I've ticked because that question implies we would have kept him. TAt the time i think it was the right move to part ways (I don't see how he could have carried on given how flat everything went).
But if he hadn't been the manager here when it all went stale, and there was a chance to get him now, I'd bite your hand off. He's a far, far better manager than anyone since.
So another question could be 'Would you like to see the return of Mick?'. Is he 'forgiven' and has there been enough of a gap and enough rubbish since that people would welcome him back? (Purely hypothetical, as I imagine he'd piss himself laughing if the club approached him to come back).

Things needed to change as the atmosphere had gone stale. However, I really don't understand how anyone could answer "no" and thinks things would be worse under MM...
Re-employing Mick would certainly bring about a change in atmosphere...

I think you're wrong about that. Even in the last season we had our own young players finally coming through, and we'd been following a process of signing younger players to develop like Webster and finding undervalued players we could use like Waghorn.
"Loanees and journeymen" were filling gaps, nothing more.
I'll agree that the football was sometimes very poor but when it was good it was pretty good. And certainly no worse than anything that came before or after.
I can understand the frustration and lack of patience after so many years in the Championship with us going the long and cheap way about building a team. But the big mistake was that we then brought in a manager who dismantled the whole foundation and wasted the opportunity totally.

I agree with this, bar the football bit which for me was mostly poor. I have also parroted MMs line about it being first and foremost a results business and he was obviously better at that than his predecessors and successors. He certainly had his strengths.
However, he had his time here. It was over. He also drove me nuts in various ways. The point was not about him leaving, but about his successors. If they’d had a clue along with our esteemed owner, MMs name wouldn’t keep cropping up.
