I also don't get the hostility towards Fat Sam. It's not like we've been playing scintillating, winning football for years. 

For atleast 4 years, we've been clueless and lose ALOT.  Someone on here mentioned that formwise we've been the worst side in the country for 4 years.  Just being hard to beat would be an improvement.



Reminds me a bit of the anti-Carrick feeling there used to be on here. I used to wonder quite what it was that made us think we were too superior for such a good player

No way. We need to not get relegated. At any cost.

Sherwood sat motionless for the last 15 mins !? Wtf is that all about
Out of interest how do you know this? It never crosses my mind to look at the managers bench to see what they are doing. Suppose it's different if they are in your line of vision.
He was in my line of vision.
He sat slumped and motionless with his arms folded for the last 15 mins plus 5 mins injury time.
He jumped up once after about 93 mins, clapped his hands, did a 'pearly king' jig and then sat down again.

You cannot Polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter. That's what Fat Sam will do, he can keep us up and then we can rethink matters.

Allardyce might be a decent shout if we were in a relegation spot after Christmas and simply needed someone competent to get us over the line, and he was one of a tiny number of candidates.

But it's only October. If Sherwood gets the bullet, there's still plenty of time and a transfer window for his replacement, so we should go for someone for the longer term.

Anything that requires thinking we will fuck up. There's no one at the club with a brain, who's going to set out a long term plan? Lerner? He's a moron who wants out badly. Fox? He thought the criticism of Lambert was wrong and played a part in handing him a new contract, also hired shit for brains Tim without interviewing anyone else.

Any suggestions then apart from big Sam?

As opposed to what we've been getting so far. We are shit, we play clueless shit football and we've consistantly lost more football matches than anyone else over the last 4 years.  Our home record in particular is beyond appalling, we've regularly lost Cup games to lower league opposition, broken numerous records for shiteness and the management teams have been an utter shambles.

Its been embarressing Yet we'd turn up our nose at Fat Sam.

Unbelievable.

We're going to be miles adrift at xmas at this rate, you need to give a new manager a reasonable chance.

When Sherwood came in we couldn't score a goal and were in a massive downward spiral but think it was only 2 points adrift to 17th.

At the moment it's 4 points and we're only just started October.

I said last week I give managers up to xmas and would do the same for Sherwood but I obviously don't factor in a team losing every single league game it plays. The outcome takes care of itself when that happens.
