He's had less than a year, with a team that was severely weakened by our best players being sold. He has distinctly average players with an un-ambitious budget.

Not now. I'd wait until the end of the season. If we pick up then he should stay or if we are poor he should go. I don't really think we can attract a good manager in mid season and the out-of-work options are downright depressing. I also have very little faith in Lerner to appoint a good manager.

I also feel it would be a bit unfair for him to carry the can. There are other people to blame at the club. The players and the owner who has failled to back his man (who would just about have been on to a loser any other way)  being outstanding candidates.

He is dragging us down. I always defended hi as he's a good bloke and was appointed as the fall guy. But today was an absolute shambles. We only played for the last five minutes or so.

You can read my mind! How do you do that? Can you tell what I am thinking about your comment?

Yes, and even with that, he manages to be even less ambitious with performances like today.

There's no shame in losing to Man City, but there is shame in playing in such a laughably embarassing way.

I'm going to vote 'no', but only because I think he should be given until the summer, after which if things carry on he probably should be given the ol' boot out the door.

He should be, but I doubt Lerner has the balls to make the decision.

When did the custodian of shit teams last show up to watch us? I can see why the Browns fans dislike him.

I've gone with yes, but maybe not before the end of the season, depends how bad things get. But the simple reason is that I just don't think he was good enough in the first place and he's proved it. Sadly I think it's that simple.
