I wouldn’t say zero chance he’ll be fired. I’d put it much, much lower than that.

There is absolutely no chance of them getting rid at the end of the season, none whatsoever.

Agreed, there's more chance of me getting married to Zendaya after the end of the season.

I was actually quite pleased with Gerrard today. We went to Leicester and executed a decent game plan, especially out of possession. More composure up front and we’d have won. He’s not going anywhere

I think there's more chance of Paul Lambert succeeding Putin.

There is every chance. Edens in particular is ruthless and he will be asking questions, if that you can be sure. If Gerrard doesn’t show some life in these last 6 games, I’d bet he’ll pull the trigger on SG and CP

No, there's not. You've turned into a anti-Gerrard zealot over 4 games.

You said it would be ludicrous to get rid at the end of February, we then won 3 games on the bounce. On the basis of the following 4, you've turned. You should be overjoyed tonight, given you thought we'd be shovelled.

As Paulie says, you're more likely to see Lambert describing Russian performance on Ukraine as excellent, than Gerrard be sacked.

He's our manager, get over it.

I think most of us accept that he's our manager. He doesn't appear to be very good at it though.

Back when I used to work for other people (shudder), when I started a new job I had to prove that I could hit the targets I'd been set before I passed my probationary period (3-6 months). If I didn't I was unceremoniously fucked out of the building. Gerrard has been here for six months - what has he done to prove that he can hit his targets?

Yes, the football manager game, notoriously easy to judge after a few weeks or months. A false equivalence.

How long did Sherwood or Garde last?

Edit: or Di Matteo?

And were there many people demanding they be given more time? I can't recall there being any dismay at them being fucked off.

For the record, I don't think NSWE will get rid of Gerrard this summer. That said, given the situation last summer, (losing ratboy) I'd have thought they'd have given Dean Smith more time.

Sherwood lasted a while. 16 minutes into the game at Southampton, with Mane having scored his hatrick, I think perhaps his mask slipped and crashed.

Di Mateo was too aloof and the club still far too much of a mess and everybody far too impatient to get back. Was it the right decision? Ultimately his successor failed too, but he also sorted out the attitudes. Would RDM have done that?

Garde was the worst manager we've ever had because while the club may have given in, so did he. That losers mentality is corrosive and I detest it in people.

How many chances are we going to get at spending big and aiming for Europa/UCL?

MON had the last one where there was a genuine chance for UCL, and blew it. I'm not happy giving the next attempt to a novice who hasn't really shown me anything to say he's up to it. If it goes tits up, who knows if we'll have another big run at it.
