My worry isn’t whether this board would sack Dean, because I can’t see that they would. I’d be more worried that they’d consult heavily with the Spanish Richard Madeley to fill the gap and god only knows what he’d suggest.
If Allardyce was brought in tomorrow, I don't think anyone - on here or elsewhere - would doubt our chances of survival. The fact that there isn't a collective howl for it to happen is indicative of how problematic an appointment that would be!
I believe if we tried to fat Sam shithouse or way to safety we'd do no better as defensively we are too weak and get overwhelmed. From individual errors to the midfield not working hard enough to provide cover. That's not denigrating fat Sam, he's good at what he does I just don't think he'd have the tools at his disposal here.. I think we are what we've known for 5 months. Fucked. The light at the end of the tunnel is we will be in a better position to bounce back next time. A more stable leadership, less negative influences in the squad and a more secure financial position.

I don't want Allardyce, ta. I know beggars can't be choosers but I don't want a manager who thinks he's doing us a favour. Go down if we must, but if that means we get in somebody who is excited about making us a successful, dynamic and tactically relevant side, so be it.

The only chance we'd have is for somebody to come in and get Jack and SJM firing again, but just can't see it happening.What a monumental balls up this season has been. An average, uninspiring Championship manager trying to coach players mostly bought for him by somebody without a single clue about the standard of player required for the Premier League.
Agreed, nothing else is working and I think Davis and Samatta could work well off each other with Jack behind them. A classic 4-4-2. We must be braver for the Barcodes game. We wont though. NylandGuilbert Engels Mings Targett Luiz/NakambaHourihane/Luiz McGinn Grealish Davis SamattaAEG and Tez have had their go and consistently not performed. Luiz plays just not sure where, would prefer him further forward tbh. Guilbert gives us pace which they do have out wide, other than that they are as pedestrian as we are. This team gives us a better chance of getting a win imo.
You have been keen for Smith to go at a few points this season, as have I, but if the squad is just not good enough, do you think it would have made enough difference?
