'Mixed feelings after the wheels fell off': Fans react to Caddis sacking

Hereford fans have been giving their thoughts after Paul Caddis was sacked

Hereford fans have been reacting to the news that Paul Caddis has been sacked by Hereford.

At midday on Wednesday, the club released a statement saying they have parted company with the gaffer after nearly three years in charge at Edgar Street.

There has not yet been an official update on what happens next, including who will take charge of the team at Southport on Saturday.

To leave your thoughts like the fans below, head to the Bulls News Facebook page.

Graham Johnson said: "First season especially when he and the players did a lot to galvanise the fans. Thinking of the occasions when they made a few appearances at the Commercial after games. But he completely lost the plot this season and for that reason should have gone earlier."

David Baker said: "A sad and depressing day. I know he’s had his critics but I believe he gave 110% and no doubt had many sleepless nights. I wish him and his family all the best. Let’s hope whoever takes over can save our season."

Adrian Herbert said: "Right decision however Paul has done a lot of good things for the club, and we should thank him for that. Maybe one of the players step up for now. Maybe players will play for one of their own."

Sarah Mifflin said: "I think we owe him a lot for the two seasons when he came in nearly went out business again but he sorted it and I do feel bit sorry for him he will go elsewhere and succeed you watch"

Kevin Davies said: "Its the right decision, but I feel for him. This season was a tough ask. No right minded bulls supporter would want him to fail, but remaining part time with full time crowds. Training miles from the county, all the money going on a dilapidated three sided ground with seemingly no plans for a replacement stand.

"Problems with the pitch, problems with the installation of the floodlights and the worst pre season I can remember in over 50 years of watching Hereford. The odds were stacked against him.

"It was never going to end well. Now its time for the board to show some mettle. Appoint someone who knows the national league and give him the money to bolster the squad. If we don't relegation will be the only outcome."

Will Morrall said: "Feel sad when any hard working person loses their job, especially when they have a young family but it is the nature of the beast sadly. Wish him well in the future. No hard feelings or long lasting animosity here."

Steven Fitzpatrick said: "'Be careful what you wish for' is a saying that springs to mind.

"Does our Board have sufficient footballing knowledge & experience to identify and bring in a better manager at a time of significant jeopardy?

"A current or ex-player with little managerial experience, a 'he’ll do, the fans like him' scenario would be unnecessary risk if that becomes a consideration."

Mark Rumball said: "Sad to see any manger lose is job but this season just not worked out before the season started he was not coming back apply for a other job and did not get it so he came back to late to get the players as there signed for other clubs we need a new manger full time football you can not run a football club on two nights a week for 2 hours training to think we can go on and win the league."

Mark Philpotts said: "While I feel it had to happen while we have plenty of games left let’s not forget is work the last 2 seasons , brought a great feeling back to the club , but this season started terrible and has not improved , whoever comes in has hell of a task on their hands , this lot are simply not good enough"

Ian Bradley said: "Mixed feelings overall, easy to dismiss the reasonable job he did for two seasons before the wheels fell off. Too much entitlement based on past glories amongst the fan base in my opinion. Our ground and support don't match the level we're playing at but with a part time set up and training elsewhere, it's not straightforward.

"Where's our Ryan Reynolds?"

Richard Powell said: "Very mixed feelings. Preseason and recruitment were awful. He had to go as it has been clear for sometime that he couldn't turn the season around. But how much was caused by factors outside his control? Hard to gain any momentum with so many home games called off.

"But what is of more importance, is what happens next?"

Scott Garrett said: "Credit for what he has done for Hereford the last 2 years … but this season has been awful .. squad no quality , and the football and the club have generally been very poor , the fans deserve better .

"Someone needs to invest but that’s not going to happen … not that I see anyone doing any better than what caddis had at his disposal."

Steve Fowler said: "Very sad. Completely understand the fans’ frustration with this season’s performances but he came across as a decent, honest bloke and it can’t have been easy to have to keep rebuilding the squad every season when players were jumping ship at the first opportunity."
