Well he sacked him after not backing him financially this season. However, if as is starting to be reported, he was too soft on the players, not such a bad decision. With so few games left, who else is available, other than the rumoured favourite, who could keep us up ??

I do want to ask one obvious question. If Vieira was sacked partly for such poor coaching and staff, then how have we improved coaching by not bringing any new staff in? It's like no one doing the job is better than what we had. We could have done without coaches all these years had we known that. We would have saved maybe enough to paint the gates again.

Red and Blue Army!

Absolutely correct!

That of course may be too late to save our EPL status, all we can do is hope not. I do really think it is time for this club to move on from SP/DF if we are to progress. Whilst accepting SP saved the club in 2010 and I thank him for that, I just do not believe he has the financial clout or the expertise to run a mid table EPL Club in the modern era and DF is hopeless as DOF as he seems to have no idea about succession planning or any credible scouting network
in place that these days has to cover the whole world. Brighton seem to have got it right with a Chairman who is happy to let the professionals run the club, with him keeping an eye in the background.
