If the results had been the same as ours at a lot of other clubs, he would have been hounded out by now.  I think a good proportion of our fans have been largely quite supportive in the circumstances, and appreciate the limitations that the manager has faced. 

All managers get stick from Wenger and Fergie downwards.  GH is no different and he should realise that. 

After losing ten out of 13 league matches at Moss Lane to date this season, what does he seriously expect - to be carried triumphantly along George Street on the shoulders of adoring disciples?

Alty's supporters have exhibited remarkable tolerance during a largely miserable first half of the season.

Nobody is demanding that he should lead Alty to the play-offs.

All we ask is to finish in 20th place and then GH will receive due acclaim.

to many people who come to watch us just on a one off are the ones that don't understand the situation the clubs in. they cum and watch us think we played crap but don't understand that the players and graham did the best they could stevenage then northwich proved that

SPOT ON.

As much as no manager is beyong criticism, some of that has been somewhat overly harsh considering what GH has to work with - (up to this week) a small squad & ill prepared and I think there is some justification in people being reminded of what he has done for Alty.

As recently as the home Vics game there were strange management decisionsm (i.e. the very strange midfield), but he has done a hell of a lot more good than bad.

I don't think anyone is disputing the contribution GH has made to the club, nor the limitations he works under.  There is no doubt that he cares deeply about Alty.  But the manager is always going to take the brunt of things when result are poor (just as they get praise when results are good), and GH is going to be no exception. 

I honestly think that the support GH has had on the terraces and in the boardroom in proportion to the results has been fair and patient, and perhaps GH loses track of that at times.
