McCann in ? Or out ?

I don't think its a witch hunt. It is just opinions and we all have the right to them. The forum is for discussion surley. If more think he should go than stay so what

Chill

 

I cannot believe you said that. Fans, fickle or otherwise are not to blame for anything.

 

How come Newcastle fans haven't deserted their team?

 

?

 

A change to 442 may have got us just a few more points - indeed which may have kept us up. He is tactically inflexible, and what Byrne does, considering he was a Centre Half when he played, is anyone's guess.

 

I would say that while our midfield and forward line have been missing key players it might have been an idea to strengthen the midfield with a 442. However i still don't want the manager sacking in September after winning the league the season before.

 

Judging the manager of our Club after 7 games is piss poor support in my opinion.

We've had injuries,suspension,players lacking in match fitness and familiarity with one another.He needs time to blend these players together and select his best 11,not some kangaroo court calling for his head because we've only got 5 points!

 

I suppose all the other clubs have had the same problems.

 

This thread isn't about other Clubs problems,it's a thread calling for McCanns head after 7 games.

If you'd like to waste half a day looking through our rivals selection issues and post an in depth report later on then I guarantee I'll read it with interest.

 

Yeah, he just needs more time. He’s only had two years.

 

Not with this squad of players he hasn't...

 

... and the other 46 games in the Championship the season before last.

 

If McCann wants a reaction & to get the players up for this game. He should be showing them this.
He should be telling them, that Sheffield Utd fans have sold out, mid week, because they’re coming to watch their team win, & Hull City not to score.
If something like that doesn’t get the players up for this game, then nothing will.
But what will McCann be saying to them?

 

The backbone of the squad is the same as last season with a few new faces, which is pretty much the case for nearly every manager after the summer transfer window.

More excuses, and really pathetic ones at that for a professional football manager in the second-highest level of English football.

 

Yes,we'll erase last year's efforts to tailor your argument

 

He won us our first league title for 55yrs.... he's earned untill at least till November. If at that point things haven't changed, then he would/should be moving on imo.

 

You've described my view perfectly. It only seems like 5 minutes since I was getting loads of stick on here as I was perceived to be negative towards Grant. All for suggesting a word of caution at the end of last season and that for me the jury was still out.
We are all aware of the research that says teams do far worse when they sack a manager as opposed to those who don't. New managers often enjoy a six game honeymoon until the team reverts back to the norm. By looking at instances were clubs were more patient with their manager, the research concluded that more often than not things do improve and actually rather than their (manager's) performance, the poor run was more likely linked to;

• lack of investment in the team
• players missing through injuries/ suspension
• difficult run of games.

Anything sound familiar? I guess the latter two bullet points will generally even out over time. The first won't change under Ehab.
We have had a difficult start in terms of fixtures. Just seven games in, we have played four of the top eight (including two of the top three) teams and just one from the bottom eight. A realistic target for this season is to avoid relegation. For such a team, the points we have gained given the balanced fixtures is probably actually ahead of expectation. That is without two of our best players from last season.

It was ridiculous that he wasn't sacked after the relegation season. He has since earnt the opportunity to continue into this season. That has to continue until some of those nuances even out.
So same message from me, the jury is still out. I do suspect many on here haven't quite shown that consistency. Certainly, this growing 'McCann Out' bandwagon aint going to help a young team.
The discussion is irrelevant, because unless Ehab wants a 'honeymoon' period a new manager brings to push the sale through, why would he sack him now when he didn't following relegation?
What is absolutely certain though is the anti Grant bandwagon ain't going to help a very young team.

 

Maybe it should be the stay away “fans” who need to see this ??

 

Hopefully you've bought a ticket next to the dug out tomorrow and you can assist with tactics...

 

I’m not paid to manage Hull City, he is.
