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.

I'm sure more crowds would come to see the loving being shared, will you be wearing masks and would you confirm the "saftey word" before you start

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.

It gets curiouser and curiouser. 24 people now have picked option 1 and STILL no-one has said why? I find that very odd TBH.

Could they be opposition fans who have an interest in us keeping our coach and so prolonging our current predicament??

So they might be voting out of mischeif but have no real interest in saying why on here?

I did consider that possibility earlier!

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