Disgrace 17:31 - Aug 27 with 47313 views | Knowlesy | Hill's reaction to the fans after our equaliser today is the final straw for me. Dunno if it's still at the point where I'll get slagged off for this but an own goal / straight from the corner / whatever it was does not justify 90 minutes of absolute sludge nor does it make me feel any better about the season ahead. We needed to win today to bring the fans back onside and I've always defended Hill because of what he's done for the club, don't get me wrong we have come a long, long way under his management but for me he can go after his reaction to the fans today. Turning round and giving it both barrels to the crowd after we've scored because they had a go after sending Logan back into his goal is unacceptable, he had no other thought in his mind after that goal other than getting one over on those paying fans. The first time in my life that I've actually been angrier after we've scored a goal and if a manager can do that then it's not a good show. Looking very grim after that performance. | ![](/images/avatars/1130.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Disgrace on 18:31 - Aug 27 by Clivert | That Steve Eyre chap on radio Manc comes across as a likeable knowledgable man, perhaps someone like him would be a better man to manage our football club? FFS, I don't think Guardiola or Mourinho could do a better job for us than what Keith Hill has done. |
Neither do I. Though at the moment, Hill is going through a tough period partly as a result of poor recruitment and selections. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

I'm with you to some extent, I almost expect that to happen again. It's just this time we have problems that have existed for a while that have yet to be addressed. Signing two defenders would illustrate we can do it again. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

One who can just head corners and crosses away would do me. Luck has been against us far this season and perhaps with that late goal today the tide has turned? I back Hill to get it right once more again. | ![](/images/avatars/1302.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Whilst I understand your point, everything comes back round to the fans. We would never be in a position to sign players that could be moved on for high fees if we only drew in 500 or so fans a week. Nor would the sponsors be keen to put money into the club as who would sponsor a club with no fans? there would be only a fraction of club shop sales, less money raised through 'easyfundraising', the trust would not have been able to raise the money to buy those pitch covers all those years ago which could have led to postponements and other cash flow problems... the list goes on, the point is that fans contribute a lot more than the attendance figure alone.

I agree, but sadly I don't think fans are as significant part of the plan as they should be. That's not down to the First Team manager though. If he offends a few then that 'aint good, but its cross words. For me the problem is more around getting fans in the ground. It finally feels like you're a client now. Nothing is easy, everything has a price. It's a dump too. | ![](/images/avatars/1211.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Its one thing getting fans in the ground but if youre going to offend and disrespect the fans that are already there then its going to be a major problem. Hill and the board might be frustrated but taking it out on fans that pay hard earned money optionally to come doesnt help anyone. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

No it's not okay the other way round. I hear all sorts from customers every day including death threats and screaming and shouting, but you just have to take it and keep calm. It's your job. You represent a company and as soon as you retaliate, it is the same as the company retaliating. If I swore at a customer, it's gross misconduct as it would be in all jobs. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Disgrace on 19:49 - Aug 27 with 3090 views | 11becks11 | I am upset by what happened today. I made the decision at the beginning of the season to take my 4 year old to the home games. I except that during a game there is bad language used and with hindsight maybe my decision to take my child so young was wrong. However how Hilly reacted today, not only the language but the gesture, to me is unacceptable. I was fuming that my child had to see that from the manager of our club! I appreciate what Hilly has done for the club but with all his experience he should know that he cannot act like that. He is a professional football manager and should realise that families are at the games! I won't be taking my little one again! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

No, I thought Big Jim was excellent last season at left back. He's limited obviously but the whole thing with Henderson playing in midfield just seems to cause confusion. I would have BBM forking the pitch at half time. | ![](/images/avatars/1233.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I didn't say he should be replaced! I think he is a good manager and has turned our club around since he came back.

Just read this post. He's better than good I would say, perhaps his reaction was down to us scoring so late on in a game rather than conceding so late on? | ![](/images/avatars/1302.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
