The next manager we get is either Jimmy Phillips, Kevin Blackwell or Micky Phelan. Someone looking to get his foot on the rung yet unable to climb the ladder.

Be careful what you wish for is basically what I'm saying because the way it's going and will go if we get rid is that in a couple of years time we'll be looking back at home defeats to Middlesboro' and going 'Those WERE the good times weren't they?'

I'm not happy with the way Gartside/BSA/LSL/TC/OC/DF have taken the club - it's been suffocated both on the pitch and in the stands and unless something is done fast we are well and truly effed.

Sacking Dougie I don't think is the answer.

Y'know what we're like? We're like a B52 bomber, kimping back from a raid over Germany. All but one of our engines is on fire, the pilot is dead, his co-pilot is bleeding heavily and we're being flown by a rookie, straight out da Bronx who's going to land this plane no matter what.

Sadly he's a clown too and the plane smashes right in to the White Cliffs.

No happy ending.

See if that bell Noel Fielding was writing that it'd be on Channel4 tonight.

I was thinking of Memphis Belle which is of course a Flying Fortress however in the spirit of inacuracy I did type B52 which is of course the world's shittest ever band.

Rock Lobster my arse!

They are truly appalling, and I'd forgotten about them so thanks for nothing.

A tale oft told, but always a fun reminder for me: Driving behind a pick-up truck down the East Lancs and seeing three hefty builders giving it large to Love Shack on the radio (I had the same thing on and pxssed myself laughing) Wonder they didn't crash..Set the day off dead right :)

For me, on paper, it sounds like he's doing better than the previous manager. He fixed pre-season, got rid of the expensive dead wood, got some new players in, got fingers in pies for some attackers, finally the first season where we can see what he can do with his own squad, all we need now is a half-decent start, then...

Personally, I'd rather get to a bit nearer 10 games / Christmas. No-one's ever been relegated by October, have they?

I voted "Keep".

If he is sacked, will the debt be immediately paid off and the new man get the 20 million needed to get in the players Dougie wanted? I dont think so.

He has carried us through this difficult period. Allow him to see the promised land at the end of it, having assisted in putting us back on firm financial footing, and making a decent team of us after others destroyed it.

I can accept your point on the cost cutting, although I disagree that it's enough of an excuse, but the bold bit completely undermines the rest. It is just simply not the case.
