They just realised the Steve McClaren on the board is not a different Steve McClaren to the one coaching us and have to work out two compensation packages. It is probably not particularly straight forward. Maybe they want him to stay as part of the set up still. Cue Rafa fucking Charnley and us off within the next 24 hours.

When ... It's too good to be true. The press have no clue, McClaren and Benitez probably don't even know. It's the way this club works, or doesn't. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if we fuck it up further.

#prayforBenitez Pretty sure we were in a similar position with Garde and Viera before the mass disappointment. Fully expect this to be quashed by Monday..of course 5 more days of stringing us out first.

x 1,000,000 Why on earth would he?

Not really a surprise if nothing is actually happening. We take faffing to new uncharted heights.

Honestly - there is no way Rafa is remotely interested. But if he was and we weren't doing everything to get him here... An absolute standout Candidate. Would absolutely love him here.

Montreal arn't real Canadians man. Touche. Good to see Larin picking up where he left off, a goal an assist, a cheeky backheel that was harshly ruled out. Then made the team of the week. Would be nice if he could bring it against Mexico on the 26th.

Almost nailed on to be Arry imo. Another disgusting waste of money and time. There are very few realistic options without changing the entire set up and system they adamantly believe in. If its true and Charnley has the final say he is hardly going to sack the guy that he put his support by. It's essentially falling on his own sword. Simply put we won't either change enough or spend enough to get someone decent enough for this club and it's support.

Good luck with that "Lee has been trying to contact Jose non stop over the past 48 hours but he never seems to answer his phone."

There isn't a way back imo. Everything has turned and gone too far. the press rightly or wrongly have reported he is gone tmrw. The fans and public are in support of it. They will cause more damage keeping him now.

Lol not me another 3-1 loss. Watching whitecaps. At least it was to another canadian team lol.

Will they make him stare into a mirror as a board member and get him to sack himself?

JFK is ready. Are you?

Honestly don't think he would do much better. We need someone with charisma and someone that will inspire and motivate our players. Don't see much to think he will be any better than the current shambles. Awful at Manure under pressure, awful in Spain. Brendan Rodgers, Benitez ... getting closer. Neither would touch us with a barge pole.

Good god. I actually bit my hand when I saw who was being brought on for gouffran. Only funny because I broke the other one seeing that gouffran was in the starting line up. His time is up. He needs to go and he needs to go fast.

Essentially. Thread Journey: lots of pessimism, rising optimist for game start then angst, anger, shame, bitterness, more shame, more anger, with a dose of feigned apathy throughout the thread when it really hurts inside but we don't want to show it. Close it now while we can!

Looking forward to the Whitecaps season both in MLS and USL. Really building some great things over there. If they can keep their progress up it will be hard to keep hold of Robinson. Seems a very sound guy and great 1 to 1, motivating coach.

An excellent set of results for us really. Need it really because we won't get anything from Stoke come Wednesday.

Win 6-0. Best performance of the season, spirits high. Then get battered 7-0 by Stoke.

I'd be fine with him being sacked if it meant us bringing in someone with Charisma and talent that would make a difference. However, I don't see that happening, at all. If McClaren goes it will be someone like Moyes or Pulis that comes in imo. I don't think they would make a shred of difference, might as well keep McClaren and hope he makes a breakthrough with the shit mindset years of Pardew has hammered into them.

Won't see him again this season imo. Probably off in the summer if we go down.

Moyes is someone that needs time. He doesn't have the charisma to woo the fans back and get players performing from the start IMO. While he is superior It would be a sideways appointment. It will probably happen. Rafa would be ideal but would never happen. Rodgers would be someone in the middle. We will probably get turned down by Moyes and hire Redknapp.

Retract all previous statements about us finishing rock bottom. Second to bottom.

How does he defend having a job? We can't be a side that sometimes turns up at home and always loses away. How many more matches until we can judge him? How many more games Do we not turn up for or throw away?

Penalty and a red that. Horrific.
