The Mirror ran a story at the time that said FFS wanted to give SBR until christmas to turn things around but Douglas Hall overruled the decision & pushed through his immediate sacking. Perhaps the reason FFS & SBR have remained friendly is because FFS isn't the one who made the decison to sack him, he just carried the can for it. I'm not trying to defend FFS in any way, but the Hall family - Douglas in particular - should not be above criticism in the decline of the club.

Only has to be reported to the Stock Exchange at the earliest possibility, that can be Tuesday morning

Nice image, but I'd rather the fat man didn't have a scapegoat available to make everything OK again. Roeder isn't the right man for the manager's job, but Freddy will sacrifice him in a heartbeat to save his own skin. Leave Roeder out of it for the time being. Target Freddy. Ona completely unrelated matter, a few years ago we made a deal with NTL to sell the club to them should Sky buy Man Ure. If Freddy was happy to sell the club to NTL, why is he so unwilling to sell now?

Ouch! Complete garbage tbh. Whilst he didn't have the best of games, whilst he was on the pitch Fulham were totally unwilling to commit players forward in case he got enough space to do some damage. Once he left the pitch Fulham came forward whilst we sat back. Since we can't defend to save our lives, allowing any team to attack us is a risky venture, especially with a single goal lead.

A lot of people are basing it on his two games for us so far: Villa: only played from the start because he was the only fit senior forward at the club, he'd been to perhaps 1 training session and barely knew his team-mates names Fulham: a team who spent most of the game, right up to his substitution, defending as deeply as possible giving him no space to run into (on the couple of occasions he did get some space it was to chase balls headed to the corner flag) whilst we spent most of the game hitting long balls to the head of someone who is nearly a foot shorter than his marker. If the team don't play to his strengths he's going to look poor. I fully expect that he'll get goals away from St James against teams who will be more willing to attack and leave space at the back when they're playing in front of a home crowd.

Roy Keane? The same Roy Keane who slagged off a bunch of Manure players (all of whom are international players) for not being good enough? He's going to take charge of a bunch of complete no-hopers like Sunderland? I wonder if Ladbrokes will give me odds on him beating up one of his players on the pitch.... :obi: :obi: :obi: :obi: :obi:

So... Big Ron or David O'Leary?
