If Hudds is a reason to walk, more damming is the other 20 or so players that are in the first team squad at his request. That's even more if a reason not to walk, but to be pushed.
I want him gone right away, but at the very longest, surely he has no more that the next 2 games to turn things around. Unless something changes radically with his approach, then even getting a couple of points or three from the next 2 would likely only be papering over cracks. His Championship record is dire. No other word. Back to Les's point, even though he's working under a restricted budget, many if not all of the players he's brought in (here now and previously) are of his choosing, even with those scouted by others he would have had at least a say, and also importantly a big say in the make up of the squad. He has to take a fair degree, albeit not all, of the responsibility for what we currently have. And then the next point, and probably even more importantly, being that it is down to him and his staff to get the best out of what he has; he is without question failing horribly with that. If there isn't a big turnaround, how realistically can he survive the next 2 games at home. What does it take for someone in his team or upstairs to point out to him 'Grant, it isn't working fella'? The remaining fans will for sure if this continues. He has to go.
The current owners won't make a change if they're expecting to sell. They'll leave it for the new regime. Listening to his interview, he doesn't sound like he's planning on walking.
There’s little point in him walking away unless the takeover is close, in which case they’ll sack him anyway. He’s basically running down the clock, I can’t see him walking away from free money.
Please give us some hope!?! Just read a tweet saying it's now 9 points out of 84 in the Championship for McCann. NINE from 84 ... that's 28 games!! (correct me if it's wrong). Has there ever been such a poor record with the manager surviving, whatever the circumstances? Our circumstances aren't great, but they really weren't and aren't THAT bad!

It's pretty clear that even with the budget constraints, embargo, Jan player sales last time around and squad downing tools, he's underachieved at championship level. I was all for getting behind him at the start of the season, thought he'd earned the chance to show what he could do, but following the Bournemouth game after he almost goaded critics for identifying the obvious lack of championship experience in both boxes things have gone from poor to pathetic. I expected a scrap to stay in the league. I didn't expect to be surrendering once again without laying a glove on whichever opposition we happen to be playing.
