    Why not - these guys need to be given some fire in their bellies, look what he did at Sunderland, who will get us to play with spirit for 18 games, things are getting desperate. I think 18 games is okay, not too long for Rot to alienate them all. I like Martin, ( but being in PC , we need bit of a bully boy for a short time to sort the rabble out and start again in June)

    I've no idea what he might have been up to off the pitch, if that's what you mean. I don't read the tabloids.

    Yep that’s true Liam, TSS must be mixing me up with some other gobby twat :) I have always backed the Board, as I felt that their decisions hadn’t been as disastrous as a lot of people made out at the time. Even this summer I think they only missed the striker/attacking player signing.

    I have however said from the moment
    I went to the Watford game that I saw less of a plan under MP2 than under Puel and felt he was not the right man for us.

    <laugh> Did he? I thought there might have been some scandal involving Pearson and an ostrich in a Bangkok nightclub.

    Yeah he did... Wasn't actually having a dig at you ffs <laugh>

    And I didn't hear about a scandal like that but we can pretend it happened if you want for the sake of comedy.

    Not for me. We need a manager who can work out who to bully and kick, whilst taking a different approach to get the best out of Tadic and Boufal.

    I still think that’s key. Get those two buzzing and everyone as tight as a ducks derrière.

    I’m going to keep saying ‘throw sacks of cash at Tuchel, or get Martino’ until we inevitably employ someone else.

    Even with the squad as it is, sort the defence along with getting them two going and we'd probably be challenging top half.

    The squad needs work but that shows how little Pellegrino is getting out of it.

    I wouldn’t want Keane as manager. We could possibly do with a Keane type player in the dressing room, someone to rally the troops and point the finger at those who aren’t trying, but I don’t think Keane’s done much as a manager.

    Okay you do that and I'll continue to say Pellegrino is woefully out of his depth until we act :)

    We absoutly should have taken Hoddle back in 2004. Why did we not. Because he went to Spurs because he was doing a good job. And then the the fans don't want him back, it made me despair of the intelligence of our fans

    If we got Peter Bosz I’d be cautiously okay (prefer the other two). If we got Garry Monk I’d be very concerned. If we stick with Pellegrino I’ll be wondering how much cheaper a season ticket will be in the Championship.

    Why would he want to come to us? And why we would we want to make enemies out of our neighbours for a gamble that has every chance of not coming off?

    Bosz is probably a more realistic one I'd say.
