Thread: A Footballing Decision

  1. #1

    A Footballing Decision

    Now, trying to set aside all the contrasting views and trying to see this as a footballing decision...after all that's our business.

    MacKay is a manager with a decent footballing record and CV, correct and being investigated for some pretty distasteful remarks, agreed? So, DW appoints him on footballing grounds only and implants a clause that if he's found guilty then he will leave the post of manager, seems fair.

    However from a football point of view, should he be found guilty will he really be sacked if we've just won 5 games on the trot and making a late dash for the play offs?? Or if he's just done really well for instance? And if he is who will be in place to carry on the caretaker role at what could be a really crucial time in our season? He s already appointed Kerslake who would likely leave with him thus leaving us in a ridiculous situation of improving and then bombing the manager and no one left to caretaker the role.

    Sorry Uncle Dave, ridiculous decision, made in haste

    As things stand at the moment, if the FA find both McKay and Whelan guilty we could end up with no Chairman and no Manager - what a right mess we have got ourselves into.

    Sick of it,going nowhere till we start playing 2 upfront both in home and away games.
    We're in 23rd position next to bottom club Blackpool for **** sake.
    See Boro scored straight away after bringing on another striker on Saturday.

    This was nothing to do with MM..
    It was Barrow and the other guy..
    MM will have a different formation this weekend. He only took over on the Thursday, not enough time to change the tactics and team..
