Manager/Coach Next Possible Manager Poll

[The Boyce]

Would it be too big of a job to “Whing” it ? .. if he had the proper support /team in place around him..

Yes. Far too big a leap.

 

[Essexyellows]

Can't be any worse than what we have!

Is the glass half full or half empty?

End of the day, until SB is further progressed, we aren`t much of a "draw" as a club.

KR will remain safe even if we end up mid-table this season.

Dangerous game when over half the fanbase has had enough of Karl. Progress needs to happen on the pitch aswell as off.

Really? Based on what? If its "vociferous" people on social media then the old "pinch of salt" is needed.

When you`ve got genuine protests then maybe it is likely.

Trouble is folk don`t protest anymore - its normally an angry tweet that gets liked by a their friends who are of the same mindset.

When attendances start dropping or there is loud dissent from the stands then the Board might take notice.

And even then it's a might. You'd hope they'd have their own carefully considered metrics.

It would be nice if these weren't too far from those of the average supporter of course...

I guess you haven't been to the last 2 home games? Attendances are down, we averaged nearly 8500 last year. This season we have only averaged 7900.

£12,000 a game !

The average last season was swayed by some big crowds when were doing well. Crowds are decent in the circumstances, 10 K v Wycombe and 8,200 v nothing club Peterborough. It’s only a small group on here with some weird personal agenda who want people to think otherwise.

So we had 8400 home fans vs Wycombe and then 7300 home fans against Posh. Don't forget we have alot more season ticket holders this season that count to the attendance regardless of if they turn up. All you have to do is look around the ground at 3pm and see for yourself the home areas aren't as full. It comes down to the s**t show on offer on the pitch.

How many do you expect us to get v Peterborough when we are 19th? It would have been 5K at the Manor.

Isn't the fact that we are 19th (and playing poorly) exactly the point though?

 

[SteMerritt]

Bringing some stats to this discussion, our most recent attendances v Peterborough (ignoring cup and covid games)...

ATT (Date)
8210 (October 2022)
6959 (August 2019)
6541 (February 2019)
6804 (March 2018)
7500 (August 2016)

I think you missed the point there!

 

[Essexyellows]

To be honest the gate vs Posh was far bigger than I expected considering everything that is going on at and outside of the Club.

So that suggests folk are tolerating a "flaky" team making a "flaky" start.

 

[werthersoriginal]

My point was that our crowds are holding up well, as @SteMerritt has shown - they're obvs going to be a bit down on the big ones of last season but there's no evidence people are staying away because they dislike the manager.

Don't we have over 5k season ticket holders this season though? Proof will be what attendance the Fleetwood game gets next Tuesday.

 

[Big Ron]

Don’t think it’s realistic that he’ll leave the club he loves mid-season unless it’s a big Champ job.

As usual, there are a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' here. I think he may also be looking at the first proper slump of his nascent career - no 'big' Championship club is going to be able sell a new manager coming from a club near the bottom of League 1.

I appreciate he has a lot less resources than Robinson but they are only 2 points above us, having played 2 games more.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

KR will remain safe even if we end up mid-table this season.

His first game as Oxford manager was at Fratton Park. He left MK in late October with the team two places above the relegation zone, having lost three of the last four home league games.

We’re about to go to Fratton Park in late October, with the team two places above the relegation zone, having lost three of the last four home league games.

Football. Funny old game.

Wonder if it's because that to date we'veonly played the lower attendance away fans, just a thought like
