We can't keep losing managers fired or otherwise, because they are unhappy with the tools they have been given to do the job with.
completely agree

It is expensive and possibly non productive to sack the manager if he is not responsible for the signings that we have made. If we brought in a new manager would he be allowed to bring in the players he wants within reasonable limits? Obviously a player like Kenwynne Jones would be ideal but probably too expensive.

Why then didn't you start the thread with the reasons why you want to keep him?
Then why not identify players that would be within our budget!!!

This. You have to ask, are the managers the root cause of our problems.

This team is not Sami's team, I think he will keep us up and then I will judge next season.

That has not been Sami's remit as yet, so he cannot be blamed for the failure to do this. I would suggest stick with him until Christmas and then re evaluate and if need be bring in a new manager and give him the funds to bring 2 or 3 players in and also other loan signings when the ones we have at the moment go back.
Cos he's only just got here.
We're not being dicked week in week out.
There have been moments that have excited even NSC.
He has clearly been under funded.
Slightly better players, a la EB, will make a huge difference.
It'll cost, and who's to say the next man will fair any better, in the current set up.
We can all see the problem areas, we'll see who January brings.
I'd love to be on the right side of history, for a change.
Sami tactics aren't as one dimensional as NSC would have you believe.
He's been let down by key players at key moments.

Isn't a forum about debate then?

It's hard to know how the recruitment was sold to him in the interview process. We are told that the manager has a say in the players brought in, maybe with our budget, and with FPP considerations, we are just not in a position to pay the fee/wages for players that Sami really wants. Was he sold a proposition that has turned out not to be what he expected ?
Can't say I've been impressed tactically from the games I've watched, admittedly only a few, so I wouldn't be against replacing him, if that what the board decides. Plenty of available names that could do a job, but probably not many that would want to do it unless perhaps the purse strings are loosened and better quality players are acquired, if the club really is genuine about challenging for promotion.
That said, there were 50 applicants for the Motherwell vacancy, so plenty of out of work managers desperate for work, and surely the Brighton project would be more attractive

Thanks SB, you've pretty much covered it for me.

Many on NSC slag off other clubs for changing managers at the drop of a hat and are the same ones calling for his head. Every manager needs a decent opportunity to prove themselves. My biggest criticism is not his tactics or player recruitment but team selection and his insistence on sticking with one particular player who contributes little while others do not get a chance. But perhaps that is part of the learning curve to get the balance of the team correct.

I agree. Stat Brother has nailed it. I'd add that we are 11 points off the playoffs and if we could hire someone big upfront in January, even someone unproven at this level like Greg Bobkin, things will be different.
Be careful. Taking that question to its logical end leads you to a point where you'll get called ungrateful. Apparently money makes you infallible.
It's a fair question though. You've asked everyone else that supports keeping Sami to give their reasons why but haven't done so yourself.
I'm surprised there's so many of us

I agree. He signed when we still had Ulloa & Buckley who were then sold from under him. Did he ask for any of the signings that we got apart from, possibly Teixeira?
