    No idea what their board is thinking.

    Came up with a team full of Championship standard players and have barely strengthened it.

    Got to be going straight back down now!

    He'll get another Championship job quite quickly now.

    Sunderland might got for him.

    I read on the BBC that he was a bit too honest in his comments after the game. If you are manager of Gillingham you can get away with calling the players shhitte, but when it's a Prem side it's only going to go one way. Still good for his own experience and before his next job, maybe buy the bullshitters guide to success, afterall Klopp does it every week. <whistle>

    Almost certain they will, that squad is dogshit by Prem standards. 4 games in and canning the manager that got you back into the Prem having not given him any legitimate signings? Bullshit move by the board.

    Yeah he’ll have plenty of suitors that’s for sure.

    I think it’s refreshing when managers speak the truth too.

    Conte did with us and all the fans fully backed him which is probably why the board made a number of early summer signings, lol.

    Parker was right when he said they were under equipped. That team screams “back to the Championship we go” and the only two noticeable signings they’ve made is a 33 year old keeper who’s been a backup the last 3 years and our former academy player Fredericks, who’s been a backup RB at West Ham the last few years, both of them free transfers. The **** are they honestly thinking? <laugh>. None of the promoted teams are guaranteed safety but Fulham and especially Forest have at least attacked the market with the right intent.

    At some point (maybe its now) Bournemouth will actually have to operate under their gate receipts instead of bank rolled and they'll slide back down to League 1.

    Crazy decision.

    Few are going to go this year!

    Loads of pressure after only a few games.

    Gerrard up against it too.

    How long until Lampard gets it?

    Couldn't say ... club's not a happy place at the moment for sure ... don't expect anything to happen until after the transfer window shuts ... but 2 or 3 games after that could well give an indication of how the season will pan out and if results haven't improved ... well....

    Not the best time to play a resurgent United perhaps ... but there were quite a few encouraging signs against Chelsea, albeit we came away with nowt in the end ...

    yea just really. We don't need a another weak midget diving winger with no end product.

    To get rid of boyband cheeky chappy gallagher who is a better player is a joke
