I always feel like 5 straight defeats is about fair for any manager.

Unless you're given the top 5 teams of your league and you're one of the minnows, or a cup game is involved in that, it seems inevitable you're going to get the bullet.

With McNally seemingly ready to pull the trigger ('results based business', etc.), Gunn has more reason to worry than most, despite his reputation as a playing legend.
