Will the club stick by him or buckle under the fan pressure? It seems most people are already against him.

Blackwell and Wilson were given the boot for a lot less.

We've never sacked a manager after so short a time period. Whilst I personally would only give him another month to improve, I reckon the Board will give him until Xmas. If we are still struggling against relegation then, I think the axe will fall.
 
No, However when we have lost the next three to Preston, Wolves and Crawley he probably will be.
 
Totally agree with you that he will be given more time and money for loan players.
We will find the board will not want to pay up his contract for 3 years, unless there is some clause in the agreement that relates it to performance.

They weren't. They had both had a lot of time to build the squad they wanted. Both the timings were off with Blackwell's and Wilson's dismissals.

Blackwell should've gone if we had played the amount of games that Weir has played and accumulated the same amount of points because that would've been a massive failure.

Wilson should've been given until the end of the season.

Weir, if sacked now is extremely hasty. But to suggest Blackwell & Wilson were sacked for less is incorrect.
 
Would be absolutely ridiculous even by our recent standards.

He has to be given time and in the meantime we should be pulling our arse cheeks in and getting behind him and the team.

Pushed - he was on Kammy's sunday AM football show at the start of the season and stated that he couldn't talk about the situation at SUFC as he still had not agreed his severence package.
 
seriously hope not. To sack him just before he can bring in players on loan would be a very odd time to do it plus you'd miss out on the better players as you would think other team would also be waiting to sign them till January.

He still hasn't.
 



All depends on the approach to hiring and firing of the new chap who owns 50% of the club...

I do think he'll be given more time though. And I reckon we'll potentially win on Saturday anyway.
 
I think he will be sacked.

I think if he is going to stay he needs help and needs to be brave. Time to shake this team up

Out of interest and the fact game by game we are getting worse and Preston are unbeaten, can you explain how you're predicting a win?
 
The following factors really:
1) Brandy is back and he gives us a very different dimension
2) I think we'll sign a striker come Saturday
3) I genuinely don't think our team is all that bad
4) Weir (and the team by association) know that they're in lastchanceville and something has to change
5) Good old gut instinct
 
In answer to the OP, very unlikely. It would be extreme knee-jerk even by McCabe standards. If things haven't improved by late November, then the finger might be hovering over the eject button IMO. But this is the Blades, so anything could and probably will happen.

And as I said somewhere in a pre season thread,

surely one day hope will prevail over expectation ;-)

He won't and shouldn't be sacked on Saturday, we have got to at least give him to the end of October, for some semblance of a fair crack of the whip, if he still looks totally lost then, then I think we have to do it.

I know a lot of people have said this, but for me he needs to be more flexible in his approach. 4-2-3-1 is simply not working with this limited group of players, and specifically the limited forwards we have.

1 up front may work if we had a player up front like Ched who is decent on the ball, but also is a natural goalscorer at this level. But it doesn't work with any single one of Taylor, Porter or Ironside, because they are all too limited in various ways.

Assuming Miller isn't really ready yet, I'd give Taylor and Porter a try up front, more to see if we have anything in Lyle Taylor and whether he would work and find more opportunities alongside a target man type in Porter.

It seems ridiculously obvious to me to at least try this approach, but Weir hasn't budged once in this appalling run, and that's what frustrates the most.

I'd go:
Long
McMahon(reluctantly), Maguire, Collins, Hill
Brandy, Doyle(reluctantly), Baxter, Cuvelier
Taylor, Porter

Why the end of October?
He clearly isnt learning anything about the squad.
He said all the top teams play 4-2-3-1 NEWS FLASH we are no where near being a top team.
We need as I said yesterday 2 wingbacks, a ball playing midfielder and a striker before this formation has any chance of working. If he doesnt see this then he has to go. I would give him till after the Crawley game and if performances have not improved then he has to go. We are not creating enough and conceeding too many goals as we are.
 
Id sack him if we lose the next 3 definitely, hes shown absolutely nothing as far as Im concerned. We're playing football thats as bad if not worse than under Robson and hes just said in an interview about Marlon King that he thinks Taylor will go on to be an important player for us. Which sounds to me like he hasn't got a clue, either that or hes just trying to cover himself as hes one of his signings.

How can he say that and expect anyone to believe it?
He's already stated that he'll never play more than one up front, FFS
 
Time will tell but i think he will get sacked somepoint
 
With the signing of King. The pressure really is on now to deliver.
 



Just think about this for a moment. if we sack him, who will we replace him with? As no one wanted the job in the Summer. Although, I guess if potential managers see we have some money to spend they may be more inclined?? Anyway I would give him longer, how much longer I am not sure
