Seen people moaning about the timing of Milne's statement this morning.
But if the club had stayed silent, would that have appeased you?
I don't agree with what he said, I think Mick has to go and he won't turn it around now.
But Milne had to come out with something today. Either back him or sack him.
If Evans truly wants McCarthy to stay, he has to step up the transfer hunt now.
A decent signing is the only thing that could lift the fans right now.
But that means digging a bit deeper in the pocket.
My fear is they won't pay any more, they won't sack Mick and we'll be in limbo until the summer at least.
The only crumb of comfort I have at the moment is there is a decent nucleus of youngsters coming through.
They are raw and not ready yet but it gives us hope. |  | | |  |

It's not his statement, it's the death of hope that the axe might be swung. As several of us said before the game it was never going to be the deciding game whatever the score but people still hoped it would be. |  |

Sometimes it's best just to say nothing. Not sure why he thought this would get the fans that have turned back on his side as it were, is he going to put out such statements after every poor loss now? |  |

To be fair it made a refreshing change from one of our squad saying how all the players are disappointed and they can't wait to get out for the next game and try to put it right. AKA the usual b0lll0cks . | |

Footballer's interviews in general are a load of cr@p. If you win it's "yeah, good to get a goal, points more important, take this into the next game, thanks to the fans" and if you lose it's "disappointed not to come away with anything, we go again, try our best to win the next game". No personality in any of them.
Still, not sure there was a need for Milne to come out with any statement. Unless he was answering a question out to him, in which case that's different, but I don't get the impression that that was the case. | |

I'm still so deflated over yesterday. I honestly dreamt about it.
I knew they wouldn't sack MM but I'd be lying if I said I didn't go to sleep with a shred of hope that I'd awake to hear he was gone.
So deflated. |  | | |

It was a text message as well. Not much of a 'statement' in itself is it? |  |

Exactly. Evans is the one making the decisions & even he knows that an owner should back a manger fully - in public at least - until you pull the trigger. If you don't, he's completely undermined & loses what little authority he has left. |  |

I honestly thought Mick would have the decency and integrity to resign, after such a public humiliation. The only acceptable reason for not doing so that I can think of, is that there's no one obviously suitable to step in immediately, and he thought it would be more damaging to the club to have no-one in (considering that TC would never stab Mick in the back by greeing to do a caretaker job). |  |

Said it last night..the only money I want to see us spending now is the money to pay McCarthy off. |  | | |

Given TC's disastrous tenure at Wolves, him as caretaker is absolutely the last thing we need. | |

I knew MM wouldn't resign. He's obviously deluded. He thinks he's done nothing wrong - because if he did - he'd surely change his ways, wouldn't he? I can't imagine his market value is very good now so for the time being he will continue to make the easiest paycheck he's ever had. For another club to bring him on after this tenure they would have to be desperate. Which brings us to spending the £1M or so "transfer budget" on sacking him...
..well, if we aren't spending it on anything else, why not? We aren't doing anything constructive with it anyways. | | | |

Some of the things he says in there basically point to him having to be sacked... Lincoln were more organised... I mean |  |

Seriously? The only more ridiculous thing than you thinking he would resign is that he didn't do it because he didn't want to damage the club! You can tell by his interviews he actually thinks he's doing a good job overall and we're all overreacting. There's no chance he will ever resign. He's just not the type. | |

Disagree.
I think he has turned the fans even more against the club.
Anyone with half a brain in their head now can see it won't ever work with Mick, so he has to go.
A lot of us were hoping to hear the news today that he was gone, instead we got the opposite!!
Its just so disappointing, he is worse than Duncan. |  |

Are you saying TC stabbed Mick in the back at Wolves? |  |

Ryorry, you are joking?
If in your job you were working to a tiny budget, with a huge list of sick staff and yet still managed to get results would you resign?
Do not be so stupid, you would not resign, nobody would.
It is time some of you realised the rubbish you post and consider all the facts.
I too am not happy with the standard of football but I certainly do not have the money to bail the club out and lose millions year on year. |  | | |

Just my personal opinion but i would keep Mick. I genuinely don't think any other manager at this level could do a better job. The display last night was a disgrace, but I see the bigger picture, he's had next to no money to spend while consistently losing our best players, Mings, Cresswell, Murphy, etc |  | | |

Another manager might -
* Play football rather than asking all his team to kick it long
* NOT sign VERY average squad players, only to release them a few months later
* NOT play the likes of Best, Douglas, Knudsen, etc when they are clearly not good enough
* play players in their strongest positions
* change tactics mid game when things aren't working rather than stubbornly carrying on
You would honestly keep Mick?!?! | |

Has Lincoln had loads to spend though?
The quality they produced over two legs was obviously far better than anything we struggled to do. Who's head does that lay on? | | | |

I would keep Mick - I'm allowed that opinion, I respect others. If Mick had spent loads of money fair enough, but he hasn't | | | |

You have completely misunderstood, I didn't say anything like that at all! What I *actually* said was

I would 100% most certainly have resigned, yes.
Perhaps best not to judge others by yourself in future. | |
