He’s got off very lightly. Typical of the clappers.

Get over it mate... He's going nowhere... Sacking every manager at the first sign of adversity has got us rooted firmly to league-one

I agree set him a target but 100 points?
People will remember that and it will be used against him if we don’t get off to a flier

Are you suggesting that had we kept, Coleman, Grayson, Moyes we would be in a better position than we are now?

Some fans really don’t listen, the owners have said it was a 2 year project to get out of this division, he’s not getting sacked no matter how much whinging you do
Well if you can’t work it out then stop watching football

Then its up to him to make sure that is the case, after all he will have resources at his disposal that not many managers in this league will have, after all his job is to get this club back into the championship, so this time next year we are waiting for the fixture list for that division, not the one we are currently in, so there has to be targets set which he has to attain if he wishes to continue to manage this club.

It's the manager's fault he's here in the first place.

So you’re honestly telling me that , team selection and tactics had nothing to do with our poor end to the season, our form had been sh!t for weeks prior, who carries the can for this?

Defensive mistakes cost us in most of the games we lost

No it hasn't.
Jack Ross failing to get us promoted has got us rooted in League One.

Many said similar to this when we were in the premier league, so in that regard nothing has changed on that score, however saying that we do have better representation these days, thanks to Ghandi Floss and Co.

60 plus games and still no firm game plan, no tactical skills and does not know his best team. Apparently he is a nice fella though. Stealing a living. Prove me wrong next season Mr Ross.

If only someone was responsible for coaching them and making them better players.
That’s absolute bollocks. It’s become like a meme on here, ffs. Actually, sacking managers has saved us from the drop many times.
Bit lengthy this, but anyhoo...
Recruiting incompetent managers is what got us in league one. Every single one of our recent-ish managers, barring perhaps Poyet, has either been rightfully sacked, or left of their own accord. The only manager who looked like he might be taking us places was Allardyce. We didn’t sack him, he left. That is when things really started to go pear shaped for SAFC.
Moyes was a disgrace, nothing redeeming about his tenure, but no - despite taking us down after an utterly humiliating season, after a very decent run in the PL, we should’ve kept him ‘cos sacking managers is bad’.
Then we had Grayson. Disastrous appointment who looked like he could well be taking us down as we struggled and flapped about, no work ethic instilled in the players, showing zero signs of any shoots of recovery. We threw the dice and sacked him in the hope a new manager might save us. Despite looking out of his depth, apparently we should’ve kept him ‘cos sacking managers is bad’.
Along comes Coleman. Again, fails to motivate the team and, for only the second time in our history, we drop to the third division. Despite that, we should’ve kept him ‘cos sacking managers is bad’.
Now we have Ross. Now, it’s debatable whether he’s going to prove himself next season, I don’t know either way, but I doubt it. What I do know and what isn’t up for debate is that it isn’t sacking managers that has got us where we are, it’s the dismal appointments we’ve made. If we had good managers, they’d still be in a job. Why is this so hard for people to grasp?
All a manager has to do for now is show that they can move the club forward and learn from their mistakes from game to game. If they don’t do that, it’s just plain madness to keep them.

First sign? 60 odds games and we got worse as the season went on playing mundane and negative football. If we’d sacked Moyes sooner we may still have been a premier league team.
Absolutely superb analysis.

Absolutely this! ‘First sign of adversity’! It beggars belief!
Cheers for the compliment. I could’ve gone into much more depth, but tbh it just falls on deaf ears. They’ve convinced themselves it’s sacking managers that’s the problem.
