Do you think Magath should be fired?

I know this has come up on a lot of boards lately, but do you think Magath should be fired?

I'm a little undecided on this but I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

I’ll give Magath the benefit of the doubt… for now. I’m hoping he’ll pull off something like Stuttgart’s coach did. He was reckoned to be the first coach in the Bundesliga to be fired this season, but obviously he got his team going. Look where Stuttgart is now, from 15th place to 2nd place. If Magath can get motivated and get his team to get motivated like that, then we can start winning convincingly again. Something between him and the players have to click.

How can you be unsure.Sack him and get klinsi,lippi or a mourinho.
What bayern reqires the most is a world class manager.

I've put unsure for now. I guess - it's still 'early' and we should allow him the benefit of the doubt for now, but if this form continues people are going to look for someone to blame.

I am sure....LOL...
Bayern should be more aggressive....I hate Magath's defence minded game.

I'm unsure because you can't blame him for everything that is going on with the club though he is a part of the problem. Add the fact that they are still in the German Cup, for how much longer I do not know, and they did qualify for the second round of the Champions League. Also under Magath Bayern did win the titles back to back which is hard. So, I guess there is some loyality there.

With that being said, if things don't get better and they get knocked out of the tournaments early then I say get rid of him. It's so obvious that the players have no desire and he's not making them change their attitude. In fact, they are following his example and that's not good.

magath is pissing me off with his tactics and interviews lately
he did a good job untill now but if he doesnt do something quickly(repair players morale, make them playing with passion,...) he should think seriously to retire from team

magath is a good manager, let's not forget he brought us the league and cup double back to back...

it's not his fault the board have no ambition... I honestly think that given two or three more years we'll have a fantastic, young side that can mature into a dominant force in germany and a good team in europe!

the squad hitzfeld left was in fact ageing... think of the back four... only sagnol and Lucio were at peak form...

the attack too was on the decline, elber, sergio, janker had all left, zickler was cracking on in years,

midfield wise, ballack and ze roberto were the only one's to be truly counted on, players like hargreaves, demichelis, schweinsteiger, lahm, have come on leaps and bounds since magath joined.

and he has made some key signings, poldi, van buyten, ismael, van bommel etc

all signs point to him developing a new wave of players about the same age... mostly german, who can develop into future stars!

thanks, incidentally speaking... has anyone heard of a youngster called felsenberg? a lot of my friends have been mentioning him recently, but I can't find anything out about him (supposedly a young german midfielder)
