    I'm sorry but we were never going to beat man utd so what was the point? Only plus the club must be looking at is that the honeymoon period of a new manager keeps us in the prem, I can't imagine that Ellis new before the game regardless of the result he was gonna sack as a replacement would of already been lined up

    Not sure it was the defeat mate more a case of the way we played, players should be shot with ****.

    It might have been decided a couple of weeks ago and Short waited until he'd drawn up a shortlist of suitable replacements. 7 games left is better than 4 or 5.

    If the only plus of getting someone in is a honey moon period were we pick up some points and stay in the prem then I will take that all day long thank you

    My guess is Short started looking for a new manager after the Embarrassment that was the Norwich game. I don't think today's game has anything to do with it

    That was indeed horrendous but I think he may have started making enquiries before that.

    I keep harping on about this but the writing's been on the wall since QPR at home.

    Man u's goal came almost directly from a dreadful decision to penalise a perfectly good tackle..So I hope he can sleep soundly in his bed tonight..

    When we can't beat a 10 man Norwich who were going through a worse patch than us, the writing was on the wall

    Rash decision. Provided we have a decent enough replacement lined up I won't mind.

    If it's McClaren, Curbishley, Hughes or anyone like that I'll be angry, though.

    this is ridiculous.

    so angry right now. when will we ever learn some patience? this will be another new manager, another season wasted next year, another few transfer windows of ins and outs by the bucketload..

    MON will go on to another club and do fine, like Bruce has. and if we chase out players like Johnson and Sess, or even the likes of Bardsley, they will also go on and flourish elsewhere. We seem to get rid of managers/players because they "aren't good enough for a club like ours" and then they go elsewhere and finish above us anyway.

    One win since beating Wigan before Christmas. Games where we've hardly troubled opposition defences. Stoke City fans aren't exactly happy either. It's going to be interesting.

    Christmas. Games where we've hardly troubled opposition defences. Stoke City fans aren't exactly happy either. It's going to be interesting."

    Said on another post, anybody up to Stoke who are on 34 points are not out of the woods yet

    Got to say, looking at the Sunderland posts, you guys really are fanatics up there! On that alone, you deserve to stay up at Wigan's expense.

    How I wish the players cared us much as we do :( wouldn't be anywhere near this position

    If Wigan stay up surely they need to invest. It's the same thing every season for them
