    Yes, I am being sarcastic, before anyone has a pop.

    Maddest thing since someone said: "Hey! What about Howard Wilkinson...?"

    Not Europe mate but I honestly think that by acting quickly we have a good chance to make top 10.

    Hope so. Put me bet on before the start of the season.
    Beginning to think I`d wasted me 20p.

    Cest is that a joke? Relegation is pretty much nailed on. Our fixtures will have us bottom until Xmas.

    Not at all. I've have always said we have a mid table squad but that PDC would never see the best of it. A better man manager could and we have a majority of the season still to come.

    Why not? It's not like its march and were 10 points adrift is it?

    So why not give PDC time to turn it round then?
    The signs of better football have been showing through, we can't keep having **** luck with decisions going against us.

    PDC lost the dressing room the players will not play for him.
    So giving him time to turn it around would not work.

    I really want PDC to work but sadly he would
    Not keep his mouth shut he slated players to the media in stead of keeping it in house.
    Sacking him now gives us a chance to stay up.

    The players don't like the manager so they play crap and get him sacked, how many is that for O Shea etc 4 managers I think, easy money in the premier league, no targets set by the owner, so no pressure etc, etc. Look at Jose he might have been sacked if they lossed to Fulham !. And the refs won't give us a decision.

    No chance! Especially if Fletchers injury is as bad as feared! It doesn't rain it pours!

    Agreed on the Flether aspect. However the next guy may still be able to get the players quickly more focussed on the game than on the atmosphere in the changing room and on the training pitch. They'll all been clearly so distracted by PdC one way or another, and not for the better.

    I'm hoping that a respected manager with a strong quiet unassuming personality will turn things around, namely RdM!!

    But, will he come?

    I just didn't see this improvement? I saw a squad at odds with the manager (and got a right skating for saying it off some), a set of awful results and a manager totally out of his depth making an arse of himself on a daily basis. He is as mad as a hatter and even refers to himself in he 3rd party as if it's someone else?

    Love that passion and bubbly character but is possibly the worst managerial appointment here in my lifetime given our circumstances and financial clout. Even worse than Sbragia who was a far nicer bloke as well.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it Cest...

    He kept us up and that's his legacy here. We'd be in the championship right now had he not joined
