Like almost every continental football manager where the president or/and the board buy the players and the manager gets to work out how best to use them.

think we tried it last season, not an overwhelming success if I remember correctly.

Of course Cortese doesn't pick the team, that's just a dumbass theory dreamt up by those who refuse to accept that NA doesn't really know what he's doing.

Bearsy has probably gone the way of many a young poster...he's either discovered girls or work or both..

how can he take another job when he has a contract until 2015 with us, Blackpool would never be able to afford the compensation. Until NC decides he can leave he's not likely to go anywhere.

probably does a couple of fashion shows for Yves St Laurent and Christian LaCroix, at least when he's not putting in more tackles and interceptions than every other player in our side. Needs to clear off out of it to a side where he gets better support than from the useless Davis and the powder puff Lallana.

Well I think it's those making the assessment who don't have the clue really. Allardyce is obviously a decent manager and we'd do well to get someone like him if we want to start out on the road to premier league success. I really really don't think NA is going to make the grade. Whether that's because he himself has set out his stall to play entertaining football or a Barca fixation has been imposed on him (something a real manager would never let happen) it just doesn't matter. I've never understood why we sacked Pardew and wish he was still here, whatever he'd done couldn't be as grave as the mess we're making now.

Now I'd say that the definition of your average Premier League manager is someone who realises that not losing is at least as important as winning. Allardyce is a Premier League manager, people seem to hate him and everything he stands for but his sides are hard to beat. Unattractive certainly but me, I'd just as soon a shady 1-0 win or a 2-2 borefest as getting done 2-0 at home all the time but amusing the fans. I want a manager who knows how not to lose to start with, the rest will follow.

Pity that leftback was so soon banned, probably the nearest thing we've ever had to the real workings of SFC.

this is the right side and the one that should have played on Monday last (if Cork was fit of course) Davis is poor and is turning all those around him into mediocre players as well. It's Lambert or JROd and certainly not both.

perhaps Cortese remembers what happened the last time he sacked a manager(a manager who's side finished in the top few of the PL last season I might add) with no replacement lined up. If so it at least shows that someone in our organisation has learnt from past mistakes. Pity the manager hasn't done the same thing. Lambert + Rodriguez+Lallana+Ramirez away from home is just crass stupidity and the fact that NA is generally well thought of by the fans is what gives rise to the idea that he doesn't pick the team.

As we've lost 8 out of 10 already there is absolutely no reason to believe that Swansea will be anything different. Always hopeful though, I always believe we'll win our next game.

Just can't quite see why it's taking so long myself. Should have been gone weeks ago, the longer it takes the worse it will get. Just finished looking through the WBA game again, side is totally demoralised and as the Mail piece says, plenty of them know Adkins is finished with us.

Lallana has had some very poor notations on whoscored of late. According to them he was only noted better than Gazza on Tuesday night.

I'm beginning to think that quite a few of our players are devestated by our start, in particular those who've waited so long for PL football.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that we're getting a little bit worse with every game that we play? Perhaps we're playing with injuries and stuff.

what on earth would QPR want Adkins for, do they want to be in the NPC next season, exploring new horizons or something?

not from me, he's had his chance and has screwed it up.

He needs to be sacked (and has been) for a while because his gung ho entertain the fans systems are destroying the players. Only an idiot would align Lambert,Rodriguez,Lallana and Ramirez away from home. Just sack him soonest if you please Mr C and let us get on with becoming a real PL side and not a bunch of fancy nancies. We should be doing what West Ham are doing. Who cares if their fans boo them, theyt'll be in the PL next season and we won't if NA is allowed to carry on with his suicidal systems.

depends if we've got the 2 million + £ to pay him off

should have happened after the Everton game

are we winning then !

still be in the bottom 3 though.

and would leave us at least 5 points adrift of 17 place with a GD of minus 17.As Reading play QPR tomorrow we'll probably be rock bottom if we don't win as well.

Getting the impression that the PL is more about managers than players.
