Robbie seems to like his stats and everyone knows they can be used to serve your point of view. Here are some of our past managers win percentages:
Keith Hill 43.7 BBM 31.2 Paul Simpson 29.6 Alan Buckley 28.5 John Coleman 26.9 Robbie Stockdale 26.7 Steve Eyre 22.2
What this demonstrates to me:
1. It's a really tough job managing Dale 2. What an amazing job KH did to buck the trend of all the managers and sadly looks like a once in a lifetime manager for us 3. Robbie Stockdale is on borrowed time by the looks. Circumstances need to be taken into consideration but if the trend continues until Christmas when the team is considered to be his own then the axe must fall 4. It looks increasingly likely that our natural level is with Halifax, York and Darlo
Mr. Dunphy has to be brave and make the decision whether to support Steve Eyre or whether to get shut. Either way it would be nice to hear his views at this stage.
Speaking last weekend to a member of the Academy set up at Manchester City who indicated that Steve Eyre only looked after the under 10s team and at some point assisted the U18s team. It amazed not only me but the person I spoke with that he has then managed to get a job at a league club. This lack of senior coaching is becoming more evident and I feel he is out of his depth at this level.
By the sounds Mr. Dunphy was persuaded by a member of the media of Steve Eyre's credentials and it needs him now to be brave and admit to a poor decision and make amends by making a change.
