BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted October 29, 2008 And you know what often happens in November.Yep. Reckoning time.Say, just say, we lost our next 4 games culminating in an embarrassing loss to bottom club Notts Forest in front of the Sky TV cameras and a worldwide audience on Setanta.It''s not an impossible scenario. We would then have lost 8 out of the last 10 matches.Discuss the fate of the manager and how you as majority shareholder would handle the situation.Seems like a good MBA exercise to me.

7rew 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Say, just say, we win every game for the rest of the season. Then we''d be champions. Basically, if we start doing much worse than we have then it will be an abysmal season. If we start doing much better it''ll be a great season.Mind you, you won''t like that kind of hypothetical question, so here''s one for you:Say, just say, we never ever win another match - In which league will we be when we go bust? In which league will we be when we disband?Our results this season would suggest 4 or 5 points from the next 4 games. - Swansea are a footballing team, ergo we stand a good chance against them, especially at home.

We would then be on a run of 10-11 pts from the last 10 matches. Still relegation form - with getting on for half the season gone.Does the MSH give the manager a vote of confidence - or send him on his way?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
