Poll " Was it the right decision? "

Looking at Twitter, there seems to be a lot of anger that Morison left at this point.

So the question is this:

Purely based on results, and not the bust-up, was it the right time for Steve Morison to no longer be our manager?

I'll be honest, I'm 50/50 on it. Supported him for a long time even when others had doubts.

But the second half on Tuesday and the whole performance yesterday made me question whether he would take us forward.

This was always a season of consolidation with a new style. But would Morison have been the manager to take us forward next season? I'm not sure.

But he did make good recruitment and have us playing a better style of football. As others have said, we now have a good squad - a much better squad than Mick McCarthy left.

Our first half performance on Tuesday was also fantastic.

For these reasons, I'm voting unsure.

It is early but I couldn’t see any improvement from the first game of the season absolutely no cutting edge

Same as you I supported Morison but recently some of his formations and tactics got me doubting him .

I was a fan of Morison but he tinkered with the team too much and it wasn’t warranted so absolutely the right time for a change.

Unsure and doubtful going on last two games and his comments yesterday there is something wrong with his understanding of how to manage games and tactics.

Voted no. I dont think it's the right time if we dont have a potential big replacement lined up.

Regardless I dont feel he was the right man long-term.

Never felt like "one of us", made silly decisions/comments and was very confrontational.

Hope he learns from the last year and goes on to do to great things in management though.

Definitely wrong. Twitter is a much better gage on fan opinion and it’s strongly against the decision.
We will end up with Hudson or Purse or god forbid get Neil Harris back which will consolidate this further as a bad decision.

Without a plan its crazy, why would Hudson be any better than Morison unless it was a real bust-up and some senior players (whoever they are) have lost trust in the rookie coach?

I blame the club for thinking a rookie coach was the answer in what was always going to be a difficult position.

Most definitely the correct decision. Completely arrogant,was an embarrassment in press conferences and looked more out of his depth game by game.

Sadly I think he was on a hiding to nothing.

It's a thankless job and without money ere fecked .

To be fair he has put us on a good footing and should be commended for that ..

Was it the right decesion probably yes .. somehow I couldn't see it improving..

You either have a long term plan or you don't. If you do then you don't abandon it because you're not getting immediate results like some on here seem to expect, so it's a no from me even though I was getting frustrated with the lack of urgency & general slowness at times.

Embarrassing to who? You think Bellamy wouldn’t make similar arrogant remarks in press conferences?

Hudson and Purse will be gone by Christmas!

Embarrassing watching him practically bully the younger lads every time we lost. It was never his fault. Did you ever hear him take any form of responsibility? The way he bigged Huddersfield up yesterday was a total embarrassment. It looked like he had lost the dressing room. Zero effort from our team .

Thought about it and voted a regrettable 'Yes'

Was surprised at the timing but recent games, comments and events suggest it was only a matter of time

If, as suggested, he took on Tan after that performance against tgat team, he sacked himself

Thank him for his efforts last season and his reshaping of tge squad. He wasn't the worse we've had in recent times...

Sven you said you saw results improving under Morison in a previous thread prior to his sacking. We’re you just saying that to show support at the time rather than believing it? Seems odd you now think so soon after that those results weren’t going to improve and that he deserved to be sacked.

I would say if I was of the opinion results were soon going to get better I would also be happy to back him for longer.

Wrong decision,too early back your manager.

It sounds as if Morison takes no shit off anyone.I voted no because God knows who we will end up .What stunt will Tan pull next.
three months to the next window.It's all going swimmingly well.

We simply won’t get a new manager that will make this decision worthwhile

I think time will prove it was the right move. He was clearly winding people up the wrong way. He has a great eye for a player and he has got them very comfortable on the ball. But we have zero cutting edge. Teams know if they can score one they can sit back and we won’t get back in the game. We have no set piece threat and our strikers for whatever reason. Can’t score. Either due to lack of service or through lacking the skills to magic something.

Yes it’s fair to say we haven’t spent much. But we have got good players. Most of them are
Experienced championship or premier league players at some stage. We are a good run away from a solid playoff spot but our soft underbelly is making us relegation fodder.

I did and as a more positive supporter, I gave him and his players a chance. Equally, I agreed that around 10 to 12 games was a fair period to see how he gets on...

I also said (above) I was surprised but not shocked by the timing, as I believed he would (maybe should) be given time...

If what we have been told about an altercation with Tan is true, then he sacked himself. But either way, he was on a tightrope and yesterday's abject performance and post-match comments will have swayed a lot of people into a 'Yes' vote they may not have a day or two ago

There's a huge difference between thinking things through before reaching a conclusion than there is opting for negativity at every opportune moment

My opinions are always honest but I equally reserve the right to change my mind when I feel the timing is right

Entrenchment is the domain of others...

I’ve not been negative only realistic. I wanted Morison to keep his job as I was positive about the job he was doing under the circumstances. That doesn’t mean I can’t call a defeat when I see one occurring and I have been quite correct in many predictions. I did say we would best Huddersfield though.
I think the split in the voting shows he was not disliked as much as many are saying on here.
I feel I would be more comfortable if the club confirmed they were still looking to continue with the change of style albeit with another manager as I don’t believe we can go through another dinosaur appointment.

Its all about points and been close to the bottom rather than the top says it all he was a rookie and we took a gamble i just wish he could have gone back to looking after the youngsters
but i suppose that just would' nt work and damage is done
i do wish he was backed better with more funds for a quality striker plus he did tell us to be happy this year with his sqaud and we where all going to be happy but most fans seem pretty misrable and the crowds don't lie and he never connected with the fans like warnock which to me was not helping matters and man management goes a long way more carrot less stick it seems today with the players morison seemed more in the toshack camp of telling players they are pussies the handling of watters was a big example of how not to do it.

Got to ask the question? if you were the owner and your manager basically said didnt have a clue how to set up for a game because didnt know opposition team and way it played.... plus the lack of urgency to attack opposition as oor as huddersfield would you find that acceptable ? In fairness plenty on here criticised his post match interviews and the substance of them dont you think tan could have similar views as supporters? So if not now I believe he would have gone in 3 or 4 games time.

Let’s hope the rumours on FB are not true about him

What rumours?

What are the rumours for those who don’t need Facebook?

Don’t tell me Tan been tapping up the work mobile phones again

Unless there is a hidden story then this is a wrong/premature decision.

I think there’s something more to this.

From a football perspective. No.

But I think there's more to this.
