When do we start the discussion about the appropriate time to boo?

Frank de Boer would be my choice

I really think that he should be facing the sack now. It's not just the results, it's the fact that we're getting worse by the game.

There aren't even games where we've been unlucky to lose. You could argue we deserved to beat Sunderland but every defeat has been merited and we could've been knocked out of the League Cup by Small Heath or Notts County.

A win seems like a distant dream, let alone a run of three of four good results in a row we need to get our season going.

Moyes would be really uninspiring. All the more so because it feels like exactly the appointment we'll make when the time comes.

Agreed, we need a more inspirational choice, Southampton and West Ham are good examples

Not only that...but when the manager publicly states that it's getting worse and doesn't know what his best formation and lineup is then surely that should set off more than a few alarm bells with the decision makers at the club. I hope they have been listening and watching because the decision is quite a simple one to make.

Exactly we should have beat Sunderland who have been the worse team in the league and we can;t argue with the other results.

He deserves to be being lined up for the sack on the results alone but the unbelievable downward twist he has added to the shameful record of his predecessors is that he appears to be moving into an alternative reality zone.   

When McLeish trumpeted a home draw from the rooftops and Lambert described an abject defeat as "brilliant"  you knew it was lying arse protection pure and simple. When Sherwood fantasises about lulling the opposition into a false sense of security by playing badly deliberately that is entirely a different matter. That is Monkey Tennis and he is Alan Partridge.

Was Graham Turner as bad as Sherwood?

He is the worst manager I can remember in charge of our club and I'm struggling to think of a worse one to be honest who has managed in the top division.

Di Canio, Alan Perrin (Portsmouth), must be a few others

I'm not sure of any industry that promotes someone with zero experience and put them in charge of spending 50m over a summer.

timmy would be better suited to hanging around with Jeff Stelling on sky sports saturday with Merse, Charlie Nicholas and the boys

I agree entirely with your last sentence. Sherwood would be absolutely right for Sky Sports. Unfortunately at the moment he is our manager.

But we can hope.!

I'm not one for rushing getting rid of managers, was prepared to continue with Lambert right up until the Hull defeat because there were glimpses, but for me, Timmy's time has come. We are only heading in one direction. Clueless, totally outplayed by Stoke, can't decide on his best formation or best team.

When he first came to the club, he got midfielders running into the box to support the attack, that has stopped. It's all too slow and deliberate. Why play one pass when you can play three, the little one twos in midfield which are just pointless and slow the whole thing down. Grealish needs a kick up the arse, too slow and poncing around, typified by having the option to play Amavi in straight away so that he could deliver a cross but no, decided to fanny around before playing him in by which time the space has been closed down.

We have lost our tempo and forward threat that he brought to the club. I'm afraid that I think we are going down if he stays

Another worry is that we have dropped a lot of points from clubs you expect to be around us. Losing to Stoke, Boggies at home and drawing with Sunderland...that is bad.

It is every bit as bad as McLeish and Lambert.  We seem to have done the impossible and found the perfect set of incompetent managers.

We have good players - I firmly believe that this squad is capable of a mid table finish, however the manager simply isn't good enough.  We need to make our move now, before it's too late and get someone in who can organise this team and get them playing to their strengths.  If we don't, you can bet that Sunderland/Newcastle will, and we'll end up rock bottom and doomed before we even get to January - then no-one will want to come.

Time for our much-feted DOF to earn his corn.

Our dithering board (how many members?) should act this week and get rid. Simply out of his depth especially tactically and formations. But they won't act. Useless from top to bottom.
