I been sniffing around their forums and it appears they hate John Still.Are they mad ?Its funny how quickly people forget isn't it ? I could have sworn they were in the conference for 6 or 7 years before Hoofy John took over.Now he hasn't won a game in the last 5 they are all saying he might as well stay in Dagenham if he loses tomorrow.Football fans ay !

He's welcome to stay if we beat them. Manager swap deal.

Typical for a club like that, always assume they deserve to win everything because they used to be sort of important. Even Portsmouth aren't so quick to turn on their management...

To be fair they have a point and should be much further up the table. They are paying CMS £9k a week and have spent good fees for some of their players.

No surprise Arnu. Our fans were very quick to turn on John any time we went on a bad run. Even in our promotion season, we lost Thurgood around October/November and we had 2-3 poor months of form in which people bemoaned Still and his style of football. In particular, Danny Green took a lot of stick for some below par displays. They soon shut up a few months later. Fans are fickle idiots, well some of them anyway.

Not me though

I fell out of love with Stilly after relegation back to lg2.Didnt really have any new ideas and we struggled.I would say in his defense he never lost his dressing room.

This is why Burnett should never be a manager. If he was at a club with any kind of expectations he would be catching much more abuse than he is off the normally docile Daggers support, yet look at how he reacts to.any kind of criticism.

Yes but if he was at a club with high expectations they'd have backed him with bucket loads of money.And if Dagenham had done that With wayne and he was 23rd in the league they'd rightly sack him in an instant.If Dagenham had given Burnett bucket loads of money we'd easily be at the top end of the league and wouldn't be relying on journeymen like Ferdinand and old men like Cureton.This is why I think you and others are being a bit unfair.
