Heron Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I can only see us potentially getting 10 points now. Will not be enough to keep us up I reckon, 36 will probably be required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I cant quite believe that, as shit as we are, a few wins means we`re still in with a realistic chance of survival. The dejavu of being relegated at Villa park again will be too much to bear this time though & it just seems to me that that fixture comes at exactly the right time for the ultimate humiliation regardless of the schadenfreude it offers.

Sounds like he's publicly shaming the players to get a rise out of them. Something our current manager is incapable of doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't dare criticise the manager? I always find it odd that he never points out how bad our managers have been. Either that, or he doesn't want it to be awkward when he bumps into these people in football circles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Weird how we've been through dozens of players and two sets of coaching staff and nothing changes (apart from when things get worse). Almost as if the problem goes a bit deeper than who's on the fucking pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a bit of both but maybe it's also because of the type of pro he was that gave everything himself so he simply can't comprehend what he's seeing our shower of shit get away with. Either way it's poor punditry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if the problem goes a bit deeper than who's on the fucking pitch. A transfer policy where you would rather renew the contract of an ageing player than spend money on the centre half you need because it would cost too much is a clue.

Mick Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 love shearer but as always he gives the manager a free ride and puts it all on the players if a proper manager walked through the door today we'd see a massive change in these players imo Shearer and Keegan both stick up for our managers and it should be expected. Both have worked for the club, both have been treated s*** by the club and both will expect that the same things are happening to others that happened to them.

He should be unleashing on Ashley, then. I may be wrong, but he always seems to dig out the players, first. I know he said the club is a mess from top to bottom. But if the manager is going to get a free pass, then why aren't the players? Just focus all your hate on Fat Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Even if McClaren is fired and replaced with a decent manager, avoiding relegation won't be easy. If they appointed Benitez I wouldn't assume everything will suddenly be fine. It would massively improve our chances though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland Norwich Swansea Palace Villa There's 5 games straight away that a decent manager could get us victories in and quite possibly keep us up in doing so. It's nowhere near impossible for us to stay up when you look at our remaining games but I think it is if you leave McClaren in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying, but a new manager would still be inheriting a team with glaring weaknesses and a squad whose spirit is completely broken.

Ketsbaia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 As long as a decent manager comes in before Sunderland & Norwich, there's some form of hope. Still mightn't be enough, but it's something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
