Just stay up

Needs this done now, to be introduced to the players today and taking training tomorrow.

So, if they do 2 and King stays, as fans we must continue to sing his song all season, and make sure he and the board knows what we think about it. I would bet he's not received a pay increase for taking on the extra responsibilty.

Wow - you've been fired already. Good work!

Someone said yesterday that we offered it to someone and they turned us down. But then someone else said that we actually turned them down. We dont know who that someone is and if any of the rumours are remotely true. Thats it.

All the coaching staff left with Martii. King had to have someone on his team even if only for the interim.

We are both right at the foot of the form table. I think a 2-1 loss is very likely.

I could easily take Ayew in a sprint!

I know many of us can point to periods where things didnt feel right, but it now feels like that time when it all went horribly wrong with Ruud. At that time, it felt the club were resigned to our fate. If feels like that now. Seems the fans want to fight, and the club doesnt.

Can i be set piece coach?

So has Dyche turned up to take training tho morning?

Drop it. King is taking the Stoke game and we lose 1-2, after showing a bit of promise in the 1st half.

Feel for you! The last week i've done 4 5k runs on the treadmill. Shocked i am not 11 stone again, but presume its going to take time! Its always worth bothering. Good luck!

Thanks - you've just ruined this song for me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GD_wDWuh5w&list=RD7GD_wDWuh5w&start_radio=1

We cant play Riccy anymore. Aluko looked much better than Riccy when he came on. We have to assume VK can get fit enough for the rest of the season.

I think a significant goal contribution from him would massively boost his confidence as well. Probably should have had one at the home Southampton game from a lovely cross.

So, in piecing together the fragments of knowledge and made up stuff we've all been writing on here, the following it how I see it: They didn't plan to sack Marti. Top turned up a game and along with his 'media' commitments, a win was expected. 'Something' happened the day after, but from Tops interview it seemed he was willing to give Marti time. Even though we were utter dog turd, it appears there was no consideration given to the fact that we might have needed to sack Marti. There are no viable candidates at all (edit - appears there are rumours that we turned someone down, or they turned us down, depending on the source. Fact there is confusion around this points to the fact we probably forgot to offer it to someone who was interested). It appears within the industry, its well known what working with Rudkin is like, and in our predicament, we just aren't a viable option especially on a short term deal. There are likely options available to us who have hinted they would do it, such as Pearson, but Rudkin again is still the sticking point. They are banking right now that King and Saddler will just come good. Although all evidence is pointing to the contrary. A lot of your expensive senior signings that you got through your agency relationships have turned out to be absolute dog turd. This, and the finance situation, is the responsibility of the Director of Football and the owners We are of course still on the hunt for a Technical Director, CEO and of course a manager and coaches So, if you are Top and you have a quick 10 minutes to think to yourself, you've got to see the problem staring you in the face right?

Everything is relative. I bet if we had Wilder and we were 10th, we would all be seething that we arent top 6 or battling for top 2. What i would take to be 10th right now. I always thought Rohl was never coming here, but we know they interviewed Wilder.

Maybe, they aren't actually doing anything. Or they've gone to unrealistic choices who have laughed at them. Or they still think Potter is going to do it.

Noone saw that coming.....

Utter boll0cks.

lol! Watching Ayew has aged me over the last few months. But, its literally his shirt number. Wish they had given him 99.

Jakub should definitely be starting against Stoke. Bogovic wont be able to play every league game this season.

Both dont have a future at this club, but you cant doubt Dakas performance against Southampton on Monday. Miles ahead of anything Ayew has done.

Yeah - i agree. I presume this comes under the point if having a mix of experience and youth out there. But in his interview he made himself out to be a 9. Would loved to have seen him start today.
