I am sure Doncaster would think all their Birthdays had arrived at once if Tony sacked him.
I really don't understand what is wrong with being a "yo-yo" club anyway. Its better than my generation of fans have had to put up with for the last 55 years. We are clearly not wanted in the Championship and the powers that be always seem to conspire to make it difficult for us to compete fairly and we are always the club with the most meagre finances (or second most meagre). In spite of everything we usually make a good go of competing with clubs who have individual players that cost almost as much as our lovely new stadium.
There seem to be a lot of people shouting for Paul's blood but i don't know of a single manager who would want to replace him, who has a better record and who we could afford. Remember a replacement would need to be able to run the club on a relatively small budget whilst being successful at the same time - that constraint limits the possibilities significantly. If any of those wanting to get rid of Paul can enlighten me, please do that. What will probably happen if were to get rid of Paul is that we'll end up with a string of expensive failures as usual - just like our friends at Sheffield 6.
