We need someone in quickly before the transfer deadline. Go get Allardyce may not play attractive football but he wins games.
No that would be another hasty mistake.

He's lost himself. Needs to go.

Anyone take Pardew for the rest of the season? Usually gets a quick response, would jump at the chance and arrogant enough to pull it it round.

Absolutely has to go.

We are worse than last season and that is saying something.

We are shit. It's his team. He spent loads in January. He cannot get a tune out of his team. Not good enough, not fit enough, dinosaur tactics from a pub side manager. Go tonight.

He's had two windows, has been backed by loads of cash [the Man City of the championship] and has had 40 games. What a total disappointment; I bet he'll regret not at least trying to be a little progressive.

He shouldn't go just yet.

Let him do the media stuff. Then bin him.

Midnight at the latest.

In ten months Bruce has taken us from third bottom to 2nd bottom having spent a fortune = that says it all really.

He can't get more than 5-10 minutes out of his team. I liked him, but the footballs appalling and I see no progress. He is likely to go.. Fans will turn at home soon.
