Simple question. Who is running our ship?
We are all asking for 'The Board' to sack 'The Manager'. Who is currently the ultimate decision maker on 'The Board'?
Do we have a Chairman. Do we have an acting Chairman. Is 'The CEO' reporting to 'The Board' or is he currently the decision maker? Are any of these people strong enough to make this important decision?
I am just struggling to see what is what.
Enlighten me please.

Fans own the Club, fans want him sacked. No other way of looking at it.

Looking at things logically, if McCarthy had stayed on his original one year contract and got to the end of the season in the manner we did, would he have then been offered a new contract? Of course not. The decision to sack him remains a financial one. Do your best members of the board and get us out of this with a good deal.

It's obvious, we don't have the financial resources to sack him and the board are hoping for a turnaround but the home form must have an effect on the away performances too as it piles the pressure on to get results away. It is a downward spiral and for the long term good of the club a decision is going to have to be made, sooner rather than later. I just wonder though how many fans calling for his head would be prepared or able to back up their feelings/frustration with cash to help fund a change. I do think that McCarthy should do the honourable thing and walk away, but how many on the terraces would if they were in the same position.

Surely the best approach FOR ALL PARTIES would be a compromise deal to terminate his contract.
From the club's point of view the financial hit is reduced and some positive action to fix the problems can be started sooner rather than later including recovering the financial outlay.
Equally, JM could leave under the "mutual agreement" label and no sacking on his CV although everyone knows the real meaning of mutually agreed!! More importantly, I think, to JM would be the consequences of "digging his heels in" and demanding full compensation. Imagine how that would look to potential new employers - here's a bloke who would hold us to ransom just like he did at Chester - wouldn't help his chances of finding another job and, let's face it, he could struggle anyway.
Just my view

The current service CFU board will each have a vote if a meeting/vote re the Managers position is called.

There is no way he will just quit, it's quite obvious from his interviews that he thinks he's doing a good job.
Like with Burr, the club would have to bite he bullet and pay him off.
Today he was using the excuse of not having enough for players, but it was HIS decision to have a smaller squad. We were just as woeful when we had all strikers available too.
Didn't he also mention that he might have to look to bring in a physio to assess all these injuries? I thought this had already been looked at after last season.

How does a team have so many players out with muscle injuries after just 5 games? Surely there has to be massive questions over the fitness and conditioning of them. He can play the hard luck card, but it was the same last season. |

He can play the hard luck card, but it was the same last season. Not just that but as I've said several times, why is it that when a player gets injured, he is normally out for weeks. It has happened too many times for it to be co-incidence. Typical examples are White who went off with a cut to his face and not been seen since - when is he likely to be back, ditto with Bell. |

Found it strange Bell was warming up pre match today, looked fit enough to be to at least be on the bench. |

Yes remember last season with several players this was the same, Akintunde and Mahon spring to mind with 2-3 weeks mentioned as a comeback , 5-6 weeks would go by and nothing would happen. No no sign of any return date for any of the players, I don't know any club where you don't know roughly how long will be out for, a few posters last season were saying Macca doesn't like to update injuries to the press so other teams don't find out, again more obsessed about the opposition than ourselves. |

Should send him back to Gateshead and bring Alabi back from Tranmere who didn't even make their squad. Gods knows what the tribunal will be set at now. |
