ITS NUTS!

Bang on boingy!

Good timing, could we try to have that at any point…

Steve Bruce… FFS…

I don't understand the term 'advanced' talks. We've only just sacked the last manager so how are we in advanced talks? It doesn't matter who the candidate is, surely you have to take time and interview various candidates. Unless of course a lot has gone on behind the scenes! We need to take our time over this in my opinion. I don't think Bruce is a long term answer, which is what we need.

It's okay saying we are still fifth. When the rot started people were saying never mind we are still second, never mind we are still third never mind we are still fourth.
There was only one way we were heading and it wasn't up.
I don't want us to go up this season the way things are. We have to regroup and all be on the same page.

Do you think Val could have turned it around? I don't. He lost the fans, the dressing room and we were on a downhill trajectory. There was no light at the end of the tunnel and I'm not surprised they cut his 4 year project short.

Lai wants to sell the club and fast and the fans are desperate for that to happen. A project is great, but you need signs it's going to work or you have to react.

Seems a no go with Clement, but pretty obvious now that things started moving after Millwall. To save this season, we need someone in by Friday for intensive weekend work with the squad.

Out of the available, who would you suggest?

Sorry, but can you elaborate on that please.

On an International break and we were hardly devastated by call ups thought it better to take a weeks holiday in Portugal.
