Dark Munster

Excluding of course ones so bad that they never played in the first team (Tommy Fourpast). I'll see your Kelvin and raise you a Frannie.

Yep.

These two in particular. Wingers, playmakers and a VVD replacement are all well and good, but the priorities (in order) surely must be: 1) New manager 2) Goalscorer 3) Non-statuesque goalkeeper 4) Replace Dave Watson and his hair to properly coach 3)

If true, they at least now are finally aware of the top priority. (Well, apart from replacing the clown, of course). Better one and a half years late than never I suppose.

Nigel Pearson. Currently employed, but should be available for a very modest compensation to his Belgian club.

Shorter version: he's a crap manager.

I suspect you're completely wrong. But of course no-one will ever know.

My guess is it was the overpaid pampered players who were about 90% responsible for Claude's sacking.

Good God no. Then we'll be playing with 11 statues on the pitch. He needs to go along with the clown.

We're headed for the championship with this clown in charge.

You forgot to mention him:

So many straw man arguments there that I feel a hay fever attack coming.

If we lose let's hope it's by a big enough score to finally convince the board to get rid of the clown.

Yep, I now wouldn't be very upset if we go out playing with reserves, if it ultimately means survival. Unthinkable 6 months ago. God, that's how low this clown has dragged us.

An Argentinian version of Gray. Completely and totally out of his depth. He should've been sacked weeks ago.

There are enough cherries there for a big pie.

My thoughts too. And it could've undermined a manager who's trying to push them harder. It's a bit like one parent letting their kid eat junk food all day, and the other trying to get him to eat his veggies and lay off the Mars bars and crisps. A losing battle. Any resemblance to the Munster family is purely coincidental.

If that's correct that's a shit load of circumstantial evidence that he's crap, and we are well rid of him. At the very least I think it's safe to say we haven't lost a brilliant coach.

But he still hasn't been right yet. My money's on the broken clock.

And Puel was sacked because he was unpopular with the players. I think the moral to be learned is that we need a quality manager who won't take shit from the players (RK certainly had that) and not be their best mates. And get rid of Black.

He would be great, but I'd prefer Ronaldo or Messi.

Watson I presume.

Fixed it for you.

Hazard was bearing in at goal at full flow, not a cheap free kick. Maya got booked for it, not because it was nasty (it was soft), but because it was done to stop a goal-scoring opportunity. A cheap free kick was the one that led to the first Man City goal against us.
