His behaviour, tactics and selections are truly baffling. It's almost like he wants the fans to force the Chairman's hand, so that he gets the sack and gets a healthy pay out. His reputation wouldn't be damaged much either, because the media would claim the fans hounded him out unfairly due to his Blose connections. Call me cynical, but I don't think it's entirely unbelievable.

That's the way I see it too. He knows this will never go right for him so he may as well get a pay day out of it.

Yes it is indeed baffling the negative way he goes about games, but even more baffling than that is Lerner's decision to appoint him when he must have known full well that he used the same tactics at The Blues.

The problem is Randy doesn't really give a shit as long as we stay up.Problem is we may not even do that.Blues looked safe as houses this time last year with games in hand and then went into complete freefall.I can see us doing the same

[garyshawsknee]

I find his post match comments more depressing than his style of football,which is saying something. You can count the good performances on one hand this season.

Blues freefall had alot to do with Scott Dann's injury, an issue we shouldn't experience as we are not that reliant on a single player at the back.

[VillaAlways]

I think our own injury issues are a really worry.We have literally nobody who looks capable of scoring a goal at the moment Bent missing for us  is just as bad as Scott Dann missing for them.Charles is apparently out for a month also

Though our defence is so porous it could be argued that we were reliant on a single player up front - Bent.

However, I still don't think we'll get relegated. It's really not set in stone. As to why Eck is behaving the way he is? He no doubt believes the animosity towards him stems from the Blues connection, so therefore has never felt any challenge to his methods, outmoded and ineffective as they are.

Weimann looks a threat.  More of a threat than Emile any way.

There may be some truth in that, but they also spent the whole season earning themselves a reputation as an ambition-free embarassment, and it is this that we've seen for far too much of this season.

I'd like to know what would be less of a threat than Ivanhoe?

I actually see a lot of similarities, especially in that they looked 'safe' at this stage of the season. We are definitely not safe, and I don't see where our next win is coming from.

I could never see Blues getting relegated either I remember Alan Shearer saying they were safe on MOTD on 39 points Problem was they never won again and all the other teams around them did.The man has displayed he is incapable of motivating teams to battle when it matters but it's never his fault Got this off another forum

It's true, the way he washes his hands of performances is absolutely beyond belief.
