Whoever gets the manager's job is on a win,win situation .If he does well he will be praised if he doesn't he can say it was not his fault-it was the team he inherited.

This is a business of little loyalty. I can't see the players having anything like the same to gain by deliberately playing poorly.
The relationship with Tan was so bad that Malky has clearly engineered this outcome by playing the sympathy card, but players will only devalue their stock in future deals if they fail to impress prospective employers with crap play.
I'd say that this saga has gone rumbling on for far too long and the players have been affected by the uncertainty no matter how much Malky said he'd been "protecting them" from it. I'm just glad it's been resolved and perhaps the prospect of the new guy coming in (I'd bet my shirt whoever he is will be watching today) will lift them rather than depress them.
I know it's been said that Kerslake will be in control today, but I wonder if Tan will pick the side........

Imagine if he wins!!! That 33/1 on him becoming manager would look massive
I haven't commented on Malky being sacked as it was inevitable when he continued speaking to the press about a meeting being declined and than getting invloved in the protest arguement. Although he wasn't wrong he should have kept his mouth shut. He may have got away with it if we were flying high and winning but we aren't.
His results are nothing to shout about and coupled with the transfer dealings and other background hostility there was only one outcome and I believe it was the right time to get rid.
He did well for us but no one is bigger than the club.

Have to agree Taff.
Malky has been portrayed by some in the image of a walking saint, and Tan as some sort of an antiChrist, but faults iare more evenly distributed than that.
The fact is that we had nowhere to go as a club, and along came Tan who put his money where is mouth is with a view to seeing the club being a successful Premier League side. No one is suggesting he's doing it for love - he's a hard headed business man who will take decisions to protect his investment.
Malky was funded to get us up here from the Championship and was a success by that yardstick, but keeping us up here is another matter. He hasn't exactly covered himself in glory on a number of fronts including value for money spent and questionable tactics. Despite the praise heaped upon him buy the media, he has flaws at this level that have been exposed. If it was going to be done at all, now was the time to do it or it would have been a hopeless task for a new man when this transfer window closes.
The questions are all about Tan now. I'll bet he's learnt an awful lot about "football business" this past couple of years from a situation where he knew bugger all when he first stepped forward. Like it or not he's in control, and although he's viewed a being as mad as a box of frogs, he has the clout to fund this club out of trouble with the right man at the helm.
We wait with bated breath.

The last second goal that wiped the smile off his face and made him turn away in disgust with his team
Established PL team gloating over scraping a late point against a newly promoted side with no manager and well documented, enormous off field issues
Fair enough, guess were not as bad as I feared. Could be worse, could be a fan of Newcastles little brothers
