Wednesday-Wonderland Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just don't know how there can't be. He should've gone in December, and then how he's survived Exeter, Leyton Orient, Yeovil, and last night I'll never know. By definition we're now in a relegation battle by virtue of being closer to going down than to going up. I feel we're still in the stage where a bad word can't be said against MM without a storm of abuse and -1's coming your way but it's been obvious for months that Irvine isn't the right man for the long term vision of this football club. I feel like he's been kept on way longer than he should've to the detriment of our league position because MM is either trying to shake the 'trigger happy chairman' image and/or Wilko's LMA involvement. No I'm not having a go at MM I'm just thinking out loud, so put your swords away white knights. I have 100% trust in the man and love him for saving us but I cannot see a single reason why Irvine is still in the job (unless MM's preferred replacement is currently otherwise engaged?). Is this a 'the night is always darkest before the dawn' moment? Or are we just destined to be crap forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If MM'spreferred choice of manager is still otherwise engaged, weren'te McAuley's results, with a far worse squad than we have now, much better than the results with AI?

arithmetic Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Exeter, Leyton Orient, Yeovil He didn't sack him after those three humiliations, so I doubt he'll sack him after a game where, until the red card, we were apparently playing well against a team looking for promotion. As disappointing as last night was, it's nothing like the same scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday-Wonderland Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Judging from the views vs posts ratio of this topic I think some people thought I was saying I had info relating to an OS announcement that was going to happen today. I don't. I was just asking you all whether you believe he'll go this morning. I genuinely expected him to be gone when I woke up this morning. Same mate. He didn't sack him after those three humiliations, so I doubt he'll sack him after a game where, until the red card, we were apparently playing well against a team looking for promotion. As disappointing as last night was, it's nothing like the same scale. The only crumb of hope I've got left is that MM has a long term plan and is willing to take this short term damage to see it properly set in motion.

bolly1988 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It's been said before about are these Irvine's signing's or Milans signing's. Milan came out saying we want 3 more loans. Has he got someone in the back ready to come in and Milan has negotiated with this person which players he wants. Just a thought with what's going on.

Marjorie Van Allen Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Its too late to make a change now.AI will be given the rest of the season and if he doesnt turn the ship around then he will most likely go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 ive kinda accepted he is here for the remainder of the season, or at least wont be sacked anytime soon I fully expected an announcement after the Orient game and im sick of F5'ing in anticipation of it in the games since Its got to the point that even outsiders and neutrals are wondering why he hasnt gone The only slight glimmer of hope i can take, is that if Howard was influencing Milans decision in any way hes obviously now gone and it will just be a matter of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we get dragged into a relegation scrap, that's how I imagine it will play out. oh joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Its too late to make a change now.AI will be given the rest of the season and if he doesnt turn the ship around then he will most likely go. If Irvine is given the rest of the season we'll be in League2 next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 This honestly stopped me from getting a proper nights sleep. I kept waking up from about 6am onwards to check if he had gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northeastowl Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 When they scored there 4th last night two guys behind me started saying "oh well at least he will get sacked in the morning now" and so on! Turned around and said I wouldn't be so sure, I've just got that feeling he's here for the long run. I honestly don't know what's keeping him in the job though.
