Not convinced about him at all. Poor tactician, no charisma and does not seem to be able to get the best of out of players/attract players to the club.
How long should we give him?
Why is he a poor tactician? Didn't he try and change things when he saw they had gone wrong? Sturrock had one game plan and was awful at doing anything different. Wise was much the same. King didn't use tactics because he was amazing. Did you make this point when they were around? No you didn't. Sturrock had little charisma. Did you point this out when he was in charge? No you didn't. Although I still think someone like Andy King with his bags of charisma will be far better suited to the job than Malpas. Malpas has bought in quite a few players: Nalis; Kanyuka; McNamee; Timlin; Amankwaah; Casal; Marshall; Cox on a permanent deal. In other words, I don't agree with your tossbag comment. Your only relevant comment is that he is not getting the best out of the players, based only on the 3 games we've had in the league this season. I'm not convinced you've really put any thought into your post at all.

No Malpas out chants heard in the DR where I was sat.
Maybe the more 'mongish' element are in the TE?

To be honest though when have we ever NOT had individuals shouting random stuff at someone, usually (but not limited to) the manager? Is there a smilie for "storm in a teacup"? If not, fB, could I commission you to make one?

Yes, those who do dislike Malpas certainly do so with a passion, but for all their vehemence, they're still a very small minority. As others have said, tho, that will change quickly if we go on an early slump and he can't turn it round. FWIW, I very much doubt Malpas spent all week in training telling the players they absolutely must lump the ball up to our 5ft winger so he could use his aerial presence to outleap and outmuscle the 6ft+ defender marking him. Or taking Brez to one side telling him to faff fatally when faced with a seemingly easy chip/lob

If we got rid of Malpas who do we replace him with? Ling? Just to keep the fans happy. In my opinion there's no-one out there available, with maybe the exception of Holloway that could come in and do a better job than what Malpas is doing.

If Fitton got rid of Malpas the replacement, I believe, would be similar to the appointment of Roberto Di Matteo at Franchise. I think the appointment of Malpas has shown that many only want someone they've
1) Heard of without referring to wikipedia
and
2) Was a great player in England or any other big club.
Or Ian Holloway.

As well as being a clown, Ian Holloway just isn't a realistic option. Too expensive.
