Honestly don't know. Part of me wants us to go for a creative appointment that can take us places in the long term, but realistically we need to go for the first available unemployed Englishman to come in and bring some stability fast. Coyle, Hughes, Adkins.... Really, what difference does it make. They're probably all average but I'll take whoever we can get.

He can be as suave and well presented as he likes. He is incompetent. (A general comment; not contradicting your viewpoint btw) We know that now, but I struggle to believe that anyone could have thought that he was incompetent back then,

Remember him at the unveiling of the Sir Bobby statue at St James when I was over there last Spring. Looked confident and suave, shaking hands with fans, telling them to enjoy the match... Startling to think how far he's fallen in less than a year

Pretty harsh putting those two in the same sentence Unfair on Kinnear? Hughes is an average manager who did badly at his last job. Kinnear is a certified grade A lunatic.

Wonder if Ashley would be desperate enough to get the right man in this time that he'd actually spend money on compensation for a manger.

It's true, but I'd argue that the negativity on the pitch spread to the crowd first.

You don't even fucking know who will be playing for us next season man Honestly? I'm the unreasonable one here for not just assuming that we'll be shit next season in the Championship in JANUARY OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR? Seriously?

What is it on here with the stupid cunts on here slagging club legends off. Fuck off and watch Equestrian or Polo instead of footy you pleb. just because he's a club legend as a footballer doesn't mean he knows fuck all about managing or motivating a side I don't know whether Shearer is a capable manager or not, but I do know that that train wreck of a third of a season isn't anything near conclusive evidence to be making conclusive judgments about his ability as a manager. And there's certainly no reason at all to be calling him names.

Di Matteo will get mentioned forgot about him Owen Coyle is also available.

Honestly, everything I've been on about concerning stability, about how anyone could do a good job if given enough time, it's all irrelevant now. We are in that situation where everything has been so irrevocably fucked up that you either sack the manager and hope a miracle happens or you just wait for the inevitable. I remember posting four years ago saying how it was a straight race between us and Portsmouth to change managers and avoid relegation. Portsmouth sacked Adams, we stuck with Kinnear, they survived (for a year at least,) we didn't. We're at the same level of desperation. Oh, and to those of you who think it's cool to make posts starting with "some on here" and score points in this sort of situation, let me get it out of the way for you. I was wrong. People are allowed to be wrong. And while I understand that points-scoring is probably a coping mechanism for you, it's really fucking tedious at times like this.

I know I'm probably overreacting here but those last ten minutes, the players looked like they didn't think they'd be playing for the same guy next week. I think he's gone.

I think he'll be out of a job by tomorrow morning. Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

Seriously? Now that everyone accepts that this season is a trainwreck you had to go one further and start being negative about next season?

We're at "sack the manager and hope for a miracle" mode now.

Just get the fuck out.
