If you have had enough

Just emailed him. Told him he was incompetent and should walk the plank.

I fear that it'll all fall on deaf ears. We've made our disgust known at the last 4 games & still no action has been taken bar players doing their token "blame us" interviews. Until John goes, I'll be staying away. Call me a "shit fan" or whatever, but this is my way of saying that enough is enough.

Waste of time emailing the club there clearly not listening to the fans.

Sad it's come to the point where fans are feeling he need to vote with their feet over a manager. This is a situation we should never have been put in. Only way I would consider going if there was some sort of concerted effort to force the board to listen during the game. Or would that then warrant the "happy clappers" to have a go back? Or even the manager, he's got the brass neck to chat back.

Was thinking that myself. That way the club still get our money but we make our voices heard. This is the sort of thing why I raised the subject of having an ISA again - an independent supporters group distanced from the club. Could argue that fans can just do these sorts of protests themselves but organisation and "strength in numbers" helps.

I'm fairly confident behind the scenes it won't be so rosy as he makes out. They'll be talk of sacking him by now, definitely. IMO McCarthy won't be our manager by the end of this month. He'll have to go on a winning run throughout this month, which is highest unlikely.

Those who support McCarthy are in the minority. The only two who probably still support him are Richard and Pauline. Just don't sit next to those two.

I share your frustration regarding McCarthy but I think the rest is a bit harsh. I think everyone was over the moon when Burt was appointed and no-one expected it to end in failure.
The Board has made mistakes, especially giving McCarthy an extended contract despite poor results over Christmas and the start of the new year. However, to say there  is a 'malaise'  and something 'sinister' is I think a bit unfair on the Board, who like ourselves are true supporters and doing their best for the club without any hidden agendas. 

We would appreciate it if you could keep him until we have played you - thanks.

I said incompetence OR something more sinister. Did Burr get the job without going through the application process? Over £100,000 in profit after first year -where did that go? "Mates" type appointments in managerial or marketing positions. Hennigan move to Motherwell for free, strangely sharing the same agent as Burr! Signing on players who never played, despite the alleged low budget. Appointing an assistant manager who doesn't come to matches. A new assistant manager on a playing contract, but is overweight and unfit. Where did Grenville go? Appoint a CEO with a disastrous track record. Lots of medical, psychological and physiological background staff over the summer, but now a manager says we haven't got any.  The club now has a four year record of strange goings on which seem to be ignored or uncared about. Is it all just down to incompetence and naivety?
I simply express my concerns and apparently I'm bonkers. If you think simply replacing McCarthy is a cure all then you really are deluded. Bet you thought replacing Burr was it all sorted eh, deluded one.

Well put rcb. Definitely something sinister going on. You've raised a lot of unanswered questions there.

As for McCarthy's extension, surely a rolling contact would have sufficed.

Perhaps the root cause of our struggles in the Conference is based around the meteoric rate we got there, rather than a steady progression over a longer period. We seem to have periods where progress on the field raced ahead of development of the greater club off the field followed by the reverse. Apart from one season under Burr we have continually struggled in the Conference/National league. You feel that we are at a pivotal point where there is light at the end of the financial tunnel which might allow steady progression on the field. However we are in danger of mucking it up and it seems that a new experienced manager is urgently needed to steady the ship and start getting some positive results particularly at home. There are never any guarantees that a change in manager will result in a sustained improvement over a number of seasons. We have tried experienced and successful but at a lower level, highly experienced and regarded, and totally inexperienced. None have brought sustained progress. I wish I knew the answer, but sadly Jon McCarthy has to go, and someone else given a go. Realistically I have no optimism that whoever comes in will bring sustained upward progress over a number of years, and initially success will be seen once again as survival. Perhaps this is where we will always be as a club, with the almost inevitable result that relegation will happen one year.

I'm not sure that this squad is as good as everyone is claiming for it. I think Mahon and Chappell should have been released at the end of last season. Our back four are a downgrade on last season as Hunt and Vassell were better than Halls and LRT have shown so far. McCombe has replaced Sam Hughes/Hudson and has no pace. I've yet to see Turnbull justify a 2-year contract although I will give him a chance and Shaw (10 goals last season) needs to be playing every game. We have yet to see which injury-free two up front are going to replace Alabi's goals. Finally this bonkers idea of having all 11 players back for corners was proved nonsense when Sutton scored after 5 minutes with all the players back.

Good points. You would of thought that the minimum target from these two games against dubs in the bottom 4 was 4 points?
Agreed it could be pivotal.
MM has said if something needs to happen then we can do it from a financial perspective. What hasn't been discussed which you correctly ask is can we afford to pay for another manager. I wonder if anyone can come on here to clarify/shed some light on this?
