How many fans do you know call for the head of a manager after an initial bad game? Very few, if any at all.



I’ve heard them at pretty much every game I’ve ever been to, regardless of the manager…….

Quoted from sam gy


It’s not an official club statement, it’s an article on a national newspapers website giving a bit of a behind the curtain (if you will) insight in to what it’s like when you own a football club and have to sack a manager. People find this stuff interesting/insightful, if you don’t, fair enough..


I agree.  I thought it was an interesting article.  He wasn’t criticizing Town fans - he was making the correct point that fans often call for a manager to be sacked without reflecting on the human cost. I would imagine it was a tough call to sack PH because there was clearly a strong relationship and no-one likes to sack a colleague.  I’d rather have a owner who is thoughtful about decisions and shows some humanity than some of the alternatives out there.

Was interesting to see Wayne Burnett comment on Twitter.  I expect he will have applied for the job.

If appointing our new Head Coach is a simple decision, who you going for Gib?


PH without DD.

Ben and Shaun have been great and will be but don’t believe their time is right now. Recruitment will be key and PH has track.

And yes I do games and have seen the upturn but most on here think as I do B&S not just yet.

Is there anything in DD being the problem or are you just guessing?

I was in the Main Stand when fans in front of the old directors box were chanting McAvoy out.

How long ago was that😁

Was there a little dig at the fans again🤔

Do they really think talking all this data bxxxolox impresses and particularly when it’s not going well on the field.

Anyway how much longer are they going to swerve making a simple decision (nothing useful e said on that). Stick or twist and forget all this pretext of we’re bucking the trend because we’ve reinvented due process in football.


JS said right at the onset that the process would take weeks rather than days, and that they hadn't started looking before relieving PH of his duties. I personally didn't feel "digged at" by that article, but then I'm not someone who feels the need to have a moan about everything the club do and say.
