BFR would do the trick until the end of the season.  Come to think of it  the BFG would have more a gameplan.

I still want to see what it will be like after this summer. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt by shipping out certain players and bringing in others. But he is making it almost impossible for people to support him if he keeps setting us up like that. It is impossible to watch, impossible to defend as a strategy.

I don't think it matters if he gets any money to spend, the stuff on display today is the shite he serves up, rain or shine.

I would take Bruce til the end of the season 'we've nothing to lose we are winning 1 in 4/5 game atm i'm sure he could do a bit better than that 'only until the end of the season mind! His scouts also find some cracking players too (If all goes well), it's unlikely but anyone?

In a word yes.


Said it elsewhere, he WAS growing on me. Tonight I hope was his Houllier at Liverpool or DOL everytime he spoke moment, where the majority of the fans turn on him.


He thought we played well, deserved something from the game and that HIS game plan was excellent. Fucking baffoon. We were dire. Get him out. Now.

Gary McAllister was a better manager.

If he does get a summer he's just going to buy players that look nice.. but in all reality he has no idea how to use them. Much like N'Zogbia, a very effective player in the prem, has seen little football and has been unable to make a big impact. We need an offensive coordinator.

The money to spend argument is negated by the fact that he currently manages to make the side look like so much less than the sum of its parts.

Today was a great example. N'Zogbia and Ireland on the bench.

To think he thought that was an excellent gameplan and that we were unlucky just beggars belief.

Who is out of work that could do it for 3-4 months.

Zola? Football and youth development would be good, and Wilkins is a damned good number 2.

No brainer for me, he has to go now. He's never done anything to suggest he's up to the job of managing us and I think it would really galvanise the home support, unite the club and give us hope if we just sent him packing and stuck K Mac and Sid in charge till the summer.

You might be right. I think he's had a battle against some rotting apples at the club that need to be gotten rid of. The question as you are pointing out is whether you trust him with the funds after that has been done?

No.

Ask me in 4 games time and it may be a different answer.

The more worrying thing is that if he really thinks we were unlucky, he won't hesitate to do the same again.

What happens when there's not four games to judge him by and we're driving to fizzy pop clubs on the weekend?

Out of the frying pan, into the fire, which is then eaten by a dog, which in turn is eaten by a dinosaur.
