Now??

Getting immune to it now, Christophe. Trying to blank it out and build up some excitement for next season.....

If we sack Juric now, I assume we would have to pay him off. What's the point? I believe that it is in his contract that his job can be reviewed at the end of the season. Presumably we can part ways without paying him off?

More like Fluffy Slippers.....

I suspect that DS has learnt. Not much that he can actually do about it at the moment.......

Do we actually have one?

It was obvious that we would struggle. but I thought/hoped that we would just have enough to stay up. Not in my wildest nightmares did I think it would be as bad as it is.....

Penalties??🤔 No.......you'll have to remind me.......

TBH, I would love it! He was a great manager for us.....a really good fit. I felt "dirty" when we sacked him. He, sadly, had to go in the end. He looked a beaten man, but this was due to the lack of support that he had. With the right squad addiitions at that time, I genuinely believe that the last two/three years would have been a completely different story. A refreshed, successful Ralph alongside Spors would be a good prospect in my opinion.

Get Ralph back!!

Bobby Stokes? Loved him (not just for the 76 Cup Final) but I wouldn't say that he was blessed with silky skills.

Supposedly a reference to the trident on their badge........

I didn't dislike RM as a person....in fact i quite liked him. Last season I backed him although his style of football was an issue. When it worked it was brilliant to watch. Seeing teams get frustrated because we wouldn't let them have the ball was brilliant, but when it didn't work it was diabolically frustrating. It was painfully obvious that he didn't, even remotely, have the squad to take his style successfully into the EPL and that he wouldn't change his style whatever happened. His quotes on Monday compound this even more. He HAD to go and should have gone before when there was still an oportunity to get somebody in to give us at least a fighting chance of staying up.

I agree. The current squad is one of the worst in living memory, but I have seen some on here and Social Media outlets say that we should have stuck with RM.

Yes....that's why I said it was strange.......disinterest in someone who had been pretty successful.

I don't get the "re-writing" of history that some are carrying out, saying that we should have stayed with him. P16 W1 D2 L13 GF11 GA36 GD -25 P6 is the reason that he should have gone earlier. Keeping him for so long was a major mistake......especially after his utterings last night. Should have been 10 games max. Getting Juric (or anyone else who would take the job) in, is like giving somebody a plastic bucket to bail out Titanic.

Puel's reign was a strange one. Yes, eighth and a Cup Final, but for the only time in many, many years, I couldn't be asked to stay for the "Traditional" lap of honour at the final home game of the season, and from what I remember, I wasn't the only by a long chalk.

Yes.....whenever he came on, he just stuck close to the touchline.......closer than a flea on Sellotape....could never understand it...

A better performance.......enough to give Juric more time? Probably not........

A case NOT cracked by Holmes and Watson?

He Rambo'd It!!

TBF if a digital clock was stuck then it would be once a day but analogue would be twice a day. Not even MLG can argue with that......can he?

Twice a day......

This is true....however, whoever decided on Armstrong was taking a gamble (or trying to be "clever") which didn't work.......was that Ralph? Obviously AA is brilliant in the Championship, but is unable to cut it in the Prem. What we needed, although probably couldn't afford, was a Prem quality striker to replace the one we had lost.
