If Ritchie were to go.....

under whatever circumstances what would it do to our chances of survival this season?

me 2. surely over the past 5 years we've learnt stability is good!?

 

My sentiments exactly

I can't see how changing manager every year and a half or so will ever achieve anything long term, and like people have said, who the hell could we attract to replace him?!

 

However

Relegation is hardly a basis for stability

 

True, but I doubt a new man would save us

I could be wrong of course, could get a new saviour, but I just think give Ritchie time and with a few signings (I'm sure he wants new faces as much as we all do - the man's not stupid) we could well stay up this season and build for next season.
What we know though eh? We'e just fans

 

RE: True, but I doubt a new man would save us

Whoever the new manager is (if there is to be one) his record over the next 8 games couldnt bemuch worse than the last 8.

 

True, but say it's as bad

Then what will we have achieved?

 

A new manager with....

... a ready made excuse for failure. "Well of course if the Chairman had brought me in earlier, I'd have been able to mould the team into my way of playing, bring some new faces in, freshen things up.... blah ...blah...blah"

 

But then we are told..

that AR is changing his mind about signing players.

 

A maneger lives or dies by his results, look at the league tables, as to players leaving, well i pay £400 + a year and GIVE them my loyalty.............. they,re paid for theirs

 

That's what we'd like to think, but

in reality we pay them whilst they are here and thats it

 

damage them severely

 

Don't just say that, give reason.
