Sack him, save our season

[The_Pie_Man]

The *rockpool* principle in football fandom has reared its head again this week, in that immediately following a dispiriting defeat, the *bed-wetters* are up in arms, proclaiming the end of the world and there is a flurry of activity. As the week goes on, the *apologists* come out of hiding, ruthlessly crushing any resistance and it all calms down again in advance of the next match. This past couple of days is a perfect example of that principle.

I await the outcome of tomorrow night with interest, because I think fan patience is exhausted and I simply do not think SM is capable of turning it around.

To be fair, it does feel like Maynard is the last man in the building, sweeping up and turning off the lights after everybody else has gone home. Maybe a lot of people are terrified that if Maynard is forced out, the whole edifice will collapse.

I'm really struggling to imagine that Hardy, the Trews - or any other previous owner for that matter - would have been given a free pass had the events of the last 6 weeks or so occurred under their watch, with the man basically running the club walking out the door, two coaches leaving in a fog of rumours and - almost two months later - the coaches still not replaced.
