Does anyone how long a contract KMAC is on? Did it ever actually say when he was appointed?
2 and a half years. |

If we had someone who could put the ball in the net, all this would go away. KMac would be a hero, the Board would be great, we'd all look forward to the next game.
As it is, we've got forwards who can;t score, the Board appear to have no substance and I can't wait for the season to end.

But we've hardly created anything in the last 2 games. At Donny we didn't have a single shot on target. Whilst some of the games this has clearly been the problem in others it hasn't so I don't buy this argument really. Walsall at home for example. We scored 2 goals but conceded 2 poor goals and that cost us the win. |

Forwards who were bought my the previous regime sho struggled to get them to score as well, not sure how KMac can be blamed for that, we all know that we needed a striker in the loan window, but I don't know whether he tried to get one or not and on that basis I cannot really comment. |

Didn't think you were, it was more of a general comment. |

Reading through his dialogue with the press, I can see that if all goes tits up he's going to blame all the injuries. Although they haven't helped I think they're not the only reason why we've taken 1 point from the last 9!

That's a perfectly valid opinion, but you have to qualify it by saying who you think WAS the best choice of manager from the pool of candidates at the time.
I don't know what the pool of candidates were exactly at the time but I'd like to think as a League One club in 1st place in the table mid-season we'd be able to appoint a manager who'd actually managed a football club full time before. |

He will resign if it goes tits up. However, what constitues tits up is subjective.

Personally I'd say tits up is missing out on the playoffs.
But at the same time would say this would not be a fair crack of the whip for him.

I think the board showed their niaviety by dishing out a 2.5 year contract to a completely unexperienced manager at the stage of the season we were at. They should have got an experienced manager in as a short term measure to get us over the line and then review whether they were a suitable long term option at the end of the season.

Good point. Worked well with Paul Hart. |

True, but at least we didn't end up forking out any compensation when he went? If we do fail to go up and start badly next season, I can't see KMac being around long. |
