Mackintosh needs specsavers if he cant see it now!

[premFlem]

Its blindingly obvious Jol is not going to turn this around, its over do something now.

To be honest, as much as I hate to admit it, football clubs are run like businesses. I think Ali Mac is worried that if he were to give Jol his P45, he'll be asked why it didn't happen sooner, & then be given his own marching orders.

Only my thoughts, though...

I recon your not far off

I think little mac does not have the balls to sack jol as he thinks he will lose face over his appointment of jol. People make mistakes but you need to man up admit its not working and move him on

[premFlem]

I think Mackintosh has given Jol more than a fair crack of the whip, personally I'd say now that the players heads are down its time for an emergency board meeting monday/tuesday Jol voted out and Kit Symons voted in as caretaker boss. A new permanent boss hopefully by December with the promise of 10/20million in the January window, Its never too late.

Why the assumption that sacking Jol is within Mackintosh's remit?

He wouldn't have had that power under MAF.

It's all down to maths....

- (Martin Jol + P45) = Current league position + 10

QED!

All the soundings indicate that Khan has given mackintosh this remit, but obviously as owner Khan would have the final say

I feel the same. Ali Mac is just as responsible for the shambles that is our team as Jol, so he has bought into the lie that 'we will be ok' as much as Jol, hence the lack of action. He doesn't realize his hubris, or fear, will likely mean losing his job.

Didn't Khan say he's trusting Jol & Mac to run the side?

[sumofallparts]

I would expect some sort of announcement tomo.
Surely SOMETHING has to happen or at least be said?
Might go and mooch around Motspur Park tomo to see what's going on.

macKintosh is badly at fault for this mess.
we have the wrong ceo
the wrong manager and unless the ceo gets rid of the manager we should be rid of both of them. that is just the way it is.

[MikeW]

Little unfair to blame Ali Mac.  He is just the do'er for a wealthy boss.  If they say jump (or not seemingly not in this case) what can he do?  Not his company.  Not his money.  It's the problem working for wealthy one-man owner.

[Berserker]

I think all the money and all the thinking since at least last year was on selling the club and getting a new owner. It obviously tied up finances so that we had to get older players and loanees, each of which has caused problems. Jol has just not been the right person to manage under these circumstances. As has been said before, Sparky saw the writing on the wall and threw his towel in, didn't he say something like we would fall apart and we now have.

As the owner Khan has entrusted ceo Mackintosh to oversee
the hiring and firing decisions. I presume he's paid
handsomely for that responsibility

I bet nothing happens until after the inevitable defeat to Swansea.  fp.gif

Khan, rightly, does not want to appear as a typical trigger-happy foreign owner. Stability is always better than constant change, so I think he will wait to see whether we beat a team that is around us in the league.

Trouble is, we all know that Jol has 'lost' the dressing room so it would be best to get rid now. It would give us 2 weeks to work on drills, new formation etc. A good manager would get this team playing well enough to stay up, no problem.

"Stability is always better than constant change"

Even if true (very doubtful), they are not the only options. Judicious change is always the sensible option, and never more needed than now to remove the poison that is Jol.
