We can look forward to Mick Mccarthy out foxing the thick fucking balloon.

Was thinking this on the walk back to the car the records of Sherwood, Lambert and Garde when they were dismissed.

Sherwood was sacked last season with 1 win in 10.

Garde left with 1 win in 9.

I think Lambert finished up with 1 win in 11.

RDM has 1 win in 7 and counting...

Let's remember aswell all those were at premier league level where we faced world class players every third game so losses were expected.

RDM has no such excuse particularly as he's spent a fortune.

Make no mistake this is not the drifting of the Lerner era either, Dr Tony will not be wasting time as he isn't going to be spending 50m year in year out to get promoted.

Way it's going I'd be surprised if RDM makes it to xmas.

Edit: That title thread reads like we're appointing Pulis!

He shouldn't make it to tomorrow morning.

I think that if Di Matteo had been a universally popular appointment, more fans would be patient with him. But - and I stand to be corrected - a lot of people were ambivalent with Xia's choice because there were more obvious options this summer.
Like?

There were other names mooted, such as Pearson and Moyes. I'm not saying I'd have preferred them necessarily, but I was certainly surprised when Di Matteo's name popped up.

Considering what a shit job both of those examples are doing, it's not really much of an argument that the wrong person was chosen in the summer.

Indeed.  The only thing that would make this current run worse, would be erm, having a worse run, and having Pearson as boss.  Damn, that's two things.

& Moyes didn't want it either.

Will not pulling the trigger and getting Bruce early be the same error as not getting Allardyce last season?

I'd give him the season personally, unless of course we do start to struggle. Sacking a manager 7 games in after giving him all that money would be embarrassing.

I'd rather be embarrassed than watch the clueless shite he's serving up.

Nigel Pearson. Guaranteed, nailed-on route to promotion apparently.

At least his teams fight every bloody minute of the game. Shit pressers though. He's mad!

He seems totally and utterly without a clue tactically. Our inability to close games down is now past piss taking levels. I'm not saying sack him yet, but when the boos start, the clock starts ticking.

Again, I didn't say I thought he was the wrong choice, just that there was one. I didn't think Di Matteo was the first name on everybody's lips.

No quite as embarrassing as flirting with relegation to League 1.

Derby are utter shite.

We are struggling big time. We can't win at home against the might of Huddersfield, Forest and Brentford. The same problem in all three games. Jesus christ. You think it couldn't get any shitter.

Sack the twat.

Stick with Di Matteo please. Changing manager every ten minutes doesn't seem to have helped Leeds.
This!
