    Seems a lot of the players genuinely didn't like him, for whatever reason. It's why I'm still not terribly upset that we made a change.

    The problem was replacing him with a defensive-minded coach from a tiny club, and then proclaiming that he was going to lead us to glory as an attacking outfit. Completely insane appointment at the time; doubly so seeing it in full effect.

    You can only blame Reed and co for past decisions I’m afraid.
    As I said in previous posts Mr Reed is accountable for our problems and he should be asking himself some really big questions.

    Play the entire youth team at Fulham. I couldn't give two ****s about the FA Cup.

    If MP does go, they HAVE to get an experienced PL manager in, not another 'new European face'

    Can anyone seriously think we are going to start winning matches with this genius at the helm. F!ck I wish I had a long holiday coming up to get away from all this.

    Come on Les, let’s see how you deal with the bad times. OR are you that much of a coward.

    Utterly predictable.

    Well done Roy and Palace. Showed how to use tactics and substitutions to turn a game around.

    My fear is that our board are even slower to make subs than our manager.

    He needed to go about a month ago. He really needed to go a fortnight ago. He desperately needs to go now.

    I can just see Les/Ross/Ralph all dawdling over our transfer activity this month because they don't want to 'overpay', lots of rumours fly about, Jeremy Wilson puts out an article saying we're working hard on XYZ. We sneak in a deadline day loan deal for Walcott and Simon Peach tweets something about that being all our business done for January.

    Nah. They just have to get a half decent manager. Doesn't matter where from. The players we have are perfectly capable, and with a couple of additions and a motivated side, we'll be fine.

    Where does this Reed 'ego' thing come from? Have I missed something.

    I would prefer a Brit to be honest.

    Eddie Howe, Rowett or Bruce for me.

    We're in a world of poop when we're congratulating Roy ****ing Hodgson for outsmarting us.

    I’d have Kelvin manage the team against Fulham. He might even get some passion in the side.
