It's a shame you can't add which people believe he should have gone some time this season and that pretty much the only reason he is here next season is due to him having a contract to see out.

Well it would be if the only people that had voted on here were Bradford fans.

If you honestly believe that 62% of Bradford fans are happy with McNamara and want him to remain at the club then you are more deluded than I thought.

I think the voting is probably roughly accurate. Trolls have no one obvious course of action, they're as likely to vote Mac out as in.

I don't think I would vote if I was a troll.

Some might say I am I guess....

Perhaps we need supplementary question / security question, "And are you a Bradford fan?"

Or just simply;

Are you a troll?

I wonder what the collective name is for a group of Trolls? ? ? ?

Aussie Chicks.

. . . . . you've a long memory too, I see

1. You are basing this on what exactly?

2. So Leeds/ Shudds/ Wakey etc fans are likely to vote on the poll for McNamara to go then are they? It is in the best interests for all the other SL teams for him to stay at our club because we are not a serious contender with him at the helm.

1. Guesswork, same as you, just mine is better, because...
2. For every L/S/W fan who would idly try to disrupt us by voting 'Macca must stay', there's likely one that would attempt the same effect with a 'Macca must go'. Both options have their attractions to those who purely wish to cause trouble. And the vast majority of visitors probably could not be bothered either way.

Oh, and what raises it above the level of guesswork is that it broadly reflects the feeling on here over the past few weeks. A majority, though not a huge one, seem to want to adopt a wait and see approach.

It's deja-vu all over again.

It seems that the club have used fans forums to good effect in getting across all the good work McNamara is getting Paul Medley to do on the youth development front

I voted "Not Happy but feel he is the best option for the club".

Not 100% behind that but was the closest to how I felt.

Macca's got 1 year (well less really) to show us all that he can get a team to compete in the league, be consistent and produce a 5th/6th placed finish. Any lower and I think that he will definitely have failed for next year.

If he is going to go at the end of his contract, whoever is coming in must have some opportunity to mould the side by bringing in their own players and to review the current squad before next season finishes. If we're struggling half way-in and as inconsistent as this year he'll have to go early.

He's shown that he can get a team to win 5 games back to back - granted this was against teams in the lower half of the table generally, but the fans now expect this sort of run on a regular basis - not just once a year when all looks lost anyway. He's shown he's willing to ease the kids into the 1st team and not just throw them in at the deep end for 80 mins. Personally I think Macca's got that "pretty much" right, but he should trust the youngsters to play more than 5/10 mins when they initially do come in.

We don't appear to be a club that will pay-off a coach and then pay out a fee for a coach under contract.

Other issues I am more worried about at the minute though.....

The coaching staff issue is still not clear, if anything, it looks as though they are all staying. Messers, Richards, St. Hilaire and Clawson all seem to be safe following the public "approval" from Peter Hood when the T&A lead with the "sackings" story. Are these guys good enough? Or is it all Macca's fault?

I know not long has gone since the end of our season, but there are more stories of people leaving than there is of those coming in. I appreciate we are looking at some kids coming through the ranks such as Donaldson, Whitehead, Olbsion and Crookes etc but these lads cannot yet be expected to replace players of the ilk of Morrison and Solomona.

We're already announced the loss of Morrison, Cook, Solomona, Jeffries, Newton, James, Tupou (don't forget him), yet only announced L'Estrange and Hall.

Add to this we could still be losing Sam, and Hall may yet decide to stay in Oz after recent events the squad looks a little thin. There are more clubs vying for talent and the player pool has been spread more thinly. Saints looking at re-signing Fozzard is a prime example that the quantity of quality players available just isn't there for 14 teams at the moment.

The longer we leave our player recruitment, the more I become worried. Wigan are obviously getting rid of Nobby, and will probably make a "decent" signing or two for the new coach, whoever that may be.

Celtic pretty much need a new side after having half the first team deported. If Nobby goes there he'll be after quite a few players, if not already having them lined up.

Wire appear to be buying a new side, Wakey are snapping up half our squad and Hull are signing some good experienced players (if they stay fit). I know these sides have, or are releasing players, but none of those released are deemed good enough by those clubs, never mind us.

So, WHO THE HELL ARE WE SIGNING?

Peter Hood denies we are signing Chris Walker - why would he lie? The Brett Kearney deal is "up in the air" and its starting to look as though we could be gazzumped as we were for Darrly Millard.

Nothing on John Rudd, I assume he's been told thanks, but no thanks.

Looks as though we could be in for a few worrying weeks/months ahead on the recruitment front.

All this uncertainty is not exactly going to help on the season tickets sale front is it?

A little bit of positive news needs to come from the club sooner rather than later.
