Why is McCann still here

Some comments are, some aren't but you can tell the lunatics apart usually. Fact s when pretty much everyone is saying the same thing across all media, you can't just dismiss the criticism in the same way.

It's called a consensus.

 

Whether it was the consensus or not, it's of limited value.

 

I can't believe some are now saying grant is wrong for making public the abuse his son is getting. Jesus I know everyone wants him to leave as hull manager but saying he's wrong for calling out online abuse of his family is worrying and exactly why people get away with it!..... You are almost on the same level of **** as the people sending his son abuse!

 

Abusing the man's family or condoning it should absolutely be called out.

That doesn't exclude him from criticism though - as long as it doesn't cross the line into a personal attack.

I don't know the man, but I do feel he's underperforming and I have every right to express that view, as all supporters do.

 

I disagree Grant!

 

I haven't commented on its value, just that it was legitimate for Burns to offer right of reply.

 

Yep and up to GM to evaluate the pros and cons of the 'offer'.

 

Expressing our view as him as a manager and online abuse of his family are worlds apart and my point was I can't believe people are saying he's wrong for bringing the fact it's happened to public attention or saying he's doing it to deflect of him etc... Those sending the abuse and those now criticising grant for making it public need to go take a long hard look in the mirror and question themselfs as decent human beings

 

Indeed. Banning the journo's representing supporters views has just led to even fewer people warming to him.

 

He has every right to make it public. Its way out of order.

 

The players aren’t good enough to play McCann’s system in this division. How do we respect him when he himself knows this is the case but won’t sacrifice his footballing philosophy in order to maximise what’s at his disposal? If he thinks they are good enough then that appears delusional.

 

Again, it's where to draw the line. One thing criticising his philosophy and the job he's doing (or not doing...) but there is that base level of respect that most of us would offer to any fellow human - you don't abuse a man's children for the job he's doing. Simple as.

 

That's their prerogative as fans, just as City have the option to freeze out journos they regard as 'difficult'

Modern football.

 

Stalinistic and self defeating though. As it is proving to be.

 

That goes without saying.

 

Wonder how many are the same people who had a go about newcastle fans and the abuse they gave Bruce.

 

The thought had crossed my mind.

 

He’s not there to represent supporters views. This man of the people bullshit is bollocks
He’s a bbc lackey there to be impartial but he’s making it all about him as usual.

 

I guarantee if we where doing well this season they wouldn't be saying it either

 

It's your opinion, you're entitled it. It's not mine.
