But if the players arent good enough, is it entirely the manager's fault? I dont subscribe to the rA "oh but hes had such bad luck" school of thought, but if the players are so poor would any manager get the best out of them? It would be like changing the steering on the car when the engine is ****ed.

Besides, as you say, can we afford to get rid, let alone bring in the new players that would suit a new manager's style of play? I fear we are stuck with it, and the best thing to do is stop whining, put up with the rubbish and hope it turns round in time to avoid relegation to League 2! Look on the bright side, we dont actually have to go and sit in the cold to watch it

It would be lovely to bring in Howe, although I'm not sure Jordon Ibe would be too thrilled! But let's be realistic we probably couldn't afford his wages. Joey Barton, he's the man for the role.
