For how long will the fan boys continue to give him a free pass because he once played for us? Something has got to change.
Are they any fan boys?
The only ones desperate not to get rid is because of the financial elements from what I can see. They largely are willing him to do well because the alternative of relegation is not something they want to contemplate and there board already have no cash flow, never mind trying to get a new manager in with no cash.
I think MKDarlo has a point, there are definitely people who are happy to see Wright remain in charge, regardless of results. You can tell by the comments on here they think underperforming on the pitch is a price worth paying for a manager who does as he's told when it comes to finances.
I mean in your reply, you've just said the alternative to sacking Wright is relegation and financial armageddon. This is where accusations of fan-boyism come from.
As for finances, we've already cut the budget because fans aren't turning up. And why aren't they turning up? A significant part of that is there's nothing for us to play for on the pitch. And when they do turn up, there's 60% chance they'll see ineptitude from us. On a full price, attendances are down to 1200. We can't get above 1500 with a special offer.
So the argument about Wright being good for our finances doesn't stack up. He's playing a part in damaging our financial prospects, through the team's inconsistency on the pitch and his not getting the best out of a competitive budget.
The more I think about, the I actually see no reason whatsoever to keep him in the summer.
