Have the back room staff gone as well?

Bring back Brolin

Surely not Roy!. I was a huge supporter of his when most folk on here were putting the knife in, but he has had his time.

We need fresh ideas and a strong personality who can read the riot act to namby-pampy footballers.

But please not Lampard or Gerrard, their past experiences are less than encouraging. Personally I like the idea of Shaun Derry coming in for the rest of the season at least.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I disagree SF.

I think both Carrick and Kompany are very good prospects however we have to battle our way through 10 games now, fighting for survival. As mentioned I'd be surprised if either would come too. Maybe in the summer, with a promise of investment, but not now surely, a poison chalice very potentially..

We need someone to hit the ground running and see us through, hence Roy being fav. in betting. An experienced PL manager is what is needed short term and there's little room for settling in, tinkering and experimentation in my eyes. There are some decent players there, they just need organisation, drilling and a bit of a rocket to get them going.

My hope is get us through to end of season safely, reset and re-strategise in the summer. I'm not hopeful on first and even if achieved less so on the latter.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Why not bring in Sean Derry till the end of the season. Sounds like he went because he was trying to inject some fire in the players bellies and he knows the club inside ou5 so no familiarisation period. It was PV who wanted him gone anyway.

All the available managers are failures elsewhere so what’s to lose ??

Anyone else notice Guardiola tapping up Eze at the end of the match???

Wilfried Zaha. He seems to run the dressing room and cannot be touched no matter how s*** he plays, let him in as interim player manager until the season's end, and then when we are in the Championship we can look for a no nonsense new manager, get rid of all the dead wood and lazy feckers, keep those that are willing and able and promote the best of the academy.
Now there's a plan.

If it's Lampard, Gerrard or Parker I'll riot.
