    I wish someone would create a Hitler wartime video. I need something to make me smile or maybe I missed it.
    Thanks

    The odds plummeted because loads of people put a bet on at once - nothing more.

    Not too early at all imo. We don't have to make a permanent appointment immediately and could easily stick Lallana/Calderwood in as a caretaker and take a couple of months sounding out the right person for a promotion push.

    He really can't stay any longer. Literally get any **** in as caretaker at this point for me.

    Lincs?
    Singing Blue?
    My Nan?

    ****ing anybody at this point honestly. They can hardly do much worse.

    Serious question. In the make believe world of hypotheticals would you accept Martin being sacked tomorrow if it meant saggy chops getting a short term deal to the season.

    Not 100% I'd go that far tbf but the fact I'd even consider it speaks ****ing volumes.

    I would take Pulis, BFS and Mark Hughes right now.

    Literally anyone who can organise a team and try and make games competitive. I don’t care if we play long ball low block.

    This guy is stealing a living I would rather he was paid off.

    If appointing an interim manager for a few months (or even until the end of the season) was a realistic possibility, then I would be behind that.

    But I would be amazed if the club went down that route, because they would basically be publicly throwing in the towel. My expectation is that if they do sack Martin, they would want to be making a permanent appointment. And I can't see that ending well.

    We’re into Groucho Marx territory now. I wouldn’t want a manager who would want to come here

    Could go down the Mark Hughes route again (not literally Mark Hughes). Not sure how many managers would be happy with just a contract until the end of the season though. Some out of work ones probably would be. Offer a nice bonus for keeping us up too. And if any manager did keep us up from where we are now we’d probably want to keep them next season anyway. If not, no harm done because we are as good as down anyway. We could start sounding out the manager to come in for next season in the championship by January when we’re still in single figures.

    I agree and should have been done a while ago.
    We need some experience and someone who is shrewd with signings and making a team more solid.

    Appointing fat Sam is less embarrassing than breaking derbys record

    I still think one of the worst things is just how ****ing dull we are. I could perhaps accept the piss poor points total to a degree if we were exciting to watch but in the main we just aren't and I find myself bored to tears each week.

    I mean you wouldn't want Russell doing a kids party would you? Pass the parcel would just be a single wrapping instead of multiple with the music going on for over 20 minutes before stopping.

    And then when it finally does stop instead of a present you get anthrax.
