Maynard out?

[tommopie8]

Out as soon as physically possible.

These are the key questions. I agree that the poll is nonsense right now - you have to see how it all plays out this season.

The owners are difficult to read or predict. We've seen them sack a manager - Ardley, and keep a manager - Maynard last season. Assuming they want to be rational and fair, what threshold is SM at with his job?

No play-offs, no job. Surely they wouldn't let SM blow a 3rd season. Twice is enough.
But I think the last 4 matches have cost SM a lot of leeway. Now I think a play-off semi final exit will see him gone too.

Even a clear defeat in the final might lose him his job. Only promotion or an heroic fail in the final might be good enough for him to stay now. That'd be my guess.

I don't think even winning the Playoffs will save him, only postpone things. It may give him 3 or 4 games next season, then the calls for his head will become too great to ignore.

I can't believe that anyone thinks that having this type of poll at such an important stage of the season is going to help improve things in any way, can't it wait a couple of weeks before we have a vote that the brothers will probably not see or be interested in ?

[Notts78]

Out.If he is here next season then 10000 fans wont be.

I thought the prediction of 6k crowds was laughable until I saw this. Are you suggesting no one will watch Notts if he stays?

[ThaiPie]

In.

[TSANHO]

Fans will turn up if the football is good, look at the NL attendances. If truth be told I?d rather watch us play exciting football in the NL than what is being served up recently.

Will SM turn it around? No.
Does he deserve until the end of the season? Yes.

The owners have set their stall out on the style of football we play, and whoever the manager is, he'll have to adopt the same style, and so it goes on. If it don't work fans can blame the next manager

So they'll sack him if he plays a slightly more rudimentary version and gets better results?

Of course they wouldn't. He's lucky we spend as long as we do with the ball because the little effort it typically takes to break us down we'd get fisted every week if we didn't pass it between Platt, Bedeau and No3.

The team has underperformed for the vast majority of the season particularly at home which was the same last season once SM had taken charge.

The home form was a problem prior to SM taking over.

For whatever reason we just aren?t clinical enough in our play when at home.

It is laughable. How many times can people get away with posting such tripe? They take no responsibility and when reminded of their near doomsday predictions : 6,000 will become 3,000 in non league next season. If we don?t get promoted this season to League Two we won?t get 5,000 next season. The latest instalment is 10,000 will become 6,000 because of another season in this league, they disappear.

Then they reemerge some time later to wrongly make a similar prediction again and again. And they get away with it
