    Absolute shambles from the club to leak Ralph’s departure to the press.

    If it does happen, he deserves more respect than that

    The length of his studs away...


    Beckham's sending off, and Cambell's disallowed header in St Etienne in 98...

    So, are 88 people really still thinking Ralph should stay in post.

    Hmmmm, not sure that is so accurate.

    The new board has made some poor decisions so far with their messages to the press and failing to bring in a striker

    Toon fan here. I've got little insight into the merits of Ralph. All I'd say is that we won by better finishing - we took the few chances that we got.

    We've got a mean defence and you guys had a young defence today.

    Good luck for the rest of the season.

    2004 is the tournament that always got to me. Probably be last summer for the next 20 years though.

    Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

    You were class again today. Been a fantastic season for you boys and I genuinely hope you keep upsetting “the big 6”.

    It’s definitely accurate and there’s no need for a new poll.

    Yep, roger that. No need at all.

    In fact, there kind of isnt, as surely he has already been told.

    I have reluctantly changed my vote to out. I'm gutted as I loved his passion and commitment to the cause and had enjoyed the stability but I think now is the time, change it up, get some new signings in after the World Cup and hope to get that new manager bounce!

    Really wanted it to work out for Ralph, he did wonders for us during the dark days but it's not working this season for multiple reasons. Other managers have acted like absolute snakes and Ralph was different, but maybe that doesn't work so well in football!

    If it was to happen tonight, I suppose it would say a lot that it comes on the second anniversary of Ralph taking us top of the PL with a home win vs Newcastle.

    Not all his fault, of course. But these subsequent two years have been largely awful.

    Fair point! I was going off ‘nonsense’ and the fact Sutton has been very critical of the idea.
