Gringo Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The first in a new series of Monthly Polls on the Manager. Poll open until end of July. Results since last poll: Well none really. So what are we voting on? Just a bit of a baseline I guess, more than a real assessment - seeing as the (pre-)season really starts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 "Does Alex McLeish meet with your approval as manager (these past 14 days)?" Well nothing has changed as when was first announced . Apart from us selling Ash. But anyhow ..in answer to your question - obviously No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The past 14 days, I would say yes, most certainly. He's done everything right so far. He's been positive, he's not ducked away from any issues, he's done press conferences and the like to address fan's issues, he's pursued targets and said that he wants to keep the best players, etc.. So far, I couldn't have expected a great deal more from him (although an actually signing *cough* Scott Dann *cough* would have been nice). Saying that though, talk is cheap. I approve of what he's done so far, and admire the way he's gone about things.. but I still don't think he's the right man for the job. Once we start being active in the transfer market, and once we start actually playing, I'm hoping my vote won't change, but I suspect it will.. I'm hoping he'll prove me, and many many others, wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukes Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not sure what else he could have done in the last 14 days, so i answered yes, I expected Young to leave, he has, so AM met my expectations. It's a bit early for such a poll htough isn't it ? Might be better to do this at the end of the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm more annoyed at the board than F'eck. Same here but it doesn't mean all of a sudden i think McLeish is a good manager and approve of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Still wish we hadn't picked him - but he's done nothing wrong so far so it'll have to be a Yes from me. Good luck Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 He hasn't put a foot wrong so far. 62 - 37% in favour isn't bad, I suppose, considering we are reliably informed he is the son of satan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"PREMIERSHIP EXPERIENCE" my arse. Terrible appointment . That has not changed. Altho hope he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOne Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 He hasn't done anything right or wrong at the moment. Words mean nothing. It's action which is important. I've seen nothing of that at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I didn't want him here, I think it was a pretty shocking appointment. Once manager though, it is a clean slate at 50/50 like/dislike, there's little to judge on but words, from what I've heard, it's been all positive so it's about 51/49 (how much words mean!) ...so yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 He's had a much better start than Houllier. I got the impression Houllier thought we were lucky to have him whereas it's the opposite with McLeish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he cannot believe his luck-hes just relegated a side AGAIN - a championship manager - with less good PREMIERSHIP EXPERIENCE than Chris Coleman or Tony Pulis- of course he is happy to be here!
