Genuinely don`t like calling for people`s jobs as it`s their livelihood, but he needs to step down. This isn`t working.

He`s a shameless grifter at this point, knows he`s cooked as a manager at any league level and spooning up cash until dismissal.
Absolute drivel every week, pointless.

I don`t wanna go down like disco.

Absolutely time for a change, but with a family and all that goes with it you can`t expect him to walk.
Our anger should be directed at the "investors/owners" who because they are selling up are refusing to look after the club properly. An absolute shower of cowards.

He should have been paid off months ago, everything about him screams please let me go and it’s reflected in the performances on the pitch.

Give him a handshake and say thanks for the league 1 season and put Sammy in charge until January.

This might be a long post.

The manager has to go now. I hate to see anyone lose their job, but enough is enough.

One away point all season. No away victory since March. 15 points from 18 games. Due to health, I’ve not been to a game since Queens Park at home. And the football was dire. It still is. That’s down to tactics, set out by the manager. I was hoping to get to the Falkirk game, but seeing nothing to encourage me out on a cold night. Match day experience??

Last night, his post match interview basically blamed the players for not following the game plan. When any manager starts to publicly criticise the players, it’s time up.

Interesting reading about Alex Edwards. How far we’ve fallen, in standards and expectations.

I had some sympathy for him last season, with a horrific injury list. At the start of this season, the expected player budget was cut and he couldn’t, according to reports, sign the players he wanted. That’s down to the Board. In the season where it’s the most open for years, Falkirk are doing great and Livvy are their heels, while we are toiling in 9th.

You must invest properly in the first team, to help the younger, more inexperienced players, who will be inconsistent. Recruitment has been poor, partly to the Board and partly to the choices made by the manager and his inability to get the best out of what he has. Surely the players hate this negative, slow, tippy tappy stuff?

Financially,everything flows from a first team doing fairly well - tickets, walk ups, hospitality, sponsors, getting kids to come to games. The training ground can wait, we’ve done without for a long time and hired training facilities instead.

The Board really need to show leadership now. They’re still currently in charge. Waiting for new owners might be too late. It might reduce the buying price, the Board can’t want that, while it might also make a new owner think twice about buying at all.

Whether it’s an outsider coming in, or a current player as interim player/manager, it’s not just about much needed change but also about timing. The window opens in January and we need to get in early, to get some experience in and move some fringe players on. We’re not expecting to be a Manchester City, or a Rangers, but we do expect a competitive team which goes forward, plays as a team and looks like it knows what it’s doing. I’m pretty sure most fans would accept that, and don’t feel we’ve the right to win every game we play.

Thick and thin? Enough’s enough. Over to the Board.

Im in the camp that our down fall is out tactics which is down to the manager and shoe horning people into positions they are not familiar with ,when we have players sitting warming a bench and it is their natural position !
a lot of our players are no worse than what other eams have in the championship but you have to use the players at your disposal to the best you can , and you certainly need to motovate them as I do not see any motivation from us , very rarely are we on the front foot in a game , but when we do adopt this we play better because if we are down the oppositions end they cannot score against us !!
But at the same time the players really need to step up and put effort in , how would they like it if we didn`t put the effort in to go and support them ?

Youn could watch that interview with the volume off and tell from then body language alone that things are not good (putting it mildly).

I don`t think he`ll go anywhere whilst we are still the race for the dizzy heights of 8th place.

Just hope it doesn`t get to the point where it crosses a line to getting particularly toxic and also to stage where the legacy of his tenure is remembered and defined by the last 18 months rather than all the good stuff he did in the first year or so.
