Irvine Stays On In S6 - For Now

dreaded vote of confidence BYE BYE AI

Chris Hughton, Martin O'Neill and Roy Hodgson are all available.

Person I reckon

number 1 is roland nilsson

I mean in a months time end of month even for us supporters may be a little ambitious.

here you go MILAN- reliable taxi-2393939

Sherridan, Hirst Palmer And Waddle What a management team and not a coaching badge in sight Imagine what they would get out of this squad !!!!!!

If MM is backing Irvine for now then the least we can all do is get behind the club (if not the manager) so that we are all doing what we can do help. You don't have to be a detective to realise that behind the scenes MM is seriously looking for his own man to manage the club but until that day comes we must continue to support what's in front of us. Pearson and Nilsson would require compensation and not sure that's necessary because Hughton sounds like a good bet from what I've read?!

FVCK OFF IRVINE!

I have to admit that I've been back and forth on the subject. On the one hand I fear that Wednesday will be perceived as unmanageable if we sack another boss and take in the view about having patience and playing the long game. Give him time and he'll get there in the end. As Sivadam put Ferie did. After all the club has hardly been a shining example of stability over the last 12 months, perhaps we should wait and see? Then again AI has been in the job for a year and his record is hardly sparkling. Yes last season they were BL's players that Irvine had to work with so that excuse does hold water. That's not the case this season though. From the outset it has been an almost wholy brand new squad, no money spent before January but a wage budget that would cripple most clubs in the division (and almost did us: thank you MM). Since January two high earners/debatable performers have left and the money raised has helped bring in 4 new players so far (MM has also stumped up some cash). These players look promising but haven't had time to bed in yet. Still performances haven't improved and two games (Exeter & Orient) were unforgiveable. But we are in the 4th round of the cup with an excellent chance of progressing to the 5th. But even when we win I don't see any real style in our play, I don't look forward to games, our football doesn't feed my soul. Will any of the current team linger in the memory alongside the names of old? It would be unfair to contrast and compare them with the glorious team of the early 90's but how about the last team that got us out of the Third Division that day in Cardiff? Of course there had been a great deal of work just to get to Cardiff, our finest spell coming with the strike partnership of Kenwynne Jones and Steve Maclean. After Kenwynne left we were never quite the same and struggled into the playoffs from a once commanding position. Then again in the play-offs we were great against Brentford and after giving me a heart attack against Hartelepool I also have some of the most joyous memories from the same game; JP scoring and celebrating, Bullen just taking in the occasion, Macca showing real guts to walk on the field for the first time since breaking his leg and scoring that penalty with virtually his first touch, Drew scoring a goal that reminded me of David Hirst. That's what the current side have to measure up to. Are they doing it? Not so far. Can they turn things around? I would like to think so BUT it all seems so familiar at the moment. Irvine sounds just as lost as both BL and KPS when they each lost the plot and turned on the players. Can he turn it around? At the moment I don't think so. Prove me wrong Mr Irvine. Who would come in? Well if it goes that far just remember that SWFC is a much different proposition than it was in the past. Now our club not only has massive potential as a sleeping giant but is free of debt with an ambitious chairman who seeks to propel the club forward in order to maximise his investment. I don't think there will be a lack of applicants should a vacancy appear. It's up to MM as to who he wants and how he wishes to propel the club forward. UTO!

I say get rid of him now, he's had time,he took us down, now 12th in poor division, sorry but in my mind we don't have a manager at this present time, i'm not one to boo at any game and never have done, i'll support the team as i always do every home game and some away, but don't ask me to support him.

I think that as a fan all we can do is get behind the manager and the team. They're struggling at the moment and we're supposed to be there to support them. It's the only way we can help to turn things around. Like others have said, results are not good at the moment and the style of play has been pretty hard to watch, but there's no magic wand that will suddenly make us invincible and steamroll this division, and I think that any manager coming in at the moment will be stuck with a huge level of expectation. Attracting a decent manager to this club will not be hard at the moment but what happens when he starts losing games or performances aren't great? Mandaric is a dream come true and we need to believe in him and his dream for this club. While he backs AI, so will I, and I'll back the next manager he brings in, through thick and thin, untill Mandaric says otherwise. It was a long and hard road from the Premiership to where we are today and it will be exactly the same trying to find our way back.
