    I wasn't referring to Davey specifically...

    more the culture of 'hire 'em and fire 'em' that pervades the game. Oh on the maths side, compo &amp; new manger &amp; new squad = mucho reddies ..... 'ave that !!</p>

    £1.3m his main investment on a striker that played

    until early November ? Also we didn't sign Kevin Phillips so how does that have any relevance to our league position this season ?</p>

    Because it demonstrates the level of Cryne's ambition - 21st position was not part of the plan

    We lost out on Philips but Davey must have been happy to settle on what he had - wonder how much we are paying towards Rigters wages?

    We would still be in this situation whether Hume had been injured or not - he's a good player but we were still doing **** before he was assaulted

    Of course he would and rightly so...

    Who's demanding that then?

    The people who are unhappy with Davey only want to see a bit of progression

    If we had a season like Sheffield Wednesday (a club with more debt and smaller budget) I would be very happy with that

    RE: £1.3m his main investment on a striker that played

    I heard (from a usually informed source) that we are paying nowt towards Rigters wages. And you can't say we would be in the same position if Hume hadn't been injured. Who knows, I believe he would have got about 8 or so goals now. Surely that would have picked us up points at a time when the strikers weren't scoring, but like I say nobody knows. Our form at the beginning of the season has no bearing on anything that has happened susequently.

    RE: £1.3m his main investment on a striker that played

    Maybe Davey was happy with the acquisition of Hume as his main striker, didn't seem like a bad judgement to me. Agree 100% about Righters. Maybe Davey had to get what he could after the Phillips deal fell through.</p>

    As for whether we'd be in the same situatiion if Hume had not been injured we had a shocking start to the season but in the six games prior to his injury we won 4 drew 1 and lost 1, so your assertion that we were 'doing ****' seems a little flawed. The injury to Hume could have been a turning point in the season.... or not, we just don't know. I do think it did put a hole in SD's attacking armoury though. </p>

    Finallyif Mr Cryne is an ambitious person... which I tend to agree, why would he keep a manager who didn't match those ambitions? Maybe he believes that give him enough time and supporthim financially hemay be successful ?</p>

    Just a thought</p>

    just going on the current standing of support. Talking of sheffield Wednesday. Barnsley fans are sounding like they did 4 years ago.
