    Because he needs to be judged on results.

    Has McCall not signed players? It makes me laugh how people who follow this club always make an excuse for FAILURE! Lets wait for a new CEO lol lol has to be the best one yet for a losers mindset.

    Anyway, McCall's contract runs out at the end of the season. The question should have been what you renew McCall's contract if he doesn't take us up this season?

    Agree with everything you have said apart from "treading water" a lot of clubs are weak this season for a multitude of reasons it would have been an ideal opportunity (pre wage cap). to get in players to virtually assure us of promotion it took us long enough to get out of this league last time unlikely we will get a better chance, unfortunately lack of ambition from above is preventing us judging what Stuart is capable of

    The bar that's set for him is pretty low to be honest he is not failing (in the clubs eyes) if we finish mid table

    If that is the plan then they need to hurry up and appoint the CEO so next season isn’t another wasted year whilst the CEO decides what they are doing longer term.

    I can live with writing off one season to build a better long term but not writing off this season just to get us to next year that will be written off to allow the new boss to make changes

    Bantmsteve says "In my opinion Stuart should be given time to prove his managerial credentials".

    People wonder why I get frustrated at the leeway that Teflon is given.

    13 going on 14 years into his full time managerial career, across 5 separate clubs, 3 periods at Bradford City along with assistant coach experience at other clubs and we have supporters saying he needs time to 'prove his managerial credentials'.

    WTF!

    It really makes me wonder what planet some of these people are on.

    Stuart is probably not the best or worst manager we have had or will have
    Interested in you giving us a name that would be prepared to come in tomorrow and do a better job ??
    All I am saying is that this season he is surrounded by negativity from above
    Give us the the name of the wonder manager you have in mind

    I've just realised that if we finish mid table this year it will be 5 seasons we've started with Stuart that have all been unremarkable and forgettable.

    And people are saying give him a 6th?

    No way am I saying we should sack him but let's at least put the bar at a reasonable level for him to carry on. Jeez!

    Because they have a different opinion to you, and even if they do agree with your comments or some of them they don't try and get a rise from fellow fans with the likes of calling the manager "Teflon", sh!t I've relied again then again the last time I replied to one of your posts we won 3 - 1 at Mansfield, I hope that's a good sign, 1 - 0 to the Teflon's lads:thumbup:.

    I'd say that's more because of Donaldson not being up for a start more than McCall preferring Guthrie he's had a couple of knocks on his ankle area the last couple of games, Guthrie's got a start up to him to show what he can do and claim the shirt.

    Think he needs to change how he selects his team. Should ditch the lucky dip hat and decide on his best formation and first choice team and stick with it.

    chopping and changing every week on both players and formation makes it look like he hasn’t got a clue

    I think he "overthinks" it. It can be a very simple game, put your best eleven players out there, your next best lot on the bench and change the mix when you see things happen on the pitch. It's probably me just "oversimplifying" things.

    We give away awful goals. We defend balls into the box appalling badly.

    It's a good job this league is as bad as it is.

    Transfer window closed and it’s his squad now.
    Continues to select Novak and Guthrie

    No problem with Novak, but dear me, at 60 years old, I could still do a better job up front than Guthrie, and I was a defender!

    If Jenkins is still coming in as replacement for Rhodes McCall will be the first to go.

    Currently over 80% of people on here want McCall in, what’s that based on? Rubbish recruitment, rubbish tactics, rubbish team selection. Absolutely stealing a wage because he’s a legend as a player.

    I must have been sleepwalking or my account hacked when this was composed this morning. McCall out!
