If Ramsay kept us up, would you keep him on?

[Jacko]

I'd keep him even if we drop. Which we won't.

[HawkingsHalfpint]

The fact that we’re even having this debate so soon is a signal as to how well it’s all going.

But let’s hope a few get fit for Saturday. That first win is going to be huge for the players. It looks very grim right now, but we aren’t dead just yet.

[Bob Fossil]

We shouldn’t underestimate the job required to keep us up, in my opinion. We are pound for pound, as bad as any team in all 4 divisions at present, so yes, if he manages that, he will have to have done something right.
Unless, of course, we continue on our current path, but Leicester and Oxford somehow manage to be worse. Then he probably wants fucking off.

Bit like Carrick at Man U - it is a question for May rather than now.

[Peachofacross]

It's a no from me as we stand today. Putting the injuries to one side I've not seen nearly enough from Ramsay on how we go out and win a game. The jury is still massively out for me.

I'm hoping we win half a dozen games between now and the end of the season and I will change my mind. I'm not holding my breath though....

[AlsoKeithCurlesToePoke]

Depends on how he does of course. The first few games were as bad as anything we've experienced as a club, but he's reacted and stopped the rot. Hopefully the trend continues, we start scoring a few and win the odd game and stay up - he's earned his position then.

We already look ridiculous with our managerial antics, so the only circumstances I'd want him gone are a return to capitulations, or if we had a surefire winner lined up to replace him. I could foresee circumstances where we get relegated but retain him.

[B12Baggie]

If we don't win any of our next 5 and he's 0/12, even though 12 is a very low number of games to sack a manager I don't think many on the outside would view it as antics when a manager has a 0% win ratio after 12 games

[AlsoKeithCurlesToePoke]

I'd say if that happens those on the outside would view us as a basket case. Better hope it doesn't.

He has married a former page 3 model, Lucy Pinder.  Google her.  You won't be disappointed.

I bet he isn’t. I’d best Google that one on Opera I’m guessing.

Fucking hell if I was him I wouldn’t work again

[Derek Hardballs]

Putting my sensible head on rather than Derek. This is a very difficult decision for the club not least because they have gone down a very particular route of young, managers with no senior experience as a manager in the EFL or similarly competitive European league. This route makes every appointment a bigger risk than if they went with perhaps not so malleable, less ‘educated’ or ‘trendy’ manager, but one with a proven track record. The likes of Eustace, Rowett spring to mind but are clearly not within current owners vision (what a horrible term) for the club.

We are also without a DoF or whatever title people wish to give the role, and given the circumstances at this time, are we really going to tear up the plan and start again? Maybe at the end of the season would be the perfect time, DoF hopefully in place and a reset of how the football department works from top to bottom.

If we stay up or go down I don’t think this is the time to make a decision, wait until the club has time to assess what went wrong and be open and humble enough to admit that recruitment and decision making has been poor even if you take into account the financial restrictions we are currently in.
