Dark Munster

His initials are M.P., and his first name is Mauricio. He's a mid-forties Argentinian with nice hair who managed an unfashionable club in La Liga. Well, that apparently was what got him the job in the first place.

Nigel Pearson. Bring him home.

Far too big a gamble, it's clear to anyone with half a brain that the clown is so out of his depth that relegation is almost certain with him in charge. Even if there's a replacement who isn't available until the summer, the only logical thing to do is to put in a semi-decent caretaker for the remaining matches to give us half a chance.

Uncanny resemblances!

Even if it is, by then it'll be curtains for us too.

He's probably getting prepared for a penalty shoot-out as we speak.

At least the captain went down with the ship. Those two bastards will ride off to a cushy job/retirement in Benidorm and Canada after we go down.

Newcastle show how a good manager is worth his weight in gold. Unfortunately we're stuck with one who's not even worth his weight in dung.

A sick-note, a non-scorer, and a has-been (due to injury). A massive hole up front that has been ignored over multiple windows. And of course we now can add the CB situation to the mess we're in. All overshadowed now of course by the non-sacking of the drooling, incompetent, imbecile clown of a manager.

Yes, another day of our belief being beggared.

Corrected for you.

Yes indeed. Someone like Puel.

Possibly. If the clown has been sacked by then.

Most people don't get paid millions despite being atrocious at their job, and also won't get paid millions in compensation if they're fired.

Better late than never. We're not adrift like We're Bottom Again. A semi-decent manager can still turn this shit around.

With his ability the best he could hope for is cleaning toilets. He'll never get a pay day remotely close to what he's getting now. He may be thick (really, really thick), but even he is not stupid enough to walk away from what remaining cheques he's still getting (plus the payoff when he eventually gets sacked).

Anyone seen this film? For some reason I can't get it out of my mind.

And the blame for that lies squarely with that **** Reed.

Hands up who'd prefer Gallagher (£0) over Carrillo (£20m)?

Saggy still holds the crown for me in the dislike stakes. But this thick clown is a close second. Redmond on the left, Tadic centre/right, and a non-scoring "striker" isolated up front. Again. **** me, I detest this bastard.

Yes indeed.

Reed's three biggest mistakes (chronological order): 1) Not addressing the chronic striker problem, window after window. In fact making it even worse by loaning out Gallagher, selling JRod and not bringing in any replacements. 2) Sacking Puel, in essence making him the scapegoat for 1) and our lack of cover with the CB situation (VVD injured and Fonte off). 3) Not sacking the current clown months ago. Plenty of other mistakes too (Fonte fiasco, Toby fiasco, not addressing the goalkeeper situation, etc.), but those the biggies, and why we are in the current mess. 1) and 3) are totally unforgivable. 2) can also be blamed on the players who helped force Puel out. Note I don't blame him for hiring the clown, since at the time it wasn't obvious what a total disaster he'd be. But there's no excuse for not firing him months ago, when everyone and their dog knew he was a thick, clueless, buffoon.

I miss Branfoot.
