Looking at how the team spirit imploded - I think the team knew the owners have been on  the hunt since the West Ham game.

So a new appointment could be tomorrow as they have had a week.
I had a gut instinct the players knew Deano was gone already on Friday, despite us playing better in the second half, for what it's worth, and posted this in another thread.

I reckon they will go for Terry and Lampard.

Nobody ever goes for co-managers and neither would agree to be an assistant manager (Terry just left because he didn't want to be an assistant manager any more). So that won't happen.

If it did happen, though, would bookies pay out on both or neither?

Who were the last co-managers, Houllier and Evans?  An utter disaster.

He is the national coach of Denmark and was first mentioned in connection with the Villa job earlier this afternoon.

Regarding the mention's of Frank Lampard all I would say is that Lampard and Purslow would know each other from their time at Chelsea.

Did Djemba and Djemba ever go into management?

Didn't Venables come in and do something similar with Robson at Boro? That didn't work out too well either.

Curbishley and Steve Gritt at Charlton too.

Seeing as he isn't a ranter and raver, I did wonder if he attempted a Jedi mind trick at half time and said thanks for the memories and look after yourselves.   Not intending to bail at all, but to get a reaction.

We looked a different animal in that 15/20 minute spell after halftime.

Now you're talking.

Purslow out, Agrippa in! Gerrard probably supported Mark Antony, the daft twat.

Good historical reference there!  ;) Life certainly wouldn't be dull with Simone!

Why the hell are Ralph Hassenhuttl's odds so low?
