Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Clampy]

Rowett's done really well at both his clubs so far but yeah, it would be a risk we can't take.

JP - is it tomorrow yet?

yes I thought he's gone a bit down low too after his teasing yesterday

I'm not taking the piss, just read everything today so not sure if I've kept track.

Why on earth are you obsessed with Jack, Gill, Gestede and Ayew?  If there's any chance of progression over the next few seasons then 3 out of those 4 will have to be long gone.

I'm baffled, which three? The youngster who has only just broken into the first team and looks a great prospect, the midfielder who has barely been given a chance but has looked the most creative player in the side on the few occasions he's been given a start, or the two new signings with a few games between them?

I actually think we've got a decent squad, certainly stronger looking than last season but we lack anybody with the know how to get the best use out of it.

I don't want you baffled.

Grealish is (potentially) a great player.  The other three, in my opinion, are poor.

In terms of the squad/team, I take a admittedly simplistic view. 

The only time our form last season was acceptable and consistent with a mid table side was when Benteke, Delph, Cleverley and Grealish were playing well.  Three of those have gone and not been replaced with players are of the same quality.  Additionally for all the changes at the back we are still conceeding goals at about the same rate as last season.

On that basis, we are the same at the back, worse in midfield and worse up front.

"[Brendan] Rodgers is one of the favourites (3/1) in the betting to replace Sherwood. The Ulsterman is reportedly looking to make a sharpish return to the dugout, and may be tempted by a move to the Midlands, should Sherwood be axed. However, it's the under-fire Real Sociedad manager David Moyes now leads the way at 1/3, while Nigel Pearson is also in the mix at 10/1."

Some pretty uninspiring names on the list of potential new managers on that sackrace site, but Aitor Karanka seems to be doing a decent job at 'Boro and maybe worth a punt if we could prise him away

I really wanted it to work for Tim, he won me over after thinking he was a bit of a twat before he took the job - I'm struggling to find a reason to back him now.

Add to our great file of untried and untested managers.

Can't believe McLeish is even on that list.

Looks as if it's just a matter of when rather than if, now.

Yet another huge dollop of compo to spew up. Shame for TS, I think he definitely deserved a crack at it after keeping us up last season, but from his comments about the players not being his preferred signings, he looks to have painted himself
Into a corner from which it will be very difficult to escape.

Does anybody trust the senior management to get in a decent replacement?
