Club legend - I often catch myself daydreaming he;s back, this time as Director of Football. Grendel, why are you such a nasty piece of work?

Anyone remember that episode of Phoenix Nights where they have a "psychic evening" with a clueless show-pony called Didier Baptise, dressed like an 80s David Bowie...and thein in front of 150 people in the audience, he starts off with the immortal line: "Right, everyone - I'm being contacted...

Sounds like a stag do in Scholar's gone wrong...

maybe she did it mate, candlestick in the billiards room etc?

I said the same on post 1. Tuddy, LEA, MAF and Henderson were the backup strikers and have just 6 between them all season.

Don't give up hope completely. We might be down but are not out yet. We can still finish 6th, though it does seem unlikely now. A couple of wins in the next 2 games and it's back on. I'd make our odds of top 6 as about 10-1, but that's far from over.

I never bought into the excitement - I always thought it was too good to be true. You really do have to take the rough with the smooth. Let's face it, before the season, most of us would say that top 8 would be a reasonable finish. If we do get there, then that's job done as far as I'm...

The only manager I've been truly outraged when we sacked him. Not that I wanted any of them sacked... he was a true fans' hero.

I presume you mean Thorn? I was actually referring to Coleman Nice to see you still have your embarrassingly vitriolic and slightly unbalanced hatred of AT!

I agree with both of you but cannot see it happening. TM is a highly competitive guy and will want to win every game possible, so will make use of his loan players to give himself the best chance of doing so. He won't want to get thrashed 4-0 at home by Sheff U on the final day fielding a bunch...

Just because he lost it 'Boro twice, doesn't mean it'll happen here twice.

We really have nothing to lose by giving him another year.

I'll be happy if we finish top 8 - said so at the start of the season. With our upcoming run of games and current form and position, that would be a reasonable salvage. Our highest finishing league position in L1 so far is 9th (before 10 pts deducted) in the first season down, so bearing that...

Football isn't just any business - he should be allowed to fail if it results in the right results a few years down the line. Requires a leap of faith!

yes he probably would be, and rightly so too.

Pompey won the FA Cup, then got to another final on top of that. That's four Wembley appearances including three wins. Also the promotion to the Prem and several good years up there. Wimbledon - agree if we're talking about the old Wimbledon FC. Not that they count, but MK Dons had two...

Give him the benefit of the doubt. Why not? Unless you feel there's another manager who is overwhelmingly likely to do significantly better in a much faster timeframe?

Exactly - unless we stick with him, we'll never know either way. We have nothing to lose by sticking with him. It does indeed appear to be standard practice. However, what I'm saying is that it shouldn't be....it's the standard practice we're in but it's a crap standard practice because it...

Sacking someone for failing after 18 months is ridiculous, it's like saying a baby is ugly 5 months before it's born.

Have a bit of faith will you - football is meant to be about the unexpected. You have to go to games with the faith that, despite the odds, we'll give everyone a nice surprise and do well. Same applies now. The Mog giveth, the Mog hath taken away.....blessed be the name of the Mog.
