Dr T has pulled the trigger

[pauliewalnuts]

I know eight games is nothing, and one voice in my head tells me sacking him now would be unfair. But then another reminds me we are eighteenth in the championship and look pathologically unable to win games

Regardless of whether he gets the sack or not, what we have seen so far is nowhere near good enough.

Oh and that "fickle" argument is bullshit. Look at the league table. We play awful sides week after week and have only beaten one. Even Newcastle have won a few

I appreciate the arguments against sacking him but to suggest we should not be extremely concerned now is fucking nuts.

I think we are far more tolerant of managers when we can see what they are trying to achieve. A recognisable, consistent playing style is always nice. RDM's Aston Villa is embryonic but I can't pretend I'm not worried. I thought with our spending power that this would be a short and satisfying interlude in the league below the one we actually belong in. Then I realised we'd actually failed to buy a half decent midfield and so wouldn't be quite that straightforward.

But our kids and French players straight off the plane put three goals past Forest at their ground, Rotherham are very poor and I don't get the Derby connection.

I'm sure there'd be a line of suitable managers a mile long who'd want to work for an owner that let their predecessor spend £50 million then sacked him three weeks after the window closed.

As long as the job came with the usual two or three year contract, of course there would be.

So we keep paying them out every time it dosen't go right after 8 games?

You're ignoring the cost of persisting with failing managers, which is far in excess of the cost of paying off a contract in most circumstances.

I didn't realise 8 games in was a faliure.

It is, unless you think where we are is acceptable. 

I don't think where we are is a sackable offence.

I think you and the likes of you are talking bullshit but il keep my thoughts to myself and try not to patronise anyone.

How's he talking shit?

We are looking worse by the game. He's in full on Sherwood mode. Today was our Stoke at home "let's try 352, because I'm fucking clueless and grasping."

We average a point a game, in a shit, shit league. We seem incapable of winning and that's the ingredients for a season of toil, struggle and potentially, relegation.

[Matt Collins]

ITS 8 GAMES AND WE'VE BASICALLY BOUGHT AN ENTIRE NEW SIDE

[aj2k77]

Only Preston, Cardiff and Derby have scored less, that's really poor.

8 games of relegation form. All this new side nonsense, how come Newcastle bought a factory full yet have managed to put 5 results together back to back, despite actually being weaker? Why are Huddersfield top with two factory loads of new players?

We are utter garbage.

[four fornicholl]

We are too big to go down.  Bollocks!!!
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.  True!!!
If you fail to plan you plan to fail, that's for you RDM,  True!!!

Good for you

I'm reacting to someone trotting out the boring "fickle" argument - which is about as patronising as it gets

4 wins from our last 48 league games.

Is it any wonder some folks are getting worried and don't have a shitload of patience? We're in Division 2 and still don't look capable of winning games on a regular basis. Despite playing at a lower level and having a load of new players all the weaknesses from the last few years still seem to be there, the only difference is the opposition are a lot shitter than in previous seasons.

[aj2k77]

It's that waiting for the team to gel like last season thing again isn't it. You can't gel with no game plan.

[brian green]

I am not bothered about being patronized.  I simply find it very frustrating when many of us who base our views on what we see have words like "hysterical" levelled at sincerely held attitudes.

This exactly.

But apparently you're being fickle because someone thought up a new song for the manager.
