Because
A: He clearly doesn't take a blind bit of notice about what the fans think, or
what players we wanna see etc
B: Because no decent manager is gonna want to come here and manage
a mediocre squad with the likes of Alistair Slowe
C. It'll take too long for a new manger to make a significant change.
So we may aswell just get behind him and the team for Saturday
If you want a constructive argument about the way the team is performing it goes way beyond Sammo

I always get behind the team - the trouble is getting others to join in!

No self-respecting manager does.

Er, actually there's quite a lot of historical precendent to suggest that changing managers in October/November can reverse a side's fortunes.

You sound like the bloke who sticks with his Mrs who wont go near him and who's ugly because he's too scared that he might end up on his own and have to cook his dinner as well! |

Criticising a manager for 'slagging players off' seems bizarre to me. Ferguson described his keeper's blunder the other week as a primary pupil's error, Clough was always doing it, yet when Sampson criticised Harris after Shrewsbury he actually blamed himself, saying that the guy wasn't quite ready yet. He is quick to praise, something he has often done with Davis this season and with Thornton praises him when he has done well but pointing out that the guy needs to be more consistent. I'm not aware of any manager who does not criticise individual players in public. Yes, in an ideal world these things would stay in-house but we require managers to talk at post-match conferences when they have not had time to chew the fat and their frustrations inevitably come out.

Exactly, you won't catch me making my own dinner. Yorkshire blokes (even pretend ones like me) expect that when they get 'ome, tea is on t' table. And there'll be trouble at t' mill if it 'ent. |

Nice one, Tyler. If the goalkeeping doesn't work it (not that big an "if" really) you can always fall back on being a comedian.  I learn from the best  |

The players are 100 % behind Sammo. The Carling Cup adventure is over. It's league points that matter now.This group of players will show tomorrow how much they want Sammo to stay in charge ! Get your pennies on a win for the Cobblers

The players are 100 % behind Sammo. Hmm. Didn't the Chron say that "Gilligan thinks the players are giving 100%"? There's a bit of a difference there. Sammo's treatment of some of the players this season suggest otherwise: Davis, Wedderburn, Thornton and now Holt. Guinan can be considered in the same camp. Hardly a resounding endorsement. |

It would be great if the performances of the players depended on the amount of passion they have for the club, and even better if they were able to turn it on and off at will.
The sad fact is that it's rather more footballing ability and consistency that counts, and it seems as if some of our lot don't have as much as we first thought.
They can play with as much passion as you like, it will only result in yellow cards and the odd red one, but it's only football skill and tactical nous that will win you games.

Spot on. It's not all about passion and 'giving 100%'. A player can give 100% and run around like a headless chicken making reckless challenges every five minutes. I wouldn't put our poor results to a lack of effort at all. We keep losing because we lack organisation, consistency and guille. What we need is to be more calm, professional and intelligent. Sammo has to start embodying these qualities himself. |

You can add Seb Harris to that list.To throw him into central defence against the best team in the league away from home was naive in the extreme. |
