I doubt it will come to that and it would be a disaster, but why do people think constantly changing management will work? His CV is second to none and given time he will bring success.
The impatience and irrational thinking after every defeat is ridiculous.
You obviously havent read his CV
Yes I have and his win percentage is impressive over a prolonged period of time with every club he has managed. He also has promotions to his name at several levels, not to mention being successful on limited budgets.
So you advise me who you would prefer as a realistic alternative with a better record? Would you be willing to give anyone more than ten minutes once things weren't going well?
You only seem to post critical / negative comments or reply on posts that are negative. Granted, it's not unique on here but the lack of balance is noticeable.
I post about what I see as being facts , at this present time , Mr Clough's overall win rate is just over 36% during his long career..fact , but his past record is of no consequence at this moment in time. The "Here and Now" is what is important. There was nothing negative in my last post I actually said I hoped he would succeed and I'm not asking for a new manager! ,you clearly do not understand cognitive reasoning. I have been supporting the Stags for over 50 years and have seen many different Managers come and go , some good , some bad , some downright hopeless I sincerely hope Mr Clough turns out to be one of the better ones and eventually takes us into a higher division but currently I don't think many people are seeing positives and I was amazed at his post match interview that he said he thought we played ok against Barrow and deserved a 0-0 draw...did you watch the game?
A past record of 36% is decent enough given the budgets he had at the clubs managed and the amount of years in management.
11 wins out of 25 since he came to the Stags, who were 22nd without a league win before that indicates the 'Here and Now' to be OK in my eyes and begs the question, what is the problem and what do you realistically want or expect?
To answer your question, I watched Saturdays game, tonights game and every other game this season. The above is good enough for me and the vast majority but some obviously have bigger expectations.
