Ok then, it is clear that SM needs to go (although I would normally give a manager two/three years to put his mark on a club, but time imho is over) and needs to go now. The problem I can see though is who the hell do we bring in? Joe Kinnear? Alan Curbishley? David O'Leary? A lower league manager? Sean Dyche? Paul Clement especially now as he has left Derby (or is that too much deja vu?) A foreign manager? Biesla? De Boer? A complete non starter but chuck a shed load of cash at him for 6 months to keep us up and tell him it would make Sir Bobby happy? Jose? Who would you want and who do you think would most likely come based on being hit on by Penfold?
Ashley must realise soon that if he persists with him, he runs a very serious risk of losing £100m from tv rights, plus around £15m worth of free advertising. I'm confident he'll do something soon. A twat he undoubtedly is, a fool, he's not.
McLarens post match excuses were worse than the pitiful display on the pitch. Rolando Aaron's had to play lb according to Schteve. Really ? Colback could have covered it, so not exactly true Mr McLaren. Steven Taylor is not match fit, no kidding, was he ever? We lost the game in the first 15 minutes, l think you will find it was 10 minutes. We had one or two defensive frailties, one or two Schteve, are you kidding me. We are doomed if this moron is still in charge come the Stoke game. They have a warm weather break, tell you what, after that abject display they ought to be running over broken glass on the long sands, not jetting off to the sunshine. They have time to replace McLaren and give the new manager some time before we play again. McLaren really needs to go, he is clueless.
Rafa? RAFA? Not Benitez surely? That wonderfuck has surely proven by now his past successes were built on the back of one or two great players, not the copious ****e he filled teams with... No, Rafa will get Neville's job, and a heroes welcome from Valencia's faithful, probably a massive warchest.... And then will be sacked a few months later. There are no realistic options that anybody here will accept. Because we have standards. Mike Ashley, however, does not. That's why he sells pull chord yoga pants to pregnant teenage scousers in a giant jumble sale of taiwanese crap. That's why he associates with brainless "business" moguls who only have talent tickling the timber, or giving head. That's why he bought a club without so much as a **** you in the trophy cabinet, instead of a team he supports. Steve is a terrible coach, but by god he's our terrible coach. The relationship is terminal, don't worry, so let's enjoy him while he lasts...
You cannot expect him to win every game, I think you should give him to the end of March then get rid of him
