What was the final stat before reset?


He should walk. His record is WORSE than Steve Kean in terms of a win ratio, with better players! Less goals too!


He is a complete plank, and his half time team talk today must have been a fucking theatrical masterpiece to conjure the turd like shite that was vomited onto the pitch second half. Listening to him is getting almost as nauseating as watching 2 girls and a bloody cup.

Made me chuckle, but sadly it is true he absolutely has to go. The board have to act before it's too late, our results have been atrocious.

I usually would say give the guy a season but i think McLeish is an exceptional case (in a bad way). I think he could be gone on Monday.

Come on Father Christmas please don't give us false hope.

It's so obvious with every game that he should go, it is just so depressing. It will not get better and even if we scrape survival and that is by no means guaranteed it'll be the same next year and the only difference is we'll have wasted any money on offer. We are fucking gash, Mcleish is useless and nothing will change until our incompetent board understands they've back the wrong horse and they pull the trigger.

I genuinely believe we would be getting better results without a manager.

I wanted McLeish to be a success here, I really really did. I don't care where he came from, I don't care that he plays a more defensive style of football and I don't care that we're not top six challengers this year, but failing to take anything but 6 points from the bottom two clubs is unacceptable, our home from is unacceptable, our inability to defend is unacceptable and for him to say that no other manager could do better with his resources is an insult to every single one of us.

It would be very difficult to get much worse, 6 wins from 27 says it all.

I have been in the camp that wants to see him have a chance next season but he has too much to do to change things. He has too many people to win over and it is not going to happen. I'm beginning to believe as well that the emphasis on 'holding out' is too strong and it does not work.
We can play football, we did today but we can not play football for 90 minutes and we do not have the bottle to stand our ground and soak up pressure which has to stem from belief from the boss.

The worrying thing is every one of our players are guilty of either not defending too well or not taking there chances at the other end. Far too many mistakes are happening.

My worry is that even if they get rid of him the next bloke will have to opperate on a shoestring, they will fuck up the appointment and we will be in the same situation next season-depressing
