Mat Kendrick article on how McLeish will be fired TODAY.

SSN confirm the meeting is during the next 24 hours.

Thank the McGrath for that - (what is kendricks % of getting thigns right? Surely they would not headline this is not true?)

Intersting when you look at our stats for the season and then see that both his ex centre halfs end up getting relegated!

Total wanker of a manager who i think will never get another top flight job

Kendrick was resigned to us being stuck with him awhile back, the complete 180 he's done recently is a good sign - and this is a great one. Tim Abraham has joined in now, saying all signs point to it happening today.

I really think his time is up.

The board can only make one right decision today, and that is to let him go. He should never manage in the premier league again.

The Mail are unlikely to go that big unless it's real.

I had a couple of good lines on this last week but didn't want to go blabbing it about, plus they were quite obviously 16 ton hints rather than explicit explanations so I didnt want to get ahead of myself. Everything I heard since then reinforces this story.

He's a goner alright. Let's face it, its way too late and not really a suprise.
The man is woefully out of his depth and a terrible appointment.

So is the meeting today or not? I would really like to start the week off on a massive high.

You're in Holland and asking us for a massive high? Fuck me, things must be bad.

It would be nice so I can get on with some work rather than checking out the latest on here every five minutes!!!!

I'd wait to see who they appoint before you get the bunting up.

I am under no illusions that whilst there is a possibility of him being sacked today, my work effort will be severely compromised.

Not hard to improve on him though!
Saying that, I hope this board to have the brains to get someone decent in and have learnt from this.
