Has grant mcann ran out of credit ?

I’m sorry but I have to ask.

After 200+ posts, has this topic not ‘Run out of Credit’?

It has, and it has proved the point that the vast majority of fans are behind the manager even if it is just a small number on the forum.

I can imagine the 20 who say he has are the twitter mob no doubt.

We’ve had a good couple of seasons. Only the present season matters though in terms of managers job security etc surely? Said it before but you don’t get extra points added to your tally at the end of the season for previous achievements.

Here’s a question… If (after being given x millions extra investment) after 3 seasons under McCann, we are still in L2, is that considered a failure despite a promotion in between?

My post was in response to someone who was talking about gates, and the fact he believed they weren’t great because we aren’t winnning regularly.
I was just pointing out we’ve been winning very regularly over the last two years and the gates stayed the same generally

I think you are missing my point Dickos. I don’t dispute that you are probably right about the 50% win ratio. Attracting new support though is surely encouraging new people through the gates and (unlike us, the stalwarts) they won’t keep the faith come what may; they want to see the home team win. That did not happen for week after week because following our very good start (which would have encouraged new support) we failed to win a league match for 10 games until the  Peterborough game and then failed again for another 6 matches before the next victory. New supporters might come back once, but not after 9 without one.

Going back many years (before season-ticket holders were automatically included in the attendance) it is surely behind dispute that crowds build when we go on a good run and fall back when we have the sort of 4 months that we suffered from mid September to mid January. We were failing to win and mostly losing match after match and spirits were low even amongst the VSC faithful.

I admire your unwavering optimism, but my relationship with the club, though demonstrably permanent, is more pragmatic.

PS You could have drawn my attention to the fact that “winning regularly” could mean doing so at consistent intervals. Repeating a win every fifth game would not stimulate public enthusiasm. So, “Winning frequently” would have been more apt way of putting it. There could also be a debate about whether our record-breaking run to the Play-offs attracted more new support than our steady title-winning 2024/25.

I’m not missing your point, your point is winning week after week would increase our attendances. I’m pointing out we’ve been winning pretty much more games than anyone else in the country over the last 24 months and the gates haven’t improved

Im not even thinking of going down. More around what does the recruitment look like in the summer to help us get a better league position in league 1. Lots to play for, 1 result can make a difference where we are and lots of teams playing each other down below over the coming weeks.

I am also part of the X.com mob and am a fervent supporter of  McCann and the other two in the top triumvirate at Doncaster FC

Well done for correcting Mr Castrato's error that he still can't see for himself!
