    If we were winning games and climbing the table we'd probably be a bit like the Luton fans and think he may be a **** but he's our **** and revel in the fact that oppo fans hate him. He went way too far in that interview though and effectively signed his own death warrant.
    Nicola Cortese apparently treated staff and club legends appallingly and was an arrogant SOB but he was like a god to some because of our success. Don't get me wrong though I appreciate his vital role in the club's renaissance.

    Wouldnt it just be cheaper to buy a bag of smack? Short buzz, then days of depression and suicidal thoughts?

    I've slept on this and thought about it..., we've had some truly rubbish managers in my time, I'm saying Harry redknapp, Sturrock and Pelegrini and not one of them has made me feel this much anger and total lack of empathy for someone... he is a complete and utter twat. Not only will he relegate us but he'll destroy our team from inside out.

    Are we all thinking he’ll be here for the Wolves game?

    Surely the gods of football should decree that should be Nuno’s first game in charge for us?

    I’d take almost anyone except Lampard or Gerard.

    Lage, Nuno or Bielsa would all be huge upgrades.

    Yeah, I’m of the opinion he’ll get the Wolves game as a bare minimum. Another humbling, coupled with fan fury and another set of lame excuses and he’ll be gone by Monday lunchtime.

    Yeah but as you say, there's a short buzz with smack. Definitely no buzz about watching a Nathan ****ing Jones team. Definitely cheaper though

    I think he could go before Wolves if the Board believe he’s lost the dressing room which, seemingly, he has.

    I don't see how he can be charge for the Wolves game to be honest. It will just be toxic from minute one.

    Would tend to agree.

    My only, only, only slight concern here is that he somehow weasels Ankersen into sacking Selles instead of him...

    What’s the point in delaying the inevitable? What’s the point in wasting another opportunity for 3 points? And what happens if a miracle happens and we win v Wolves? Do you then keep him in? I’d hope not, and If not then might as well sack him now.
