foreveryoung Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 McLeish will be watching the Tottenham game thinking "9 behind the ball should be ok for Sunday"???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 my worry is that whilst we may well get rid of AM, it's not going to be in a week or so. We will have a post mortem, followed by a period of reflection, followed by asking around to see who would be good advisers, followed by working out what their terms of reference should be, followed by drawing up a short list, approaching other owners and chairmen, interviews, assessing fan and media feedback..... .......then realising it's late July and the only tin left on the shelf is a tin of Bob Bradley with a compo payout to Egypt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 He has to go in the summer. He was forced to stay in the dugout against West Brom for fear of fans having a go at him. Has this happened at other clubs? You can't have a manager who's hiding from his own club's fans, it's a ridiculous situation. I haven't been to the Hawthorns for several years. How close to the dugout do the away fans now sit? Must be pretty close if that is the reason. Away fans are located behind the goal so not that close to dugout. It'll be a disaster if the club persists with McLeish. They must think fans have short memories if they hope McLeish is going to be supported come August. Randy must be aware that there would be McLeish out protests from the first match of the season until AM is sacked. He simply cannot afford to start next season on that basis. That's why I'm sure AMs' fate has been sealed by the events of recent weeks. I think that AM's fate has been sealed by the overall performance of the season, and is nothing to do with fan 'protests' Funny how the press only started to pick up on how dire we were and how badly McLeish was performing AFTER the protest. As I said, thankfully some had some balls whilst the rest were sheep, too afraid to upset the applecart. The guys with the big balls are clearly naive enough to think that the decision makers weren't aware of how badly the team were performing until they read the report in the press, reports which were entirely prompted by the protestors. Some people really do rate themselves highly With regard to the sheep reference, I think that there are guidelines about labelling supporters with a different point of view, but as we have an immoderate 'McLeish Out' moderator, you should be okay.

SURELY we've built something into our manager contracts at this stage that they can be sacked for poor performance without compensation. there can't be many other jobs in the world where you can come in, perform awfully, and walk away with your full contract in pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the strange world of top level football management you get rewarded for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I want him out before the Spurs game, failing that before the Norwich game. Two reasons 1.) He can take us down, so getting rid of him will give us a boost for the final games, possibly getting us a much needed point. 2.) Waiting until season end could end up with the board taking a "cooling off period" over the summer as they convince themselves he doesnt need to go and actually they made the right decision in hiring him. He needs to go now, not later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 there is no point scaking him with two game sto go, wiat until end of season then sack him after norwich game. will have negative impact if sacke dnow and may put off decent managers from applying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
