    Well,....now what?

    None of the names being banded about give me confidence that we will stay up this season and we've just sacked one of the only managers who hasnt been relegated. I hope that I am proved wrong and we get a manager who hits the ground running and a team that responds to the changes. Its a big ask. A big big ask. We may just have handed a huge boost to those in the bottom 8 or so.

    Remember the way Nigel Pearson took Leicester by the scruff of the neck and lifted them up the league.

    We need a swift, good decision on next manager. However it was time to move Pulis on. Even if we go down, I'm still happy we've made the change to be honest.

    I'd go for one of Koeman / Shakespeare / Wilder. I don't mind who it is as long as they're willing to take a chance and have a go at teams. I'd like us to be on the front foot in games!

    I'd take Koeman, or Quique Flores who was at Watford last season (no idea where he is now though).

    As opposed to the name we already had keeping us up? Not a chance. Honestly he is NOT the only man alive who has never been relegated. Bilic, Shakespeare, Koeman, have also never been relegated. All are out of work.

    Let's all cack our pants because the only manager in the world who will "never get you relegated" has gone.

    I'd rather "yo,yo" under a Mowbray type that endure Pukus type s h y t e.

    I didn't think Koeman was very good at Everton to be honest and Flores would be taking a chance as his time with Watford wasn't very long.
