Has Paul Hartley Lost The Support?

[TheDarkBlues]

We are now coming up to the middle of the season and we are now on 8 games without a win (plenty of draws) and we are now sliding down the league to 9th place.

Has your faith in PH changed since the start of the season, do you think his time has come or is it still far too early to judge?

Your thoughts?

The honeymoon is definitely over.

He did what so many before him failed to do and got us promoted. But if he can't now keep us there, it effectively counted for nothing.

[Ivan Drago]

I personally think he should go however voted for shoogly peg as think that's the mood of the wider support

[Abdul Latif]

He lost the support a few weeks ago IMO.

[Notts Dee]

He should go - has had time and seemingly support from the board , his tactics are bizarre !

[offshoredee]

Nope he hasn't yet, I still think he will turn it round

[gblue]

He should go

[87DEE]

I'd stick with him

[Rocky Boy]

Agree with Abdul, he lost the support a few weeks ago, he should just do the honest thing and do an Iain Murray and walk, he does have previous

doing this sort of thing, fingers crossed.

He definitely appears to have lost a lot of support, but I still don't think that will prompt any board action.

I'd hope, though, that it might prompt him to act.....reconsider.....and change.

Another aspect not yet discussed here.....does he have the right support team?.....are they debating/arguing with him, or are they just nodding in agreement? I don't know, or suggest either.....but it is another aspect that may be influential.

We also need to remember that it often takes a few seasons to put significant changes into practice.....and our club has been in a very weakened state for a decade. If PH keeps us clear of the 11th/12th places, he may still end up making the club stronger. If we end up in 11th & fighting to get out of it, this will continue to spill over into the support. 

The Board may need to back him with some funds to strengthen in January.....if not, then they're just praying for a turnaround, like us. No necessarily a good strategy.

So because 20 or 30 boys on here want him punted, you state he has lost the support.

I think shoogly peg.

Lose next week and that peg hits the floor though.

We and he can turn it round, but we're heading quickly towards now or never time.

I don't care the personnel in the 11 next week, but if it indicates the same formation, then the crowd will give the 11 and the manager no time to get it right - and Hamilton will know that.
