It's not a case of being vitriolic towards the manager for me, I don't see any need to rewrite history, he did a good job for us in the first two seasons, he isn't an absolute cunt like Hoddle/Saunders, it would be churlish to deny all that now. He has lost the plot as happens with managers. For me time was up months ago (Bristol City was when I lost it with him) but it's been evident that the club don't really want to make a change. They're ok at the moment with us sitting in mid-table in this division and not really going anywhere until the club is sold. However - we aren't doing that now. 3 points from 7 games, 25 points from 23 games, it's relegation stuff with football to match.
Tonight is the kind of performance and scoreline that gets a manager sacked and I think (hope) we're at the point now where the club cannot let the situation continue, he has had ample opportunity to turn this around and we are actually getting worse. We're now entering games with seemingly no game plan, you cannot see where we get our next win from, whatever he's telling the players they aren't listening, we give away bad goals and have very little attacking threat of our own, it's a horror show.
So it's not only time up from me, I think if we have any pretension of being a football club rather than an asset that is up for sale, he has to go. Don't care if it's Sellars/Edwards for now, we have to make our change. Clearly there are jokeshop candidates that we must avoid but we can deal with that in the coming weeks, in the immediate future there is one decision to make and it's an easy one.
