It's that time again - Davey Poll.

This is the first time I can recall a BFC manager's fate not being cut and dried

Personally speaking of course, I'm sure plenty have already made their mind up (haven't you Albatross!)</p>

I told anyone who's listen for weeks I wanted shut of him, never more vociferously than at half time Satdi. But I really don't know if sacking him now is a good idea.</p>

Davey Negatives</p>

-Tactically weak, often waits too long to make changes and his formations are sometimes shockingly ineffective</p>

-Signs players and then decides he doesn't rate them</p>

-Doesn't even seem to have a good relationshipwith some of the players that play well for him</p>

-Media unfriendly- can't stand the local press never mind the nationals. Worse on that front since P Hart</p>

-Clearlylacks inexperience, probably the most inexperienced manager in our league.</p>

</p>

Davey positives (or reasons not to sack him)</p>

-Most of the players are his signings so in theory should be behind him</p>

-He's shown that he's got the ability to win very difficult matches- we seemed to do better against the top sides last season than the ones at the bottom end. And there's the cup run obviously.</p>

-He's on a 4 year deal and would demand a chunky payoff if he was sacked</p>

-We're always sacking managers</p>

</p>

Clearly more reasons to get shut than for him to stay, but even still I can't make my mind up. If he hasn't got a meeting with Cryne this week then he bloody well should have, because turning this round will take action from top to bottom, starting with Cryne and ending with a motivated and fit squad on matchday. Cryne should be kicking arse and letting people know in no uncertain terms that this isn't acceptable.</p>

I'll give him till the end of October. If there isn't a marked improvement by then, he's got to go.</p>
