The worst run of results and performances since the Italians.

Get rid of him.

With this run of form usually a given but with this squad I doubt anyone else will do much better so may as well save on the firing fees. With a rolling context can he ever leave at the clubs request without the year paid up in full?

Gonna run in the minority but I’d keep him. After all the management changes we need a bit of consistency. As long as pick up enough points to stay clear of the bottom two, I’d give him the summer to reflect with the board wtf went wrong and to address that and then see where we are in October. Consistency is underrated from a short term view.

The problem is I can’t see who would want to come here with experience and work with the committee and DoF. Especially with our manager turnover, it doesn’t take long to get a reputation as a bit of a basket case club.

my patience is wearing out. This is an abject run. Strong team today, Archibald and Coleman back in the team, we're running out of excuses to defend them all.

Salford were rubbish but the ease at which they plundered two goals, my god.

It's alright saying get rid, but who could do better at short notice?
I don't think there is anyone, so I'll keep Kenny

Sort of related, but while I'd like us to ditch Jackett I think we'd be seen as a bit of a basketcase club if we did so before the end of the season given past appointments and dismissals.

''we need a bit of consistency''
Yes we do indeed have consistency at present, but a consistency of the wrong kind.

Don’t know why it’s taking so long, he should have been sacked already!

We don't even look like scoring let alone winning . somethings gone horrible wrong somewhere and I don't think Kenny is going to be able to turn things around .

Where is Russell Slade . He pulled us out of the sh*t in the past so maybe he could do it again .

Just remember what happened after Russell Slade had 3 points after 10 games at the start of the 11-12 season. All were baying for his blood. Hearn ignored the supporters fortunately.

Things are improving, game by game. Once we start scoring, results will change.

One other point, Nigel said that in the NFL they had worked out statistically that if a manager has a bad patch, but is allowed to continue in the position, the results over the long run are better than chopping and changing.

The thing is - when he was appointed almost every person thought it was a good appointment. I know management is a results game but what’s changed, really? Less than 30 games isn’t a good sample size on any manager.

If we bought Harry Kane in and he had only scored 3 goals, you wouldn’t be saying we should get rid and look for a league one journeyman instead, you’d give him the benefit of the doubt that he’ll start scoring soon.

Squad depth, all was fine with the first choice XI but soon as he had to deviate from that we've been in trouble since. If losing your RB is enough to wreck the entire balance of the side that speaks volumes.

It’s not just the RB we lost though, is it?

Agree - any manager would be struggling right now. I don’t put all the blame on the injuries. Kenny has under performed and if Nigel is to believed, Kenny has a key part to play in the transfer committee, but that’s the key area to change. We could get in any manager and they would stuggle. The manager is the easy person to blame

Some of the decisions he’s made are baffling, I accept, but I’m guessing that’s what can happen under this sort of stress.

I still don’t see how we can do any better. I’d get rid of Ling and the transfer committee and let Kenny do things like a proper football manager.

Agree, however it’s probably too late now! Ling should have gone 2 years ago, we all know he won’t be discarded, Travis adores him!
