Still a few winnable games left if we sack the manager now Silva/Hughes/Bilic/A.N.Other still available if we sack the manager now Players capable of so much more under a new manager If we get relegated we will have to sack the manager Lemina is good.

The manager Tadic being selected by the manager every week Players confidence (because of the manager) 2 X £20m strikers and we (the manager) still can't get them to score goals Board unwilling to change the manager.

Seeing a lot of love for Pearson. Isn't he in charge at some second division Danish club? Also owned Leicester city owners.

No winter break please. If the little darlings want to play less football, I'd like to see something like this. Scrap the league cup (winning it doesn't make you the best knock out team in England so why bother?) Start the FA Cup earlier in the season, with more prem and championship teams in early rounds. No replays. Scrap the Europa league (winning it doesn't make you the best team in Europe so why bother?). Spread the Champions League out and have the knock out stages after the domestic season. Like it's own world cup. All teams still in go to the host country and play games every 3/4 days. Reduce amount of international friendlies. Wildcard, I'd like to see a World, league Vs league style tournament every other summer. Prem XI Vs La liga XI, Bundesliga XI Vs Serie A XI for example. That would raise more TV money that some ****ty friendly tourno in Asia.

Mods need to get behind this now and make it a sticky. If this forum is monitored, it may help to oust the clown.

How do people not want Boufal in the team? The only player who looked like creating last night. Exciting every time he's on the ball. Even his miscontrols take us in to better positions than anyone else can manage. Tadic is awful. Cautious, pedestrian and boring.

Wrong Moscow.

23 goals and 13 assists in 2 Premier League seasons before this one. Yeah Deeney is well ****. Would've taken him here above Carillo. He's a bully. Strong, quick, good in the air, and takes pens. And would probably stick around if we went down, and get the goals to get us back up. Happy with Carillo for now, but I can't understand the idea that Deeney wouldn't have been a good signing.

How long do you lot want to keep talking about him? Just long enough for him to start failing there so that the haters can tell the fan boys it is actually they who were right all along?

Jeremy Lens incoming?

Promes looks exciting. But would prefer Slimani to the Monaco lad.

If we don't change the manager, we will be relegated. There is absolutely no reason to think Pellegrino has the skill set to turn this around. Maybe Silva won't keep us up. But I refuse to believe that there isn't a manager somewhere in the league/country/world that could get us the 4/5 wins needed to save us. In fact, I believe there are probably several such managers. I can't understand why we wouldn't at least role the dice on someone like Silva. Worst thing that happens is we continue not getting any points and still get relegated. At the very least we should offer him a deal with a get out clause if we go down, and a bonus if we stay up. Beggars belief that some fans wouldn't want that.

All we need is one purple patch. My point isn't that they are bad managers, just that their results haven't improved under new leadership. Whereas WHU, Palace, Leicester and Everton all have.

This is it. The line "there are at least 3 teams worse than us" only rings true if sides like Stoke don't improve. They will. Of course they will. They'll finish above us unless we get rid of Pell I have no doubt. We are lucky that Swansea and Wba seem to have gone from bad to worse with their managerial changes. Sadly that still leaves 1 place staring us in the face. I'd be extatic with O Neil, and happy with Rowett. God knows what it will take for us to pull the trigger though. Early march, Kelvin as caretaker till the end of the season probably.

Seen this talk of a mystery signing twice now. Where's it from? Itk on here?

I think he'll go in January. We've made our stand. £60m to City, unless we can bully Liverpool to part with a couple of their best youngsters. £40m plus Solanke and Ward perhaps.

7th out of 6 feels about our level ATM.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'd be delighted if we could replace this clown with Allardyce.

Ancelotti?

Boufal has shown 4 flashes of brilliance to me in the last year. Cracking goals Vs Boro and Sunderland, an incredible skillful run Vs Arsenal in the League Cup and a great run Vs Barnet (?) In a pre season friendly. 4 flashes of quality. No it's not a lot. But he's only played 1200 minutes of football in the EPL. Too early to right him off. No one is suggesting he's DEFINITELY the answer to our creative/scoring woes, but continuing with Redmond and Tadic is even less likely to fix it. They're picked no matter what **** they serve us up. So why can't we try Boufal for a few games? What's the worst that could happen? We can't score less goals. And from what I've seen of him he puts more effort in tracking back than Tadic. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

With a target man in place of Long, we would finally look like a team with some real physicality. Set pieces might even become worth having again. New guy, Vvd, Hoot, Yoshida and Romeu. Still not convinced by tadic though. Would like to see Boufal given a run but otherwise that team looks strong.

Anyone have a spare ticket or 2?

Woman absolutely have the right to play any sport they wish. But the reason I rarely watch any of it, is because I want to watch the pinnacle of sporting talent. Same reason that I wouldn't want to sit and watch a League 2 match on a Tuesday night or something. (obviously it's different when you support the team). If true equality is what people want, we should try mixing genders in sports. How many woman would make the England football or cricket teams? How many would make the cut at the Open? How would Williams get on Vs Federer? I haven't seen too much recently about wanting equal pay but if true that would be an insult to men's sport imo.
