PB Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It really saddens me that the question is even being asked. For goodness sake people, "the question" isnt really being asked its an approval rating, like a president or a prime minister would get (although both would die for this kind of approval) View it as a positive thing. Any rating over about 65% is pretty healthy and shows the fans more or less behind the manager. Over 90% is an incredible level of support. Stop viewing everything as an attack on the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamus Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 erm How can it be scientific if you don't even ask the same question? (I voted yes btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant_avfc Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 MoN is the best manager we could get at our club. Easily the 4th best manager in the league behind fergie moyes and wenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Bruce has always done a pretty good job. Look at where he got Wigan to last season. Be interesting to see what he does with Sunderland ... a couple of years behind MON on a similar "project". Hughes did a great job with Blackburn and Wales but looks out of his depth with Citeh. We will see more over the season. Roy Hodgson did fantastic with Fulham last season. Harry has a decent track record and, whilst not popular with most of us, seems to have got Spurs firing. I like MON but I don't see him as the in the top 4 on what I have seen to date. Consistently poor decision making (or a lack of decision making I should say). He needs to start showing some flexibility and responding to situations (substitutions, tactics etc) IMO before we can say he is a very good manager and can take us to the next level. I would say the jury is out on MON in the modern Premier League?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Though i dont think there should be a poll every week i do think this was the perfect time for a second. I was really wondering what peoples attitudes would be after a few games when people were calling for his head after 45 mins. I think we have to get used to the fact that our fans are not all perfect and that we have a element of fickleness. There was a post to the General (no names) saying after the Wigan game he would not be utilising his season ticket for the Fulham game. I wonder after the Liverpool game if he actually went?

barry'sboots Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I have to admit that, after the Wigan game, I was very tempted to write to the club and ask for a refund on my two STs. This was not due to me being disappointed with the result (although clearly I was) but down to the frustration of knowing that MON had let us down again with team selection and lack of substitutions. It was clear from the last 15 games of last season that Stan cannot play in a 4-4-2. The pre-season improvement after he was injured and NRC started to get a game was significant. Yet he still went with Stan in a 4-4-2. I was gutted at the start and the result (and lack of changes to that formation) only confirmed this. The Plop and Fulham games have shown that he has, at last, learnt but it takes too long for my liking and I'm not sure he has any other plans/scenarios. I would have liked to see him use his bench a bit more in the Fulham game both to freshen it up (Stan had played three games in six days and is not the fittest anyway) and to keep his squad happy - Delph for Gingewell and Marc for Gab at 2-0 up with 20 mins left?? And I completely disagree with taking NRC off every time? I hope he can, sensibly, shuffle his pack this season and prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I conclusion we have about 15-20% very fickle fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ace to see the views change over time...and in comparison to results too would be very interesting... Also admin can you close the last two polls of DOL's? I was still able to vote on them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 And actually I think it bears very little comparison with the current situation - one of the strongest feelings at the time was that the board should go before the manager. So if you took that out of the equation DOL could have had much lower scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaretMahoney Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Gringo what I meant was correlating and comparing the votes against DOL to the results that were happening at the time of the votes. For example. the steady increase in votes for him to go in January coincided with a loss to WHA, but preceded by an away win at WBA. After a 0-0 draw against Tottenham away, and a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea. The votes then went back in his favor with a 4-0 away win at Boro (Moores Hat trick?)..... Goes to show that it's all about results, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm amazed that over half wanted DOL to stay in June '06. I would gladly have voted to have him deported by that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdevonvillain Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Im not voting simply because i think a poll like this should be made when we are nearing the end of the season or were at the end of the season. Still enjoy your experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
