| Quote Bullseye="Bullseye"Well this poll didn't really have the option I would go for.
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.'" Absolutly agree with all of that.

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.

Is this poll legally binding then? Are the board going to act on the results?
I had better get voting then.

There is, of course, always the chance that some of the people who have given up posting (much) on here - you'd need to ask them why - nevertheless still voted. I used to. The OP only asked anyway for comments from those who selected option 5. It seems to me quite likely that the most passionate views are held by the proponents of change, the vocal ones who post on here.

Is it to do with the fact they can longer think up any defence of our current coach's failings.

| Having arrived back in the UK after spending nearly a year in China(not the easiest of places to keep up to date with Rugby)I just can't understand how McNamara is still in a job.

May well be.
Then again, it may be that they got fed up with the way everything got hijacked by the NT - at least that's what a few have told me is the reason.
And again, maybe its because they just think the debate and discussion on here is a load of crap anyway - one guy I know, who feels strongly that Macca HAS to go so he's an NT with bar, told me on Friday night that's why HE does not post.
Or maybe its cos some spell-checking and grammar-checking pedants jump on anyone whose communication skills are far stronger orally that in trying to type? One guy I know told me that was one main reason (he's in the PT).
Or maybe its because they are like so many in life, content to let others put their heads above the parapet.
Or maybe even because some of them have a life...!

Maybe because they simply think that Option 1, which states:
Quote mystic eddie
[iDoing the best with the resources at his disposal[/i'"
... is a self-contained, open-and-shut option, which says all it needs to, and doesn't actually require a "Why"?

Maybe the problem is more that they have not voted the way those with an agenda expected them to vote? After all, we haven't seen anything like all the 55 (so far, assuming no multiple aliases) who voted options 2-4 giving their reasons either. Isn't that odd, given that you'd expect those who want to change something would make far more noise than those who do not?
Never mind though, its like the EU and Ireland over the EU Constitution - sorry Lisbon Treaty, silly me - if the voters do not come up with the required answer, just keep making them vote again till they do?

| I was torn between 2 & three, but I went for look for another quality replacement. I don't mean as in publicly or anything, I just mean that if the right coach becomes available we should take a gamble.
