Yep, in a senior position in business, you generally get a rolling one year contract so the maximum pay-out if you're sacked is 12 months. Seems pretty fair to me. Why should football be any different?
Don’t see the issue with Holloway as an interim. He’d be mad to do it though.
If Sherwood comes in there will be a mass exodus. You won’t have to worry about a new stadium a bus shelter would do.
Sorry it had to end this way boys but i called it from week 1. The wally with the brolly is broken.
Wagner isnt a bad shout but not sure hes ready to come back into footie. I hear hughes is available.
Just messing but someone who is up and coming should be the long term option

Otherwise known as John to his English mates!
Hmm, a few other words I could choose such as we'd settle for safety, fighting spirit, and giving youth a chance. Your post sums up perfectly why it would be a mistake to atone now for a MONUMENTAL BLUNDER in appointing idiot hair island in the first place.
Not at all surprised by the decision not even the timing of it although you would expect some common sense to have been shown. Both Wagner and Jokanovic would be great replacements but wouldn't be at all surprised if they waited for Warnock's inevitable sacking at Cardiff if they do fail to stay up or even went for Barton and Hill as a management duo. I would like to think they have someone knowledgeable scouring the European lower leagues for someone decent. Failing all of that look to recruit Watford's manager finder or a least take him out get him drunk and find out who he rates. Even better would hope they've actually sounded out potential replacements before pulling the trigger. Again.
How can this guy fail?

...at the very least I imagine that he’d play two up front with plenty of support.

I find it sad more than anything else. McClaren had us 2 points off the play offs on Boxing Day, got us a Cup run for the first time in West Windsor's living memory, beat Forest away 1st time in anyone's memory, and had us playing some good football with spark and guts, Villa home was a great example.
WTF went wrong? Injuries, a packed schedule, bad luck., there were all these at first, but our performances started to go downhill too. After Saturday I saw some players get absolute sh*te performance ratings, 2 and 3's, yet I thought individually none was that bad,. What seemed missing was the collective, playing for each other that we had before this bad run started, BOS great runs down the wing but why couldn't he ever find a hooped shirt to centre too? They looked like they weren't playing together as a team anymore which of course leads you to wonder what the Manager and his many assistants are doing wrong. It was McClaren that deserved the really sh*te team rating, and he's lost his job again because of it.

Top post mate. A genuine hero to zero and we can’t fathom why!
Obviously it's all only speculations but I reckon it's down to the fact that a) Mac is not a good man motivator and doesn't build good relationships with his squads and b) he has failed to drill the defence into a smart one that doesn't all of a sudden collapse on itself 3 or 4 times per game.
Overall, can we really say that football was better under Mac than under Ollie? I remember quite a few cracking games under Ollie. Cracking games are all well and good but we also need someone to get the team structured and disciplined.
Unlike many I had high hopes for SM and I genuinely hoped that he was going to get at least a couple of years to start building a young team for the future. But having watched the dross served up as an excuse for football since Christmas I do wonder if anyone in Amit's situation would have been able to resist rolling the dice again. After all, he sits there most games as I do and must be just as disappointed, uninspired and, frankly, bored as the rest of us.
I don't think we'll ever know for sure what happened but I do believe that Jeff Cameron was absolutely key to SM's tactics and our good run of form and once he was out on long term injury the limitations of the rest of the squad were exposed again, particularly a midfield group which is hardly able to pass the ball at all and certainly never in a forward direction. SM's over-cautious approach to the game didn't allow him to make the radical adjustments needed once it became obvious plan A was busted.

I think Joey Barton with Clint Hill would be a good fit in our current circumstances, at least they'd make sure everyone gave 100% instead of some of the surrenders we're used to. Good time to change with the f*cking red hot Canaries next up...
