    Or maybe they dont believe TM is getting the best out of them

    I really like TM but the spark seems to have gone from us this season and weve become so predictable so not surprised theyve made this decision

    They have been spot on with their appointments so far so hope they nail this one

    It’s a strange decision if they don’t know mind

    Got to trust the club, it's all we can do. They must have someone pretty much lined up with such a busy schedule coming up.

    They can bugger off with these late announcements though, I was going to bed ffs

    Yeah, you'd like to think they'll be as spot on with choosing the 5th manager in less than 2 years as they were with the previous ones.

    They have been spot on though? Neil got us up then Mowbray steadied the ship. Constant progression every season since KLD and Speakman came in and i'm not sure what more people can ask for.

    Well they got the previous decisions right:
    Johnson started to change our style of football from the stuff parkinson had us producing

    Johnson lacked a winning mentality so they upgraded to Neil, who got us promoted

    Neil then left so they upgraded again with TM. They now feel we are going backwards so are hoping they upgrade for a 4th time

    We would all love a manager here for longer than the last few

    What the f… I’ve just come on, at this page, and was going to post of giving uncle Tony until new year… and I read this! I know people have been agitating for his dismissal, but I wasn’t expecting this so quickly. Further evidence that the owners are not prepared to hang about! They are determined to get into the premiership. I’d like to thank Mowbray for giving us some of the best football I’ve ever seen at this club, and wish him a happy Xmas spent with his family, and good luck for the future. (As long as it isn’t against us!)

    I suspect they already have him(her?) lined up with the contract just needing signing. The next few days are not going to be boring.

    I thought it was funny - well, in a light hearted way… although, the very thought of even the remotest chance of it happening is likely to give me nightmares! It couldn’t happen, could it? Please, someone reassure me it couldn’t happen. Please!

    I don’t care if it’s ex smog or even ex mag, as long as he’s successful - I’d even take Shearer! As long as he gets us into the premiership.

    We aren't going down, so there really is no immediate danger. I'd be giving him until the end of the season at very least. I just don't see a rush to go up with the age of our squad, would rather lay some groundwork before we do.



    Only concern is that we arguably have a better squad than last season and we don't necessarily look like we will finish better off.



    If we go backwards, he will be gone.



    No goals from any striker reads more to me like a problem with how we are playing than a problem with the strikers.

    Disappointed but I understand it. He never felt long term to me and how well he did so quickly was a big shock. He has won a fan in me at this level but the club are investing in the future and I would assume the next manager will reflect that.

    If not... **** knows.

    I think its a bad decision, but I don't own the club. The football we have played since he's been here has been a joy to watch. His interviews tells me he wanted a lot more experience in, but the club went down the young kids with potential route....never sure TM actually bought into this.
    Never mind, The King is dead, long live the King....let's see who comes in

    Well at least it’s done now and it had absolutely nothing to do with the fans!
