Those wanting to bash the Chairman, only need look as far as Bradford to see what having no money man in charge would put us.
Yes he signed Simmons, but he also signed Anderson.
Yes we lost today, but we will also be playing on Monday Garuanteed.
Chairmen are there to run the club, coaches are there to win games, players to play to the coaches plan.
Whilst BigMac may take some impact for Simmons, you have to balance it out overall with the running of the club. If we are lying in the bottom half of the league for a few years then sure a change at the top would be something you could expect from fans. But at the moment we are in the top 8 and I think we'll still be top 4 come season end. That would be no case to call for replacing the chairman. ps who would replace him???
No one disputes that McManus deserves all the credit in the world for managing the transition to the new stadium. But based purely on his dealings in recruitment his grade is modest to say the least. There have been some monumental mistakes made over the last five years. Our backs are a shadow of those going back twenty to thirty years. Gardner, Meli and even Shenton will not be remembered as players of distinction in the future.
