people in the other MD thread are making excuses. it's getting embarrassing at this point. 

Nothing has changed since the first Auckland loss (against 9) but fans still defend this.

Him and Dome both gotta go imo.

I don’t think anyone’s defending our performance: the debate is over how to fix it.

I totally get the reactions of “we can’t go on like this” and “something has to change”, but frankly there’s a lot of magical thinking going on that if we only fire enough people then the team will suddenly come right.

This isn’t the EPL where qualified people are lining up for the manager’s job. Show me a realistic pathway from dropping Chiefy that ends in a better performance rather than the team being thrown into even worse disarray, and I could be onboard with it. Right now all I’m hearing is “life will be better after the Revolution”.

Similarly people are making lots of unfounded assumptions about how much impact Dome has on our on-field results. I’m not saying incorrect assumptions, because maybe through the Football Committee he does have more direct influence than his job title suggests; but none of us actually know.

Something absolutely has to change. I’m just yet to be convinced this is the change that will fix things.
