| Quote ="Ferocious Aardvark"Gosh, super. Thank you for sharing that.
It was the combination of you replying to Adey, with a quote of what he had written, plus the words you used in your question, clinched by the"?" at the end, which misled me into believing you were using a popular device called a "question", directed at the person you addressed it to.
I now see how wrong I was. I apologise for having forced you to, entirely understandably, roll your eyes and (though you do not say so) doubtless to 'Tut' loudly.
Now is too soon, when the pain of misunderstanding is clearly so raw, but I can only hope and pray that, one day, you can find it in your heart to forgive my having jumped to this obviously unreachable conclusion.
 '" No doubt you will try to blame me now for thread drift? Seriously, and for the avoidance of any doubt, i will be quite clear. Why dont you just shut up? |

I no longer feel McNamara is up to the job and we need a change at head coach. We should look for a replacement and he should be appointed asap. That replacement should be carefully selected though, if getting the right bloke means waiting till the end of this season then so be it. This season is pretty much over as far as us having any chance of being in the mix for trophies is concerned (though we never really were at the races IMO).
However, we shouldn't be waiting too long Next season is crucial, we must turn the corner and have optimism return to the club before then or dwindling attendances and lower season ticket sales will mean the clubs immediate future would be in jeopardy.
It's all very well to cite a lack of money as the reason we can't change the coach but I don't think any of us have any real hard information on that front. What I do know is if the current decline continues then we certainly will not have any money for anything at all before long, unless we've reached the point of no return already. If that's the case then I really don't fancy watching this car crash unfold any further.'"
Wow. Didn't think I would see you type that. But as a consequence & in support of Macca one of my aliases has just voted option 1. |

Me neither. But since I don't, or a fraction of that, its not that that is concerning me. Its the unbelievable burden of debt this government has landed us with, and how are we EVER to repay it? Write this down someplace and bring it out in a year or so: massive job cuts in the public sector, and large tax increases on the man in the street - whoever is in power. He's bet the country on a return to boom big-time in 2011, something no commentator I've seen expects to remotely happen. If that does NOT happen, then watch for what I just said becoming inevitable.
Sorry...back to topic now...
Yes, I blame Macca for the crazy budget deficit - he clearly has to go... |

Spot on.
The worst thing that could be done is decide at the end of the season, as suggested by one of the poll options, which would mean a new man being brought in too late to have had much input on contract renewals and signings for next season.
I think I posted before the season started that McNamara had to start showing some good signs that he is the man for the job and, a quarter of the way in, he is failing to do so. |
