It is not coaches fault Catalan was strugling at the back end of last year winning very few so rot goes back further than this season.

5 weeks in charge is not very long. Big questions have to be asked about signing Perry and Bird though.

I must admit I did have my worries when they appointed Walters.

He should be given more time as they are still losing close games, but if they haven't improved in the next 6/7 games then they should look at getting rid.

can see what you mean, but depending on his wage they might keep hold till the end of the season to avoid a big pay off

thats the benefit of franchising in that one poor decision by a club doesnt mean they get relegated and loads of good work gets undone

know what you mean, but people still call for a coaches head after a handful of games.

I think this is a cultural thing and may take time to develop. Dally makes a very good point, we would all be bricking it now if relegation was in place.

Just because we have franchising doesn't mean that fans will put up with their season being a write off after 6 or 7 games. Once we get to halfway I think there'll be less call for managers to be sacked but early season we will still see what we are doing now.
