There does seem a huge lack of decent managers out of work at this present time, I suppose you could argue that if a manager is decent then they will always be in work, its the nature of the beast.

I have read a lot on here about how the managers out of work aren't that much better than Hughton, which if im being honest i would probably agree with with, But sometimes the change of manager with fresh ideas and loads of energy gives a fresh impetus to the players and gives the club a lift and as a consequence results improve. It doesn't happen all the while granted, but while the millstone of the will he get sacked, won't he get sacked it drags the players down and their performance and the club will suffer.

and if he does go he will probably apply for the Ireland job and your Mick will stay :)

I agree a change of manager can bring a change of fortune. But I would be happy enough (as stated previously) to take a manager who does not have that much experience but still has the right qualities. Maybe a bit of a risk but not more so than taking a manager who has been relegated previously. The idea you need "experienced managers" to get out of a relegation dog fight I dont buy into.
 
I still think that any managerial change at this stage would be a massive gamble. It'd be different if he'd lost the dressing room, or the players were playing badly, but they aren't. Tuesday excepted because of all the changes, the passing and movement has been much better this year. I particularly dislike the current practice of some detractors linking this year to last 'from the first game after the 10 match unbeaten run'. This ignores the run and the 3 straight wins that preceded it.
 
agree with much of that guru. what i find odd is that there seems to be a misconception that most fans have now turned against him. i read somewhere that 'the majority' want him removed. from what i can tell by going to games and just generally chatting to people, i'd say he still has a huge majority on his side, possibly well over 70%. i don't think there's any doubt he's under a bit of pressure but its the very, very vocal minority who seem intent on making themselves heard above all else and it is giving the impression that he is very close to the sack. i'm still not convinced he is anywhere near the sack but if we continue to struggle scoring goals and/or points do not get collected, he will be in big trouble - that's the nature of the beast. i'd be astonished if he isn't still our manager in the lead up to christmas. if he has gone, something will have gone very wrong on the pitch in the next month.

and the phrase that 'man city were on the beach', giving us a false league position. sorry, weren't we also 'on the beach' then?
 
i don't think hughton would want the irish job. he was very quick to say he was 'flattered' but 'not interested' and i imagine he'd walk into another club job very quickly as his reputation is still very good. he'd easily walk into any championship team and half a dozen premier league clubs

This shows the state of play as of Wednesday (including my 'stick with him' vote). It's hardly representative, with only 82 votes cast at the time.

It's on Newsnow (page 4 half way down) but as I already voted, I can't see the current figures, or tell if the sway of opinion has altered. If someone could let me know, I'd be grateful <ok>
