Updated poll after Arsenal: Should he stay or should he go?

[Big Ern]

Do we have to have this every single bloody game? Its a little disrespectful tbh.

What a f*cking boring season this is turning out to be, one way or another. Worst since 98/99.

Yes...Yes we do!

[Terminal Boardom]

This has all the hallmarks of relegation from the second division in 87/88 and the subsequent meltdown of near relegation back to the 4th the following season. Who knows what effect this season is having on the players? They shirley know that whenever they go a goal behind that there is no return. A change has to be made and made asap. Smee hung on to Branfoot way past his sell by date and the same is happening now.

Why is it that the supporters can see all this yet those that make the decisions don't?

[Lovely hot donuts!]

After Sunderland I said sack him but I've had a think since then and, unless a proper transfer budget is provided, no-one will do any better.
Our entire budget is less than most Championship clubs - even Mourinho or Guordiola couldn't do anything with that - and they'd probably take most of it in wages!

How do you know what our entire budget is? And even if true, that makes his (mi)use of it over the summer even more culpable.

Well he said himself that he spent the whole budget in the summer so it was like £3m-£4m then.
And, I don't see what you could have done better with that money! Tbh he did well with it but that simply isn't a budget to compete in the Championship no matter the premiership!

And, I'm not having a go at anyone for providing such a small budget - if it's all we can afford, it's all we can afford! But, it means we are a club who can't compete at this level and we should accept that and accept that changing the manager is a pointless!

If we were to get rid of McDermott, I think we would've done it after the Sunderland game, can't see us getting rid of him now. With a few players coming back to fitness and January just round the corner, I think the club are prepared to give McD the opportunity to try and turn things around.

[Para Handy]

Personally, I think he should read HobNob more often and adjust his tactics according to what the more experienced Premiership managers on here are saying. That's his biggest failing. Not realising that he's got a wealth of informed opinion readily available to him.

Basically, Brian you're a twat. Yeah, yeah, you might have got us back to the top flight with a decidely average team but your time is done. Back in the box with all the other managers we've had McGhee (anti-christ despite the style of football) Sir Steve (got us into the Premiership for the first time ever but now derided for getting us relegated and being too loyal) Terry the Taxi, Alan "Judas" Pardew, Tommy Burns. Deary me. Are we ever going to have a proper manager.

When did he say that? And how could he have done better with the money? Not f*cking waste it on players that he then falls out with and/or won't play!

Well he did have the whole summer to improve the squad.....

Sarcasm displaying stupidity! And SSC does not get derided. McGhee and Pardew only got stick for their lack of loyalty - both were praised for their abilities. So do try harder if you are going to try to score points with sarcasm.

[Pearcehegone]

Think we are all missing the point here. Ever since Simon Church was loaned out things have gone massively downhill. Dressing room gone, Players refusing to play, lack of effort, tactics out the window etc etc. Church been prolific for Huddersfield with one goal in six games and rumours are that their team spirit has never been so good.

Ha ha. You think I've got the energy or time to waste on a dick like you? However, I will answer one point for you. Yes, SSC does get derided, often, for being too loyal. I'd search for it but I can't be arsed. You being anally retentive might bother.

[LoyalRoyalFan]

So according to you, we cannot criticise the manager because he got us promoted?

Get a grip.

Not derided by many, criticised by plenty. Although the man himself admits to that mistake, so I'm not sure why you have a big bugbear about it.

Frankly, I'm amazed that you and Royal Blue aren't running the team. I can only assume Madesjski doesn't read the Team Board but confines his browsing to AE.

I mean really, you two would be the dream team. Maybe with Floyd in the Wally Downes role.

Oh do fuck off. I can't be arsed speaking to you 2008 people.

Coppell had his time. People couldn't wait to get Rodgers out the door a year later.

You have to take a risk. QPR took a risk last season, and this, resulting in them staying in the league. Look at the table.

[Fezza]

Not so worried about the bad tactics or heavy defeats, so much as the complete lack of passion!

Er, as you've got 5,000 posts nearly I obviously need to respond to you. Sorry for the lack of respect earlier

You've clearly missed my point but illustrated it nonetheless. As for QPR. Yeah, I've taken a look at the league table and their expenditure over the summer. Your point?

[Kebe is our Messi]

Zingaravich is to blame. Brian spent his budget in the summer (he has said himself), which was the lowest in the league by some distance. All this talk from zingaravich getting european football in 5 years is a complete nonsense. So far he has invested hardly anything into the squad.

Brian should stay
