    NAPM. Surely that's the next step. How else can you show you disapprove?

    Can’t argue with that. At least they are facts.

    and if mccall wasn't so stubborn and accepted the fact that he was going to be a coach and part of a transfer committee he'd probably still be here too.

    This is so very wrong, edin wanted him out after the wembley playoff final and McCall was not backed the way collins/drury and abbo have been backed financially.

    Now back to your happy clapping brisbane.

    true he may have wanted him out. why? because he wouldn't buy into the new way the club wanted to work. you say he wasn't backed - but money was spent. the question whether it was spent on the right players is another question.

    why should he back mccall if mccall didn't back him and the club. mccall isn't blameless in what happened last season, that squad was more than good enough to challenge.

    not happy clapping pal but not writing the season off after 270mins and 15days.

    At least you openly acknowledge the current management team are being backed financially despite many on here saying the complete opposite.

    Get with the program Keefly, its the "current coaching team" at the moment, edin got no truck with any "manager" now!

    You have been doing a sterling job on here the last 2 days Keefly, very entertaining.Lets see if the guys can repay your faith in the coming games.
    Alot to improve on but you have got to start somewhere.

    Unfortunately the increased playing budget has resulted in a ten bob coaching set up.

    The point is that it isn’t simply the last three games, four if you count Macc in the cup. It’s everything that seems to be going on at the club.

    Many believe that Collins only has the job because no other bugger wanted it. He hardly had a great season with the U18’s last year. He didn’t apply for the job. A significant proportion of fans thought his appointment would end in tears.

    Collins appears to me to be a rabbit in the headlights, trotting out cliches and unable to influence his players.

    The same mistakes seem to be being made match after match.

    The poor run from the start of the year isn’t showing any signs of stopping.

    If people with football experience like McCall say they’re glad they left, or refused to take the job (Grayson) or walked away after being interviewed, who is wrong, them or Edin?

    The preseason was a shambles. To deny this is impossible.

    Established players, McArdle, Doyle, Meredith etc have left without being adequately replaced. Some have left after a public spat on Twitter.

    Mason left his ‘dream job’ with ostensibly no other position to go to. Many believe him to have been forced out.

    We have a poorly balanced squad lacking in depth and quality.

    Whatever has or hasn’t allegedly happened with Robinson.

    Whoever is advising Edin on German based players is clueless. Not one player has arrived that it League One standard.

    I don’t think it’s the last three games that have fans worried, it’s the last 12-18 months that’s a worry. The positivity, the togetherness of the Parky era and McCall’s first season are gone. This is Edin’s club, his people, his squad, his culture. Almost everything Football related seems to have gone badly awry in 18 months. There doesn’t seem to be any body at the club who can stop the rot. I hope I’m wrong, but this malaise runs far far deeper than a three game losing run, few can have much confidence that there is the knowledge or experience within the club to drag us out of this.

    Ask yourself why parky wouldn't do it mccall tried but Rahic wanted him out despite reaching Wembley and then other managers with more knowledge wouldn't take the job because of the interference so we ended up with Collins not because it was the right choice but because no one was foolish enough to take it under the circumstances. I don't care how anyone wants to dress it up we are a club at present in turmoil.

    With you Mike but the Robinson inclusion seems irrelevant and unnecessary.

    Fair enough, my point in including it was that it’s an indication of how things aren’t going well at the moment. Perhaps wholly unrelated to the club, perhaps at least in a tiny part indicative of a possible lack of discipline at the club. Either way, it can’t be doing much to raise morale amongst players and staff and will be a distraction whilst senior staff discuss it with Tyrell, his agent and solicitors.

    Some very good points in there, but you can't lump whatever has happened with Robinson in there. If what's being said is true he's been a very silly boy and it's totally outside the influence of anyone at the club. It's not as if he's been arrested for drink driving.
