I want him to succeed, but if he does then it's going nothing to do with how good Taylor was.

I still think some people are clearly in denail about how big this rebuild job is and how hard it's going to be to get out this league anytime soon.

Give it a chance FFS, it was always going to be a BIG job, just throwing money at it isn't going to make it any easier for a new team to gel. It's going to take time, it always was

I still think it could take three seasons. And no amount of changing managers/players is going to change that.

No rebuild job is going to work if a manager makes the simple errors like this one.

Why are we convincing ourselves that this is a big job?

This league isn't difficult.. we are just absolutely pissing away opportunities. We could be top of the league if we showed any sort of gumption and/or discipline.

On paper our squad should be banging 4 goals a game, and against Forest it finally looked like our ability to create chances was beginning to evolve into something.

We go out and we buy a few captains, a few goalscorers and those with the experience of promotion. It shouldn't take players for their "quality" to gel in order to thump fucking Brentford at home. I'm not going to slate RDM but he is coming off as very limited.

It's ridiculous that supporters think this is going to be difficult. I'm sick of hearing that the Championship is a marathon. Go out there, score a couple goals against the absolute trash that fills this league and get on with it. We let that ginger kid boss our midfield yesterday, its embarrassing. Get Westwood of the pitch, he's one of the few remaining constants in this plight of misery.

We're the biggest club in the Championship, and no one is scared to come to VP and steal points. It's bullshit.

My biggest worry with that is that given the massive increase in "prize" money that even clubs relegated from the PL will now receive, (£91m for bottom, is that about right?), as early as next season we could, could, effectively have a top division of 23 clubs, with the relegated clubs in the unimaginably enviable position of being able to chuck literally tens upon tens of millions at getting straight back up without the need of a backer.

The sooner we're up, the better.

And I couldn't give a toss about how we achieve it.

3 seasons to get out of a comedy division like this? Maybe with clueless managers in tow yes. Anyone half decent being bankrolled will stroll this division.

I sort of agree with both.
The club has / is being rebuilt and we have had much more to do than Newcastle, Norwich - new owner, board, management team, shit squad to overhaul. However, when you look at the matches we have played, we should have more points than we have now. RDM has to sort this pattern out of throwing away points.
I wasn't expecting to go up this season before this season stared but I wanted us at least to progress - off the pitch it has but on the pitch, no...so far.

See when you write it down I almost believe it will happen but then I watch it and it doesn't.

Totally agree that with some alternative tactics, good fitness, wise substitutions, discipline, a decent work-rate and the correct team on the pitch we will mash teams up every week...

Tim was sacked on my birthday, October 25th. I went up the day before to watch them against Swansea and last night and similarities to then.

I would like him to be given roughly the same time at least, 7-8 more games which takes us up to the game against the gypos on Oct 30th.

When they talk about sacking the manager and mentioning relegation, it's panic.
