Well he's not going to go anywhere until he's finished the job that's for sure.

Tomorrow morning he HAS to be sacked. God help us if he isn't.

I've given AML every chance i really have and whether he goes or not I don't know - this is Lerner we're talking about here where common sense is some odd thought process that other people do.

However, he absolutley MUST go at the latest seasons end but probably before.

I doubt Randy even knows what the score was yet, he's lost interest. Hopefully we will somehow scrape survival and he will sell up in the summer as he must realise that he's not up to it and his investment will only continue to lose value as he continues to mis-manage it.

we are fucked mentally. The lads in that dressing room have literally no belief and that starts from McLeish. We need a change now, put the assistants in charge, and appoint someone permanently in the summer.

I genuinely don't believe there is an option which, compared with keeping McLeish in post for the next three games, compares unfavourably.

It's time for McLeish to show some class and resign and admit that the job was to big for him.

Nail on head TV.
Infact, that belief went the second the penalty went in.
To concede so soon after scoring bordered on criminal, and the effect it had on us and them was incredible.

Yep, I would have more faith in the octopus that picked winners at the last world cup.

There's no way on earth RL will sack him now, absolutely none at all.  If we drop, he may do, but not before.  We're stuck with the twunt for 3 more games.

100% agree. It needs a shift in momentum somehow and a change of "tactic", if there are any at the moment. 3 games to play, one win needed against 2 up and down teams in terms of form and a very off form Spurs....Spurs will tear us a new one, regardless of how poor they are right now. Saturday needs to be the one...going down to the last game is too horrific to think about.

It's a far bigger gamble keeping him on...

When was the last time a manager resigned? it just doesn't happen, they wait to be sacked and pick up their pay off.

Isn't it dead? Either way, it'd still have more of a clue than McTwat.

No chance, he's spent the last few months trying to convince himself that it's only happened because of injuries, regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season all we'll hear from him is 'woe is me' tales of terrible injuries and bad luck until he's sacked.

Having watched his imterview on Sky he did not give the impression of a man under pressure. His words were "its still in our hands"
Someone please make sense of this madness!
