Stop abusing Sammy!

For all those idiots abusing Sammy McIlroy and saying his tactics are inept, just think about this.
Who took us into the Football League for the first time in our history?
Who signed our leading goalscorer of last season?
Who built this team?
Of course, the answer is Sammy McIlroy. He took Morecambe out of the conference, something Jim Harvey couldn't do.
He signed Phil Jevons.
He signed Barry Roche, Paul Mullin, Mark Duffy, Lawrence Wilson, Andy Parrish, Chris McCready, Andy Fleming etc. He has taken us beyond any of our expectations we would have had a few years ago (league 2 playoffs). We have just had a shaky start. A few good results and we could be in the playoffs again. We are only a quarter of the way into the season, you can't start blaming Sammy for this start to the season.
