    I’ve stuck with Spackman. Whilst the others have both been lamentable Schopp in particular was dealt an unplayable hand

    I've gone Spackman for these reasons too.

    I agree with your comments however Spackman has to take the biscuit, he was backed & he was not working under stupid restrictions that these employers have introduced , he was backed by a supportive owner & had to some degree a free hand in the transfer market , he had the tools that these two have not.

    Has to be Poya. As others have said, he has had benefits that Schopp did not, both on and off the field, but has still made a complete hash of things. At Swansea he tried to bring poor old Victor on right at the death and couldn't even get him on the pitch. The radio commentary team were in disbelief. The bloke takes negativity to a whole new level.

    I don’t remember Spackman but has to be Schopp for me.

    We were an absolute shambles all over the pitch under Schopp. He was so clearly out of his depth. As some have said he had a tough set of circumstances, but so have a lot of managers and we were the worst I’ve ever seen us.

    Poya is up there but we’ve at least had some good performances. If we’d held on vs Fulham, Stoke, Reading we’d be in a good spot to stay up.. that’s his fault of course but it’s more than Schopp could ever have done

    Looks like Poya is picking up lots of 2nd preference votes in the run off.

    Nail biting stuff. More exciting than any match I’ve seen this season.

    This is close, Im really undecided Ive gone for Schopp a ppg of 0.5 and that good due to a lucky win against Coventry. I know he had a bad hand but he clearly was clueless and destroyed the players confidence - Im certain that even with the problems which werent insurmountable a decent manager such as Val or Colin would have had us well clear of the bottom 3.
    I wonder though if I should have gone for Spackman - he inherited a much better side, had no problems with the board at the club who wanted on field success and managed to totally destroy it
    Not Poya for me - I know he has better players and is usless but at least he has a plan - not a great one but the players at least understood what he wanted - I would put Poya above those 2 and McSeveney but below just about everyone else including Morais Parkin and Hodges

    Gone for Schopp. I honestly think he would've lost every single game had he stayed in charge.

    I think people have short memories and Poya is getting the votes because he has taken us down - Also some of the voters wont remember Spackman so will tend to vote for Poya or Schopp. But you are right its exciting stuff

    Markus manoeuvres like the teams he set out into 2nd place.

    Probably Schopp, based on the playing careers of those 3. Spackman was more of a defensive midfielder and Poya had little to no football career.

    Yes I remember him well but he was light years in front of these three candidates, they are in a class of their own ,McSeveney gets in the " also ran " list .

    Yes I do I remember us being dreadful but its too long ago for me to remember well enough if he was even worse than Schopp - I had him level with Spackman previously
