I think a decent manager and a goalscoring target man would. Of course finding those two is easier said than done.

What do these have in common: Nicholl -> Br*nf**t Sturrock -> Wigley Pearson -> Poortvliet Puel -> Current clown Four decent managers unfairly sacked, to be replaced by four disasters. 2 of those led to immediate relegation (and only MLT saved us with Br*nf**t), and a very real possibility of a third immediate relegation this time. Many of us warned about this happening. It's not a case of "I told you so" and being arrogant cocks, because I wish we had been wrong and Claude's replacement would've turned out to be brilliant. Get rid of the clown tomorrow, bring in someone like Nigel Pearson, along with a front man who scores, and we can still get out of this shit.

Yes indeed. It's so bloody obvious, a new manager and a goalscorer. And if Reed and co. don't see this they are incompetent beyond belief.

Agreed, me too. But if we are to lose tonight I hope it's bad enough to get the clown sacked and replaced with a manager who knows what he's doing. A hit on GD would be worth it if it results in someone competent taking over.

Good question!

Not necessarily. How many PL managers over the years have had the "dreaded" vote of confidence from their club's board only to be sacked a few weeks later?

But if the statue isn't in goal it will be harder for them to score a 25-yarder.

No, you can only bet your house.

Not if he came in disguise.

You can bet your house on Benteke getting at least one.

Also not the Wigley effect, or the Pellegrino effect.

They celebrate New Year in June down there don't they?

Puel out of the PL!!!!!

They both are capable of playing well, if coached properly (and in Redmond's case not stuck out on the left wing).

...

That's another clown that should've gone a long time ago.

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.
