Must be a scandal brewing for her to step down so swiftly. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

On the basis that he seems a better appointment then Jones, fine. Let's just get on with it. The squad needs the new man in place fast if this is to make any difference to our inevitable relegation.

Hence why Mark Hughes is one of the most decorated managers in world football.

Had the misfortune of refereeing a few games when I was a youth coach over ten years ago. Throw in the element of you also being the coach of one of the sides and it's a red rag to a field of bulls should you give any decision against the team you are playing against. Would be lying if I said I hadn't given anything out against referees since.... but I do respect how difficult their jobs are at any level. Physical threats were certainly a possibility every time it became clear there were no referees available. Don't blame people who love the game but don't play not wanting to spend their sunday mornings/afternoons on the end of that kind of behaviour.

You would imagine it was a very short conversation.

For the benefit of those of us who are getting old and forgetful..........

It needs to be someone with some gravitas. We have a fractured squad, youngsters in need of leadership and a few newer players in need of some much needed confidence in what they have walked into. Jesse Marsch is not that man.

Benitez for me. Probably no chance mind.

And breathe.......... What an embarrassing footnote this will be on our history

Give him Caleta-Car, ABK, Lavia and Onuachu. Jaaskelainen must be able to be dug up from somewhere. Oh, and all the pints of wine he desires. Safety, done.

Phil Ifil was fun. Sh*t for us on loan, then had the pleasure of watching him play against our kids for Kettering Town in one of their last games at their old stadium Rockingham Road in 2011. What a fall.

I get where you are coming from. You need to put the poor f**ker out of his misery because it stops being funny after a while. Don't blame him for not resigning as the money for being sacked would basically set him, his children and his grandchildren up for life.

Whatever you are on mate..... Cut back.

Kasper, you want metrics to refer to.... This is the only metric that matters.

This will be a wonderful player who we have let slip. Burnley go up, we go down. He won't want to come back...... A major what could have been.

True, he was undone by his fundamental disinterest.

Jones is the worst, by virtue of his lack of humility and total absence of anything resembling ability, authority and the total collapse of the club's playing form in his short time in charge despite being given more money at his disposal then any manager in our history. Second highest spenders in Europe for heaven's sake. The only one to come close is Saggy, and even then at least didn't have the resources to play with.

Pellegrino all over again. If he isn't gone by the end of Monday, yeah, we are stuck in purgatory again.

Audible chants of 'Get out of our club' on SSN

This is worse then a loss as things stand. Jones will get a reprieve. As I say this, we do go 2-1 down

Went there for the first away game after relegation in 2005. Led 2-1 at half time. Lost 3-2.

Honestly, yes. The blokes on borrowed time, at least let him see it out in an entertaining way.

So much this.

Words to the effect of 'What the f**k have I signed for!?'

NJ: "Great morning of training, asked for aggression from my players, they delivered....." AB: "And the black eye you are now sporting....?"
