Nice as it would be to give a coach the luxury of time to build his team, the clock is ticking with regard to a franchise and with no signs on the stadium front, the on field perfomances are crucial.
Of course "people's conclusions being formed on supposition, rumour and watching 80 minutes a week", -but it is the 80 minutes a week that is the key. Do you think people have the patience to watch that dross with their hard earned money every week?

This is not a case of panicking or 'throwing the baby out with the bath water', it is the case that he is not the right man for the job and the attitude of 'well it will be fine in the long run' means that there is a fair chance we will be in the National Leagues. And I personally do not think that the club, the area and the economy will support us coming back to ever been a competitive team.
MDean may think this is a hysterical, knee-jerk reaction but I do not want this club to become another Swinton or Oldham or Fev (no dispresect intended). We are being mis-managed off the pitch and if that happens on the pitch also then I really do fear for where will end up.
