    Has any manager ever been given a vote of confidence and then not eventually been sacked?

    People’s perception is almost that the words “vote of confidence” actually mean the complete opposite these days,and it’s only a matter of time before the axe falls.

    I presume that's why he brought in Glyn Hodges to assist, as he has experience of lower league football.

    who ? Cook ? He always gets out jumped when a defender is close to him, rarely wins 50-50 headers, he is soo immobile, just watch him on sat and count how many headers he wins when a defender is on him… free headers yes he will bury them 75% of the time.. but on 50-50s he would get out jumped by Bilbo Baggins

    He has shown already he isn’t afraid of that.he will be weighing up what several people have pointed out at some stage we have to give managers more time because hiring and firing doesn’t work. Many people wanted Parky sacked that first season we stuck with it and we progressed every season of his time.I think Hughes is skating very much on thin ice after our last two performances so he has a hard decision

    Yes but it is extremely hard to identify what he brings to the party.

    But on the flip side, as I said, I'm sure the club are looking at this a situation that can be resolved and move forward. It's only my opinion but the season ticket debate is months from being an issue and rarely surfaces despite comments from disgruntled fans.

    Like I say, only my opinion but I'm just thinking it's a bit early from a boardroom perspective and Hughes will be afforded more time

    Will the club feel Hughes can achieve this and back him in the interim, I feel so.

    I don't agree but I'm putting myself in the shoes of the decision makers.

    I don't think I'd read a lot into that, there's not a lot for them to post the day after a game and if they do post they know what type of reaction they'll get so not worth it.

    You can't just pick and choose which stat, poll etc suits your narrative. I mean I want him gone, but as a regular reader rather than poster here, I haven't voted. Likewise I haven't voted on the T&A website but I still wouldn't say one trumps the other.

    Personally I would drive MH back to Wrexham myself, for me he isn't going to change his football philosophy now that the going has got tough, but I can actually understand why some would be wanting to give some more time.

    There was a bigger poll done straight after a defeat last night from Parker with a bigger sample and it was Sixty forty in favour of sacking. So he does have the support of plenty of people.not because they are happy with things or think he is doing a good job at the moment, more because the timing is wrong it’s to soon

    You don’t fire a manager who has just taken the club to the play offs. Unless your saying they should have persevered

    I'm saying the timing of firing managers is always crap under Ryan.

    You go further by saying Hughes shouldn't have been fired at all.

    Yet you're 100 % behind Sparks, thinking he's doing a superb job, and (presumably) that nobody out there could do it better.

    Puzzling.

    The timing was right. Another 3/4 poor results and we could be 10-12 points off the play-offs.
    At least the new guy has got a chance of saving the season.

    Not even one who made a catastrophic error of judgement in taking off his best player in the playoffs and then admitted he was hoping for a winning lottery ticket (Penalties)
