Tim Davis is the same place now that he was when MA was under pressure, nowhere to be seen, leaving the manager isolated.
As ever we get silence from the people who run the club, CL is their man, do they not want to be associated with him for fear of taking some of the blame for the steady decline?
As someone said in another thread, I think we are now 50/50 for relegation.
If the board believe there is a better manager out there who they could persuade to take the job then CL should go, but only if there is someone they feel would be better. Sacking CL at this point as a punishment would be the wrong way to go.
Great post Bobby, I want CL out now as he really feel he has lost the plot and the dressing room and I fear that 2 or 3 panic buys in January could really fecks us up, we need loans in now, who or what sort of player is going to want to sign on a permanent basis for a club and manager that is teetering on the brink.
As you point out, where the feck is the supposed Board of Director's most of which are meant to be supporters, I know these are the people who appointed Levein, and too be far based on what he had achieved at Hearts and his philosphy on the game, it was a decision I can accept was made, however it is clearly obvious that it hasnt worked out, what the reasons are for that could be a number of issues, most or some we may never know, but now surely is the time to say enough is enough and have the balls to admit that their appointment, however imaginative and ambitious it appeared at the time, isnt working.
We can ill afford the likes of TD taking the John Elsom approach, as he did with Taylor, the writing was on the wall after that horrific end of season run following the cup exit to Wycombe, but out of blind loyalty, stupidity and stubborness the man was allowed to not only keep his job, but he was also given more funds to squander, then end result we all know too well. Whilst Levein is certainly no Taylor, the situation is very similar, it is clearly obvious he is struggling to come to terms with the tactical side of the english game, so do we really afford him the opportunity to squander money on more players not suited to the championship.
One last thing, TD if you ever read this forum, when Levein does go, please, please, please include Martin George in any discussions about successors, the guy appointed 3 very good up and coming managers from the lower divisions in his time as chairman, please use his expertise.
