the axe must fall

[AucklandRover]

at least he is being watched now very closely, by Senior. I'm unsure if this is a good thing (surley it must be?) or who is in charge, the Venky's, OC or Senior?
I'm glad he didnt have anything to waste (or spend) in Jan, and its pretty clear its a case of wait until they go down before assesing the situation again. I dont buy into the notion this playing squad is good enough to stay up without any investment. They are woeful, almost all of them.
We wont play Mahoney again as it means paying him more money (appearance fees) so they have a Salgado situation with him. I'd rather we at least go down with our own young players, than journeymen. But the clueless one should not be allowed another penny. At least thats one thing. Plenty of football to play yet, anything can happen.

I'd always back us in a game vrs a decent outfit rather than Rotherham. Look at the 2 Newcastle games. A draw wouldn't be bad.

I really would bite your hand off for a draw in this one, Champs. It looks as if Lenihan and Greer are both out, so it will be a makeshift back four again. (I assume Hoban is still not ready).
I definitely would be looking to try and play for a point in this one, but that doesn't seem to be Coyle's style. I think I'd even sacrifice one of the front men and go for 4-5-1. With Evans out too(?), that would have to be something like this:
Steele
Nyambe Mulgrew Brown Williams
Feeney Akpan Lowe Guthrie Mahoney
Graham

Hardly inspiring, but it might restrict the opposition.
Actually, I'd like to see the Wes Brown of old marking Jordan Rhodes. Not quite the player he was, however!

We want coyle out I said we want coyle out.

If he does go, can we assume that - for once - Venky's have a sensible replacement lined up?
This is where we will see if Senior has a meaningful role.

[Despair]

Ditto.
I await with bated breath!
Me being me 😉, I am not overly confident, given their track record so far.

Another day passes and the prick is still in charge. Very hard to support this club any more.

But that shouldn't stop people from supporting the TEAM!

That is true aucks however the problem is not coyle its our glorious owners
Over the year's every good player has been replaced with a cheaper option every manager has been a chaper alternative
so we are at this point
poor manager trying to manage a set of cheap substandard players
that sounds harsh but we sell Duffy and Hanley for a pretty packet then no money gets reinvested instead we replace with Greer and hoban on loan
It's cheap cost cutting by the venkys unfortunately we will pay the ultimate price
the drop might spell the end of the idiots from Pune but it will mean a return to where we were.
