Yep. If they dont they all want f***ing off.
How have we reached that stage after having such a good season?
1 bad game.
Let's see how this next month goes and focus on signing the players any manager would need to do well with us.
"How have we reached that stage after having such a good season?"
The simple fact is that we have not reached that stage; nowhere near it in my view.
Every single one of us was fully aware that we would hit a run of bad results sooner rather than later; that awareness has done little to temper a huge over reaction.
The Wednesday result cannot and should not detract from the fact that we have had a very good season so far; exceptionally good if you factor in the churn of players and the fragility of the squad in a few areas.
We know that EM is trigger happy and has gotten through a few managers to date, but when you look at the managers who have gone and why, I tend to feel far more relaxed about Lamouchi's future:
Warburton's belligerence talked himself out of a job; Karanka threw his toys out when a DOF was appointed and MON a was a huge mistake which needed correcting.
Some people are going to be deeply disappointed that the prospect of a top two finish has all but disappeared; all I can say to those people is "welcome to reality" because a top two was never, ever on the cards, not with this squad.
We have a massive opportunity to add some of the missing pieces next Month; that should be the focus, not changing managers.
