Can't see us beating Fulham or getting a draw for that matter.
But what if we get something from Boro home will that just prolong Mickysaurus's reign:shrug:

Its pathetic. They obviously cant afford to sack him.
Or sounding out potential candidates which should have been done weeks ago..Quote:

Seriously if we're looking at oldies we could do a lot worse than give Roy Hodgson a tilt. He would at least have us organised defensively pretty sharpish and show MM up for what he really is.
I'd rather go with a younger manager now and try building.. Hodgson would be another tempQuote:

They could at least sound him out on that premise. Not sure if an untried, younger manager is the answer at this moment in time.Quote:

We saw versus Reading the team can pass and keep the ball better than Micks five at the back rubbish.Quote:

Where have the older, over tried managers got us? Why isn't now the time for a younger manager? When is the time? (for me it was the summer after dinosaur liar Mick steadied the ship) why would we go with another dinosaur now, where does it ever get us?Quote:

At some point we have to win a game but it will prolong the inevitable sadly.
He lost me with the 5cbs against West Brom. We could win the next 3 :hehe: but as soon as we lose a couple again, calls for him to go will return.
I hope they are using this time to plan and think ahead but I doubt it. Most likely it's all money related, hierarchy praying for a miracle turnaround so they don't have to pay him off.
The issue is when the new experienced manager (if actually) they keep us up they are almost guaranteed to be offered a new contract.Quote:

Agreed, trapped in the short term fix it up jobs. The cycle has to be broken one way or the other.Quote:

If the results don't blow us away at the start hopefully we can hold our nerve and stick with it as that's clearly the only way.
The cycle has to be broken sooner or later or these dinosaurs will never leave the game.Quote:

And yes, it is important to have a bit of patience.
If we're going to roll the dice, give the fans a bit of excitement along the way. Gareth Ainsworth could possibly be the answer but I'm not sure he would be the right man to lay the foundations for long term success of the club in a way that Graham Potter appears to be doing at Brighton. And yes, I know long term financial support of the board is critical for us to thrive as a club.Quote:

worst christmas ever if this plonker is still in charge
Finances are important, but first I'd rather see us get the basics right and get a good structure in place before spending any money, nice reply :thumbup:Quote:
