Well done Neil! Your stocks just gone up in our house.

I still like Lennon a lot and he has my full support as manager. Hopefully he's still in charge in the long term because I think he can take us forward once the financial difficulties are over with.

[danardif1]

Still think he's the right man at the wrong time... hopefully he's in for the long haul with us because I agree with you Frazier...

This is a nice message though, I didn't donate but those who did are bloody good people and deserve some thanks from the club.

Right now he doesn't have too many options about much. It's not a matter of choices; club's skint and can't pay the ones we have. The Premier league is full of managers under the axe's shadow because they aren't topping the league and observing divine right rules. Jose Maurihno is a shining example of this.The league's below just follow the pattern. I've long held it being bullshxt that if a player isn't breaking every pot in sight it must be the manager's fault and one or both should be sacked. Bolton just typifies the business aspects of football over the game itself. Someday, maybe, (probably not in my lifetime) players will stop being Bentley-driving millionaires, fire off greedy do-nothing agents and get back to it being a job and be paid accordingly. That's the root of it all, and "what else is new Sherlock?" and all that stuff. Gudni's article hits the nail, get together as a team unit and bring some pride back to the game and the town. Talk has always been a cheap commodity.

When clubs sack managers there's always the "what if they hadn't been sacked" question. In this situation right now it would be really interesting to see what happens if a manager who seems like he has a brain and is adaptable gets time to ride out the really bad spell. Having fixed the problem, you hope he'd have learned something and become a better manager and those same problems would not resurface.

I admit it might not be the time for social experiments though.

Apart from Sam! In my lifetime no Manager has achieved any level of success after leaving us! So it might be wise for Neil to tough it out.With a bit of luck he could turn things around here! Bleak times probably lie ahead,but continuity is a proven recipe for success. NLSWA

Knowing what we know now, is it fair to wonder what's going on below the camera shot?

Might as well have stuck with the previous manager then, or the one before or the one before etc etc....

Yes, the very three that have seen us arrive at this predicament by spending more than we have on absolute shite. Yeay. As I've asked before - If we sack Lennon then just who on earth is likely to want the job and is likely to do any better?

Well, in our current predicament I agree. Should the ownership be resolved, I'd hope he'd be out the door immediately. If we have any money going in we cannot let this joker spend a single penny. In my view.

Oh I agree. The players that he has brought in haven't turned up for nowt (well, not willingly anyway) and I really don't think we've scouted the European and Scandinavian leagues hardly if at all, from which I'm absolutely convinced we could have brought in better players for the same wages, or less. But moreover, I'd like to think, especially when there's absolutely no room for error, that a decent manager brings in a player because he's a good fit to the metaphorical jigsaw, not simply because he happens to have played at Full Back.

if being a manager was about talking to the media - then Lenny would always have been ace... problem is - it's not!
