Are you going to change your vote then and tip the balance the other way?

Nope

Wonder if the ‘Ins’ will hold a party if the vote tips their way?

GC has very comfortably kept us up and with my rose tints on are currently occupying a position a mere 4 places below our highest ever position.

When we finished 8th under Tisdale we accumulated 70 points. With a couple of games left we had an outside chance of a play-off spot.

With 4 games left we have 54. We're 16 points off the final play-off spot. In the unlikely event we beat Northampton and win the other three matches we still can't get to the total Tisdale's team achieved. This has been a very different season to that one.

Irrespective of how anyone feels, GC Deserves huge credit for the turnaround in fortunes and the club for getting the players in we needed to rectify earlier mistakes. GC is nowhere near the realms of greatest manager etc. And still has a huge amount to prove next season. But let's just enjoy we tipped the right way in the relegation battle and hopefully we can build on this turnaround next season

The biggest positive difference being that we haven't nearly bankrupted the Club whilst doing it !

True. But have we, in relative terms , spent less? We're more financially robust than we were in 2010.

The poll now stands at 50/50 after six months of voting.

So it's official, the fan base hasn't got a feckin clue whether it wants the manager to stay or go.

Good work everyone.

A sustainable club can only spend what it can afford. In 2024 Gary did so and it appears we will finish in a comfortable mid table. In 2010 in a vanity exercise Tisdale spent considerably more than the club could afford nd in doing so almost destroyed us. Similar to what Bury did in winning promotion and parallels with Yeovil chasing short term dreams

A manager will spend within the budget he is allocated. I don't think the issue was What Tisdale spent but those whom allowed us to go over budget or more gambled on Increased attendances against it.Again the club was in a hugely different place the last time we in league 1, miles behind in many more ways than now. If anything Tisdale achieved to much too quickly in that period and the club I think got ahead of itself, which I don't see happening this time round.

Many clubs overspend, because there chairmen / chairwoman / boards allow it

Now days in we are probably ahead of a lot of league one sides in terms of infrastructure and how we are run, the next step is working out how we sustain a budget which properly sits in the middle to upper mid of this league and sustain us as a consistent league one side under trust control. Gonna be fun to see if we can achieve it.
