If we miss the playoffs... : Mon Jul 20, 2009 9:11 am  

McDermott should walk IMO.

Thoughts?

Alternatively........if we get in the play-off`s, should Dave Lister walk??

Why not arrange a pole DL and see what the majority of posters think on these two questions

Im gaining optimism from the fact the injury/absence situation can only get better. Howell one more game, Cougar back next week, Dorn due back, ditto Purdo. Orr, Hecks, Chad????

If we do make the 8 and get all our players back you would hope that they would be fresh and ready to go.

This time last year not many would have picked Leeds to win the GF. Im not suggesting we will but Im hoping we have a good shot at it.

All fair enough, but is that a yes or a no?

Come on DL.....no bodyswerve.....arrange a pole for the posters, something along the lines of all things considered, how the team and BM are performing, perceived progress or lack of etc etc

1. Should BM walk?

2. Should Dave Lister walk?

You can't do poles (sic) on here. Still swerving the initial question and your only reaction is a personal attack on me? I see. Typical BM apologist then who doesn't like the truth.

What on McDermott being given the push?

I think you have to take a number of factors into account such as-

Final position- vital
Injuries during the season
His standing in the club ie players and management
Future player development
Can he take the club further- strategy, ideas etc maybe through an interview with the board
The clubs owners aspirations- see the line above- do they dovetail
Club philosophy ie do we want a young English coach
His signings performances against what we let go- Mclinden etc

It's easy to have a go when you are down on your luck- No one was calling for his head when we put 60 past the Wire on what was a fantastic day

So in response to your question Im not in a position to answer.

So you would be happy with a coach that hasn't led us to the playoffs in 3 seasons? I can understand your points but as you say league position is vital, for the future of the club if nothing else. A constantly failing side isn't going to get anywhere.

Could the mods do a poll on this please?
