True and agree but it wasn’t McKenna and he’s totally different to that c**t!! We aren’t getting relegated though. |  |

If you’ve been following Town for 55 years you ought to know better. You can remember periods where results weren’t ideal under every successful manager since 1970, that includes Robson, who the crowd wanted sacked (maybe you were there) and look how that turned out. You’ve also been around when the club as a whole had some proper dark times, which are a very long way away from where we are now as a properly funded, professionally managed club. Patience is thin in most football fans but the perspective gained through 55 years of ups and downs seems to have eluded you. |  | |  |

Can they applaud McKenna all the way to league one ? on 09:46 - Aug 31 with 1926 views | Nutkins_Return | I just don't understand the comment because nobody in their right mind thinks we are going to be relegated. And why would anyone be applauding it in our current context. You are conflating two completely different scenarios to make some sort of obnoxious point. Yo want McKenna sacked? Honestly?!? Our points this season are NOT good enough. Performances are NOT where we want them. But in 3 of the 4 games we have been clearly the better side still and all the stats/data show that. We could quite conceivably be on 9 points on that basis. Football isn't played on paper but my point is this is nothing like before and it's small margins with a new team that will see us quickly move up this league. It's amazing how common sense and rational thinking goes out the window when people get frustrated. [Post edited 31 Aug 10:18]

We aren’t getting anywhere near 96 points either for promotion. Looking at this team we will do well to reach 56 points. |  | |  |

But that doesn't allow the immediately tantrum. Many are not capable of just giving it some time. It's pathetic but it's the new normal for an ever growing number of people. They want everything right now and if they don't get it they go nuclear. |  |

Immediate tantrums are part of it aren’t they? And post game, I guess I’m as frustrated as anyone when things don’t go to plan but It’s the relentless negativity, post after post (from many ) just highlighting their particular negative take, that I find baffling, particularly when they’ve been around for years and have seen the darkest times. |  | |  |

I'm actually getting quite angry with the number of apparently genuine Town fans (there's an awful lot who obviously aren't Town fans chiming in too) who seem to either not understand the patience required for a few weeks as we get the new squad ticking nicely (it's not bloody difficult to understand even if you've never played the game before or understood anything about team dynamics) or who do understand but want to throw their toys around anyway! I do realise that it's on me, the getting angry bit, I guess that's what some of these 'fans' want. Can't fathom why. Maybe I should take a break. |  |

14 months of awful results does that to people mate. It’s not immediate is it ? |  | |  |

I can also remember times when we have held onto managers for far too long, both Keane and Lambert come to mind but there are others, I also remember other times when we have got stuck in the rut of tactics and formations, with nothing changing, McCarthy and fergusson come to mind. So after a whole 9 months of witnessing McKenna going down blind alleys with little or no sign of coming through it despite the millions he's been given to spend on players, I am looking at the bedding in excuses now and thinking , what will they come up with next. Ex-players are saying exactly the same thing, Butcher, Osman , Dozzell all saying similar things, I suppose none of them know anything either? |  | |  |

I hear you mate. Heading that way too. People being less positive than me I can happily cope with. The vitriol and hyperbole is simply wearing me down. I mean, these KM out posts. Just WTAF? |  |

I hate this lazy nonsense. Bobby never banged a single game outside the top division, across Europe, and won trophies everywhere - I can’t even count the. Umber of trophies he won in England, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.., so many. To conflate McKenna to that, because he’s had a great season in the EFL, with players many of which he didn’t even sign, is SO pathetic. They aren’t even doing the same job, that’s the difference in levels…, if McKenna achieved 1% of that, I’d be shocked. It’s so lazy, it’s all about your EGO at that point. Yes to patience, but Bobby was saving us from relegation in the TOP FLIGHT and had one poor season where he DID keep us up .., and he didn’t spend more than any club in the division to do it either. With the resources McKenna had had, a genuinely elite manager like Bobby would easily have us in or around Europe. Please don’t conflate the too.., it’s insulting to both. He deserves some, but not limitless patience.., he acts like he hasn’t spent £200 million and already abandoned last seasons splurge, he agreed terms with Brighton and almost joined palace, and he soent all last summer only trying to secure his own financial future. We pay him a champions league level salary because of it. Bobby never used his success to feather his own best!!! It’s not just in the pitch there are levels between them, loyalty and integrity are also areas where SIR Bobby dwarfs McKenna. NEVER sully his legacy by conflating McKenna and his worst season in the clubs history, 1 home win, 4 wins in 42 and never having any success IN the top division with the great man. It makes you look ignorant. Find other ways to rig your forelock to McKenna and be a sheep who can’t detach his own ego from a struggling manager, who would sell you down the river in a heartbeat. One great season in the EFL. Hard for Bobby to match that - he never managed a single game at that level. I guess there’s a reason why McKenna despite the resources has only ever had success away from elite clubs. Bobby thrived at the top table.., he lived it, he grew into it and I’ve been in the coaching pitch with him, it wasn’t hard to see why!! His group would run through walls for him.., they’d die for each other.., for him.., he made everyone, all the staff too feel ten foot tall .., he made you the best version of yourself you could be.., you felt immense in his presence. McKenna. He’d be more suited to teaching geography.., if you want to measure him against Bobby in terms of leadership traits. Our players wouldn’t cross the road for McKenna .., he’s lost some of them .., it’s why many have left the building, that’s how great a man manger he is. And they work with him day in and day out.., and they’ve had enough. We have to turn so many players, because so few are buying in to the project. Compare him to Sir Bobby …, nah.., take your emotional investment in him, and shove it!!! |  | |  |
