    Yep, before the game I was feeling sorry for him. Now I cant stand seeing him on the touch line.

    Did Ralph disappear straight down the tunnel at FT?

    Would have been all jazz hands down the touchline had we snatched a draw.

    Idiot. Hardly cowardly. Fans want him gone and he knows.
    Ralph has done well for us overall but needs to go. Lets not act is if he has done anything but try his best to improve our club.

    No need for the personal insult there. I was going to give you a dignified answer but **** it.

    Fair enough, apologies.

    Shouldn't have said that you were an idiot, I meant to say that I thought it was an idiotic comment rather than you personally. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I still don't think a different manager will make much difference.

    It’s the only thing we can really try at this point though.

    All good.

    My original comment - if we'd have won, he'd have been lapping up the fans adulation. Those same fans he knows wants him out. He's a coward for not facing the music and thanking fans for their support. It's the least I would expect from the manager.

    Even Puel had the decency to go to the Northam.

    After a game like that and the season we’re having, there are going to be a few harsh words for the manager and players. Passions are running high and we have a clueless manager holding us back when we should be one of the most exciting teams of the Other 14.

    Think it would be almost adding insult to injury to applaud the fans as they boo him and demand he is sacked. I get what you mean but I think he has done well for us and always been good to the fans - often sending the players over at away games.

    It is a shame how it has ended but don't like to see fans lose all respect and attack him personally out of frustration.

    If you feel free to call RH a coward then complain then you are as described.

    No need for this. We all agree it’s time now, but please leave out the personal stuff.

    I don’t think the squad is good enough, but then the question has to be two things:

    1. Could another manager get more from this group?

    IMO, yes.

    2. Are the group aligned and do they hold belief in the manager?

    No.

    So you have to cut Ralph away now (or after Liverpool) and give them a fresh voice. And then get to January.

    I wouldnt call him a coward and expect him to engage me in conversation, nor would I call anyone anything on here and expect a response.

    I wonder how things would've panned out had Tino not been out all season and if we didn't lose Lavia when we did? Ralph said we have the making of a really good team and I think he is right.
