NickG Posted 22 January, 2013 Share Posted 22 January, 2013 According to radio Solent this morning, they asked fans their view before the game, now they have had time to calm down. Solent said every single fan, repeated and emphasised, every one, said that sacking NA and appointing MP was a good idea. Morgan made a telling comment about improvements with MP in one of interviews. Big NA fan so will need more convincing but was impressed with more changes than expected last night.

Ohh, I know. I mean look at that headline. So eye-grabbing. So controversial. What the Daily Telegraph is famous for of course. I don't know how they sleep at night.

OldNick Posted 22 January, 2013 Share Posted 22 January, 2013 Well i dont thin it is correct that Moyes was overlooked for Gray. i was under the impression that Moyes wouldnt take the job as he wanted his own backroom staff without Gray. The atmosphere did seem flat, but i think most fans understood that it would play into Evertons hands if if became restless. NA and football fans in general know the fans adored him, and im sure that is some comfort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 22 January, 2013 Share Posted 22 January, 2013 (edited) The media want the fans to revolt and the club to implode as this makes more interesting copy. The fans did the right thing last night by keeping a lid on it. Chelsea fans have been totally self-indulgent, given how close we are to the relegation zone we can't afford such naval gazing or indeed navel gazing .
