    I'd be happy with that. I think the season was over for us under Parkinson. The new regime will probably take a long time to set up so anything from now is a bonus so a bit of a risk on these guys wouldn't be the end of the world.

    Not that bothered that Poyet has knocked the job back, if that's what has happened. More bothered that it implies some bad thinking or poor planning.

    Poyet is out of work I believe, and apparently known to Sartori , possibly even as a friend. Would it not have been reasonable to agree a deal on all principles before getting this far?

    Or was such a deal agreed and then changed later? If it was, and it was us, then grim times are ahead. If Poyet has changed his stance then we are better of without him. He is hardly a stellar name, stolen from a greater height, despite being a decent prospective appointment.

    But it appears that things have been moving behind the scenes for some time now, and not getting this right is a woeful start.

    Paul Cook for me anyway, as it has been for a bit, but whatever, or whoever, the grip of Parkinson's imposed misery has to be broken immediately. That team is frightened of itself, never mind any opposition.

    That Gus news today hasn’t half deflated me. I think out of the likely candidates he seemed to be the only one that would have given us real change. Good luck to whoever takes on this role. Deep lying problems in that squad.

    Starts from the top. I’ll reserve any judgement on the takeover until I see the new regimes actions but I’m nervous going forward.

    He criticised the takeover last week so probably sat somewhere wishing he'd kept quiet.

    I'm ****ing sick Davey. Sick of this ****. Sick of supporting this **** tip of a club - it's so bad, the mags don't even take the piss any more. That's how irrelevant we've become

    Why are we considering the likes of cowely or this ex wigan bloke. People keep complaining that we keep changing managers but if we get to where we want to be does anyone seriously consider the likes of these to manage us through to the premier league. If this exciting takeover is gonna happen, go and get a manager for the long haul. The next few days will tell you all you need to know about this supposed takeover and the involvement of our parasites going forward.

    Yes, that's literally the attraction of them. They've shown they're capable of making the step up on each occasion.

    Alan Nixon reinforcing that “one of our high up people” (rodwell) likes cowley a lot and it depends who’s picking the new manager. It’ll be evident in a couple of days I guess

    As per I've been to graft but kept an eye on the result today. Imo only, if the fans were at the games, I believe we'd be in the relegation zone. This lot are getting away scott free. No pressure on them at all, proof that this "fear" of playing at home in front of the fans is rubbish,because this is what they serve up. If this is how bad they are playing in empty stadiums,imagine how much worse they would be getting a bit stick from the stands, as well at encouragement.Shower of ****e getting a free pass playing for our great club. Like I say, these are my views.

    We need a new manager in well in advance of Saturday. Taylor absolutely can't be given another opportunity to name a squad like that tonight. Minging.

    That was the most gutless, talentless performance I've witnessed in 40 years watching the lads. That they had the temerity to play Maradonas warm up music at half time adds to my anger. Shame on them. A change is gonna come. A change has to come. Things can only get better.

    I would rather Leadbitter took charge. I was looking forward to the game based on Taylor saying he was going to let them play with freedom.

    3 centre backs, 4 centre mids, 1 striker Wyke up top on his own, not being allowed in to watch is a blessing!!

    Have they? I was under the impression cowely was in a relegation battle in championship, which fair enough he kept them up then sacked off and cooke was a mid table championship manager his highest ever finish. Hardly managers who youd want or expect to oversee a plan to manage us to the premier league.

    Bob saying tomorrow could be interesting normally I wouldn't give it time off day but since @Prehab26 said he has been talking to him of late and said Bob did have some decent info who knows , he didn't allude to what it he was talking about of course
