Yes, I agree. That was largely my point.

There seems to be a slight assumption that Iraq is unequivocally a failure. Maybe those behind the whole expedition are quite happy with how it turned out?

Well he did, he loaned out Skacel and Rasiak. Not sure what else he could have done in 6 months when faced with a relagation battle. If he'd implemented "plan Lowe" last season we'd have surely gone down.

Chat forum 'n'all that.

I hope you still believe this after next Saturday! On a different point it is entirely legitimate to criticise the current "regime" as, as has been quite clearly shown, there were plenty of other ways of addressing our predicament. If Lowe and Wilde had backed Pearson and said "Look, we're sorry we've done such a monumental job of ploughing this club into the ground and embarassing you all and the city but we think the outgoing board have got a great man in here and we want everyone to unite behind him and see what we can achieve this season. Yes, there will need to be some hard choices made but with our great support behind us and a unified club we think we can build a platform for the next few years." Instead we got "see you later, Nige", some guff about total football, some very odd signings, the failure to address our defence, a completely innapropriate home system, no obvious attempts to drive attendances, digs at the old "regime" etc... It's not the fact that we're crap that's annoying people, it's the lack of respect the management shows the club.

There was someone behind me once who shouted "snap him!" every time the opposition were in or around our box. What a dullard.

Fantastic post. I can take the team being **** if it is being managed in a comprehensible way, with the best interests of the club, the city, the supporters and the community at heart. The current situation is utterly bizare and offensive.

Of course there is too much pressure on them. Bound to happen when you strip a squad of all decent players and throw a bunch of novices in. If Jan is suprised by this, he's a numpty.

Quite simply, nearly every team is better than us. I agree with the original poster though. Jan seems quite inept sometimes.

De boysh will do a stuffing on someone soon.

Which, coincidentally is also the amount the club paid out in termination payments when Wilde came in. I think it's rather jaunty.

I'm impressed that's on the rude-filter!

F should obviously be "*****ing" by the way. Get a long bendy straw and some vaseline. That'll learn her.

Shame you're not allowed a helmet.

What is Jewish sex? That thing with the hole in the sheet?

Salz >>> Rothschild >>> Deripaska>>> Mandelson >>> Big Yachts >>> Paul Allen >>> Bill Gates The Magnificent 7?

:cool: Next season.

I wouldn't trust them to fix me a cuppa, never mind a gas appliance... Lazy.

'roid meatheads at the gym do this too.

But it's definitely not a good idea to smoke whilst doing it, right?

They weren't better than us. They were boring, aesthetically and artistically bankrupt, one dimensional nobodies. I would have been gutted if we played like that. And what has Burley's spending got to do with anything? The thread is about whether Boothroyd getting the sack is a good thing. It's not.

Watford were garbage when they were a decent Championship team and they were probably the worst team I have ever seen when they beat us 3-0 this year. I fail to see how this will make them worse.

This is digusting. Sack Jonathan Ross.

I don't think I've ever fully dipped my wick in the toilet.. it's obviously not long enough (or, more likely, toilets are different n'stuff).

Pie-phone.
