Win, lose or draw.... Premier League or relegation, I can't think of anyone I'd rather have in charge of my team. I like the fact that our players are on the whole grounded, hard working individuals on and off the pitch. We are one of the most professional clubs in the country in my opinion and I'd take that over and above finishing in the top 6 of the BPL.

I also like having a go using the limited resources we have. Let's see what we can do. I have no expectation - only hope that we can turn things around. I'd rather be a Reading fan than a QPR fan right now - with all the money they've spent. In fact, I'd rather be a Reading fan than any other fan right now.

In Brian we trust.

If the question refers to Brian, he should stay; if it relates to the glory hunting school kid who started this thread and all those other anti-Brian and negative threads, I'd vote yes; please, PLEASE go, and now.

Yes because anyone who can see that bwe are disgusting to watch, can see the poor work done in the transfer market and the lack of tactical nouse by the manager must be a glory hunting kid?

Why am i a schoolkid for starting a poll to try and gauge if the majority want him gone or not?
Judging by the results a big majority want him to stay, and I accept that result, whether it stays the same should we lose tomorrow is a different matter altogether.

That's good, I'd hate to think you wouldn't take the poll results into account when deciding whether to sack Brian or not

I say no simply because I don't see who else could come in to take his place at a club with such meagre resources and so little ambition and achieve anything better.

melonhead no

same as the majority of fans

just like the majority of fans on here voted last time


You really should go back to school and/or stop telling lies. 50% voted for him to be given until the end of the season last time around. The other 50% felt he should go before that. Since when has 50% constituted a majority?

That having been said, at present the majority don't want him sacked if we lose the Villa game (doesn't mean they won't have changed their minds before the end of the season). I also think the vote might have been somewhat different if Windermere had waited until Wednesday morning.

Mind you, based on last time around, there are still over 110 from the 'he should go camp' to turn out and vote, assuming that they haven't changed their minds or given up all hope!

It will be bumped up again tomorrow night after the game whatever the result.

Our team ethic, and all that stuff is talked up so, so much. What people don't seem to remember is that other teams have good, or even better ethics than us - AND are successful. There are many well run clubs that see the need to spend if it's needed, which it (probably) is here. If McD can't keep us up, despite how great he is, he's not the one for the job. We were very lucky to get here in the first place. But let's not throw this away now (ref. sponsorship deal w/ Sky).

Pleased to see the vast majority are voting no.

Faith in the TB having at least a minor shred of humanity and intelligence restored.

Until we lose tomorrow night when all hell is going to break loose on here.

Can't wait. :D

Wigan come to mind, nearly 10 consecutive years in the PL, with some of the lowest prices with 15.000 gates..but I guess Dave Whelan must be bankrolling them. but not entirely

No, he deserves time to have a fair crack at it. His track record has earned him more time.

I'd only vote yes if a decent replacement were lined up instead - and not one of those Phil Parkinson type replacements.
