Couldn't agree more.

Thats the one and they were in a league below us.

I for one will be delighted if Wotte turns things around, just enough to survive. I will reluctantly give RL the credit, but will still wonder why he didn't start with him. From what I can recall, the appointment of Pearson got a similar response as Wotte's. That is because on both occasions we were heading for the drop with the predecessors, so any changed would have seemed an improvement. This season is almost identical to last years situation. One got it right, the other remains to be seen.

Only if he can play right back.

Who was in charge when we lost 7 v 1 to Watford in cup game ?

I thought he was hounded for picking them in the first place.

Or maybe 'expect' rather than 'suspect'.

Feck me I got confused with the Reading lad. You can have that one Jonah. Thats 1 v 1 now.

Not backing his managers( presume you mean financially) and picking the wrong managers are two totally different subjects. Crouch may well have been cautious about offering Pearson a long contract at the start and rightly so, we have seen to many wrong managers appointed in recent years. On this occasion I think he got the right appointment and would have preferred to see him continue. Lowe picked JP and was clearly the wrong appointment again. The buck stops with him.

Fixed it for you.

Its good to see Jonah try and talk football matters, but I think finances are his strong point. Pearce was signed by JP not Pearson.

And 3 pussies.

Hopefully tommorrow then. Just hope he hasn't lost it.

As someone else pointed out, if we had given NP a long contract and he failed to be up to the task, we would have had to pay compensation which we couldn't afford. It has been said that Pearson was offered the job util the end of the season and if he kept us up he would have had it extended.

If it is true, which I doubt, we will at last get DMG out of the team.

Yet you were in the anyone but Crouch camp were you not ? Lowe hasn't done any better either.

You should read all the responses and not just the ones you wish to include. Some very feasable answers and explanations if you look.

I'm not criticising Wotte. He will be judged at the end of the season in the same manner that I did with Pearson. But like Pearson, my first thoughts are its a bad mistake but will be happy to be proved wrong.

Why measure his last 8 games ? Why not his last 5 ? That is when his influence looked to have been installed.

I agree, Wotte will have to do better than Pearson, but if he does do as well as Pearson and we go down, the question should be why was he not given the job to begin with ? It wont be Wotte that the fans will blame, if he gets us back to where we were heading with Pearson. It will be Lowe for appointing JP ahead of him.

Yet some sensed given another season he would have kept us up again, maybe not magnificent, but right now (and at the beginning of the season) most fans would happily have settled for just OK. But his results now at Leicester have proved what many at the end of the season thought he was capable of. As you would say Nick, his results would now put him in the magnificent bracket.

Yes I would, but the damage has been done and left Wotte in a lot more trouble than last season.

Where as West Brom away, Bristol City and Sheff Utd were easy games. If we had been getting 9 points from 8 games this season we would be on 36 points now. That would put us 10th from bottom. Yet you think that wasn't good enough, well look at the tables now Nick and tell me what a great decision our great leader has made.

And it was alleged he was kicked, so that rules DMG out as he would have scuffed the ground.

Careful, your starting to sound like the other half of a famous double act we had on here a few years ago before they went to Bournemouth.
