    I get why your saying it, but that aside

    What does a change of manager aim to achieve? The problem is upstairs, RUPP

    Waaaayy too early for that but he has to take responsibility and we as a fan base have to stop making excuses for him.

    I'd be extremely surprised if he doesn't express serious disappointment with tonight's result.

    I'm surprised people are expecting him to make excuses or pretend it's okay?

    "Way too early" but is the only bit I disagree with.

    The excuses... those running the club are full of them.

    McCall leaving is unlikely under JR's watch imo and as much as I'd like it, I don't imagine Rupp will be selling out inthe near future.

    But McCall should not be beyond criticism himself rather than simply pinning it all on Rupp.

    Whose squad is it? SMc's or Rupp's?
    Who is responsible for recruitment? SMc or Rupp?
    Who is responsible for coaching SMc or Rupp?
    Who is responsible for the team formation? SMc or Rupp?
    Whose tactics are the tean playing to? SMc's or Rupp's?
    Whose gameplan is it? SMc's or Rupp's?

    I don't excuse Rupp (and JR) for the manner in whch the club operates and I wish they'd do things differently. But the responsibility for footballing side of the club, admittedly without any sign of a footballing strategy, has to be down to SMc

    Does he have an option?

    I didn't expect him to make excuses though.

    I expect fans to make excuses for him....and i don't get it.

    To the point. I've made a decision.. I stick to it.
    It's almost like I know what I'm doing unlike those running this sh## show of a club.

    What does "May as well one.." actually mean?

    Don’t necessarily blame McCall in the big picture but... Resigning DMH and Ismael, no right back, no left winger, no McCall type midfielder, no striker who can run the channels. A system which negatively impacts our best player - Wood. I’m not blaming him on a large scale due to the lack of scouting (if any) but he definitely gets some criticism, he’s by no means innocent.

    With regards to Macca, he certainly ain't of my radar. He is culpable.
    You may remember back in February that I didn't want McCall.

    As a player, no brainer. The best. A manager, I have my doubts which I have documented.

    Now the op clearly has an issue with Macca the manager. Its his perfect opportunity.

    My response was does change Macca, remedy the issue? A glut of failures in the hot seat Imo has deeper issues and for that I call out on SR.

    "May as well start one" but he panicked while typing.

    In the longer run, the solution for our club has to be new leadership.And that probably means new owners with a very different approach to investing in the club and a CEO who buys into that. Certainly neither Rupp not JR are going to bring a new outlook at the club.

    In the short term, I also don't believe that sacking SMc is the solution. It just puts off the inevitable and delays the changes which this club needs to progress. But I don't want to create the impression that looking for longer term change should get SMc off the hook. His approach is what produced tonight's result. It's approaching 6 months since last season was curtailed. Imo, he's had plenty of time to put a competitive squad together but that hasn't happened. We've all learned recently that we still don't have one capable of competing in the khazi and the deficiencies within the squad have been obvious to many for some time now. How we've got here is troubling and for me that's down to SMc and issues about squad composition, fitness, tactics and so on should be directed to him.
