Bit of empathy for KM 17:53 - Aug 25 with 2906 views | jasondozzell | High pressure job. Handsomely rewarded but it must be so demanding. No real time off in summer. No control over the vagaries of the transfer market. Having to integrate new players and build a new side under pressure from the off. Expectations sky high. Probably at their highest since he joined the club. He knows the deal but blimey it must be demanding. All that and a young family. I am absolutely convinced he will continue to do an excellent job and get us back up. Get behind him and support him. |  | | |  |
Bit of empathy for KM on 06:37 - Aug 26 with 491 views | PioneerBlue | KMcK is still a young coach and relatively inexperienced across many scenarios albeit he has experienced a lot in a short time but not the turnaround of a long series of bad results. Stick to the process and one game at a time mantra has typically led to improvement of results but there is misplaced frustration and focus on KMck at this time. That’s ok because he’s the manager and has to get the team to play and win. Fans seem to be hurting about being relegated and not winning much when most of us have moved on and recognised that for what it was, time for that out pouring was in May, Fans are now hurting because the transfer window hasn’t gone as they expected, Fans are now hurting because we have started the season a little slower than they expected. I come with news. The same time, effort, focus on detail it required to stop the ball rolling down the hill in League One is now required from everyone including supporters given the ball has been rolling down hill quite fast recently. The club has helped by stripping out some players that might be detractors to that and help us go forward faster, this transfer window remains unfinished with a little squad depth to reestablish. I note given this was a OP about empathy, there is quite a lot about big boys and their expectations, time to face reality. Expectations are not the same as reality and they are unfortunately a bit misaligned. Try to enjoy the season. |  |

Bit of empathy for KM on 21:49 - Aug 25 by textbackup | You’ve forget the following - listen, I’ve got even more grey hairs - listen, I will not rest until I get this special football club where it should be - listen, I might sit down with a large drink tonight - listen… Side note, I fcking hate when anyway starts a sentence ‘listen’ like from a young age I wasn’t taught to respect when someone starts speaking to listen to their view point or instruction. I don’t need telling to LISTEN, you are speaking, I am listening. |
Is '"listen" the new "look"? That one used to grate on me. I always thought that was a bit of an Aussie trope. |  |

Bit of empathy for KM on 12:20 - Aug 26 with 282 views | EricsGate | Sorry but little sympathy from me to anyone at the club at present…. Players who earned McK and no doubt Ashton their increased salaries shouldn’t have been let go! Broadhead for one, still under contract and should have been rewarded with a new deal Morsy - should have kept until January and brought in someone to learn off him Lack of leadership on and off the field As for Baby Spice on the right wing on Saturday, words fail me |  |

Broady wanted to go. It doesn't sound like he would have signed a new contract. I was devastated to see him go but not sure there's much KM could do. Look at his comments on it. Sammy is a tricky one. Again it's not simple. I would have kept him but who knows how easy that was or if it would not be in the club's future interests. Jack Clarke is a good player but he's lacking confidence and has been for some time. |  | |  |
