Samwam27 527 Posted April 27, 2014 so will we expect you to fall on your sword at the end of the seasonYou said our remit was to stay out of the bottom three,and the harsh, stark reality is we are now thereOnly a miracle will save us. Looking at the table we need "more than one win" to stay up, against Chelsea & ArsenalYou entrusted more money in new players than ever beforeYou entrusted this in a manager, who (I admit I wanted Hughton in) has failed in every wayThe performances have continued to be poor throughout an entire season, this is do0wn to the managerThe new players have not performed (RVW, Elmander, Fer), this is down to the managerEither the wromg players were bought, or they have failed to respond to the manager, this is down to the manager(despite more clean sheets than most seasons) We have got the 3 worst goal difference, and leakiest defenceOur strikers have failed to score goals all seasonThe fans saw the problems well before you did. You pledged loyalty to the manager despite continuing problemsIn jan, we were a long way from being safe, and despite leaky defense, lack of creativity and goals, no "freshing up" or new players were brought in(Jan prices may be inflated, but is investing between £0 to £10m in new players is worth more to the £60m Premiership than Championship and we all remember Doncasters "prudence with ambition" - look where that got us!)The board failed to actAnd with 5 games to go you sack the manager and give the role to someone with no experience at allYou even say "we have taken this decision to maximise our chances of staying up"We failed to get a result against Fulham (one suspects that was your "putting your eggs in one basket" and it backfiredLiverpool continued to be our bogey team, and a poor Man U have thumped us.Fulham are breathing down our necks, and now Sunderland have overtaken usWe are in the bottom three. Can anyone see a result against Chelsea or Arsenal (even if the gods favour us with luck e.g Liverpool beating Chelsea so they''re out of it, and Chelsea''s Champions League semi, plus Arsenal could tie up 4th against Newcastle and have the cup) we can no longer rely on other teams. WE HAVE TO BEAT someone. But who. 2 games left. Still no goalsThis has been a poor season by anyone''s standards, and whilst many of us will put the blame at the managers feet, the Board have played a massive role in our downfall.I am a hugely positive fan, but if we are to down, I just wish the season would finish, and we can hopefully start to rebuild, but are you a man of your words? Mcnally has been a massive influence in turning this club round, but even he has made many poor decision this season.They say fans are fickle, and are we just supposed to wash this under the carpet and forget your words if/when we get relegated?

I am simply commenting on comments Mcnally made. The board have ultimately failed in their remit to stay out of the bottom three, and if Mcnally doesn''t wanted to be commented on, especially his own comments, he needs to be more careful in what he says, especially being the public face of the club!I am surprised he made comments like these. Not prudent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,164 Posted April 27, 2014 The more upset amongst us seem to be flaying with their swords in all directions looking for someone to blame. Yes, the Club hierarchy did get it wrong in the end. Shite happens but let''s not go overboard. I hope McNasty stays (who else instead?) Ridiculous to suggest otherwise IMO. If you enjoy the good then take the bad like real men/ladies and stop wimpering.. We''ll be back and sooner rather than later. Of that I have little doubt.

Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . . 0 Posted April 27, 2014 Just look at who he has to work with. History would suggest our clueless tin pot owners will have played the biggest part in this latest of many shambolic episodes since they got their hands on the club.

PurpleCanary 5,560 Posted April 27, 2014 I think it is fair to say I have been McNally''s harshest critic on this board. In the early years probably his only critic! And I don''t think he should resign or be sacked if we get relegated. As to specifically why not, that might be for another time (it being a long argument), if we go down.
