Worry is the new guy doesn't get everyone up to speed quickly enough, which a full pre-season may help with, and he doesn't perform a miracle. All of a sudden we are starting next season with a manager many fans already have lost faith in.

We're not looking for a miracle though mate. We're looking for an improvement in performance and results from players who look as though they know what they're doing.

Yeah but we are well and truly in the slide. I would rather give Dodds the chance to stabilise it than for it to tarnish the new guy's relationship with the fans.

As a fan base we have shown some impatience recently. I don't think we're above repeating things after a few bad results.

We'll have to agree to disagree. For my mind,if we're as sure as we can be that he's the right man,we get him in as soon as we can.
 
Agreed. Remember McCarthy's first 15 games in charge? Lost them all didn't we?
Totally unfair bringing them in for last few games. By all means introduce them, but day 1 should be ready for a full pre-season to get ideas across. Pointless before then.
 
I don’t think owt will happen because they brought a new coach in but if they were announced when we know our final status that will provide some clarity.
 
What he got in his early months was a bit of something else.

A bit of team confusion and fan fury.

"A bit of the other side of life in Glasgow when you are dominated and ridiculed from the other side of the city.

"As a group, we were scrambling," the 30-year-old recalls of the days under Michael Beale.

"We weren't in a good spot. It wasn't going to plan, it wasn't right. We were running down a cul-de-sac into a dead-end.

It didn't feel like we were getting to where we needed to get to."


Things have turned in a major way. A trophy in the bag, top of the league, European knockouts to come, tremendous personal form from Butland, talk of an England recall and the kind of consistency he has not found since his best days at Stoke City in the Premier League."


Looks like we may need to give our players some time for their heads to clear.
Good post and worth taking into account. I wonder if this is what KLD meant when he called for patience?

I think as long as we're reasonably well organised and play half decent football, which shouldn't be a problem if we get the right guy in, fans will be accepting of results not being amazing.

It's the way we've gone from playing sexy attacking football to the stolid unimaginative stuff we play now that's bothered people the most I reckon. I think most people have accepted we're not going up or down this season.
 
Took Fulham down, got Bournemouth up then sacked for running his mouth off at the club. Sacked by Brugge after 2 wins in 12.

Not for me Clive
Fulham promoted from this league automatically. Then Bournemouth automatically too. 2 championship promotions in 3 years. Good football. I wouldnt dismissing that so quickly personally. Might be at the top end of our reach.
 
Don't know what to think about that one really.

Promotion is and all but what's the point of achieving it without at least the chance of staying up.
The brutal view would once promoted replace him. Or like Bournemouth give him a chance but act quick. Just putting it out there. I would quite like him personally. Streets ahead of the likes of Lampard and one or two others mentioned. I suppose it depends if we want someone who has been there and done it, or someone who might be able to do it and more. Him or Cooper would do for me at this stage.

I just don't think you can bin a manager that wins you promotion. It's an ugliness I wouldn't entertain.

What's the saying, you have to dance with that one that brung you?

Big no from me. Fulham and Bournemouth fans both say his football is horrid, took the playoffs to get a Fulham team with Mitrovic and other PL level players promoted, was horrid in Belgium. I'm not sure he gets another job at a decent level.
