A manager who's never been relegated with a proven track record of turning round teams who are performing badly, getting worse, looking like they may well go down and preventing them from going down? Yeah, what could he possibly improve.

The battering we stand to receive in that game is terrifying. Definitely worth one of these As for Everton we simply have to win.

Sack the manager

Expected the rise to come to an end - that bit was obvious. However, did not expect such a steep decline and nor do I think it should be happening given the quality of our squad.

Possible that all candidates got told they would have to work with the existing backroom (£ reasons) and MP was the only one who agreed.

You are of course correct. You have been warning against complacency for years whilst all those around you remained with their heads planted firmly in the sand doubting, even mocking, you. You are now being revealed in your true light as a visionary soothsaying genius.

Agree to an extent but unfortunately the manager was also brought in during that "incredible window"!

What makes it even worse is his interviews indicate he actually seems to think it's going quite well and we've just been unlucky.

No sign of anything whatsoever from the Chinese chap. Bit worrying really, would prefer at least a nuanced press statement that he's not happy with how it's going currently.

The problem with this argument is that every player on that list has proven at different times in their careers that they are capable of playing well and being good attackers. They have ability, it's up to the manager to motivate them and set the team up to take advantage of those abilities.

Did he really say that? FFS what an utter ***t this man is.

It's not the result, it's the performance. Didn't expect to win but a bit of fight, a goal, even a hint of looking like scoring might soften the blow. We got none of these.

It's a real tough one but I suppose I'd just about have to say 100 per cent OUT.

Sit your excitable arse down knobhead.

Sure he could be persuaded with the right offer. We need a rescue act to try to claw ourselves out of the mess this utter clown has left us in.

Allardyce. At least for the rest of the season.

Never been more sure of anything in my saints supporting life than the fact that this idiot is utterly hopeless and needs to be sacked.

I think it may have been pony.

For "back up" read "last resort".

Both of their games rely (relied) heavily on pace. Torres lost his years ago due to injury, Walcott less clear cut but has been seriously injured, can't get back in Arsenal's team and would be a major gamble. We need players with genuine pace not players who used to have it but definitely or probably don't anymore.

Wouldn't be noticed as much possibly but would definitely still be noticed. His current level of cr@pness would would not go unnoticed even if his mistakes didn't keep costing us points.

Everything Everything - A Fever Dream

Haha genuinely funny that.

"Available for immediate start"

Agree completely except it's more a case of careering head first into a relegation battle eyes wide open.
