The front 5 will, I agree with others you might aswell look at around Boxing Day to see any real progression in terms of shape and organisation, no chance he can solve this mess within 10 days .... too many bad eggs and problems in this squad.

You could argue that our defence is decimated. Jagielka, Williams and Baines have all reached the door of the glue factory at the same time. This should've been addressed in the summer.
For the record, the biggest home win in derby history is 6-0 to Liverpool.
I think they have a chance of at least matching that scoreline.
As you said it's a judgement call but he can't just walk away. He has probably also been told in private if he does play up there will be consequences if he does.
Watford have no reason to play nice with either him or us. Unlike a player a manager can't down tools because you are only as good as your last job plus it's unprofessional and while players can get away with that I doubt another club would hire a manager like that.
Don't give them any ideas.
I'm hoping they take it easy on us so there's not a riot in the city.
It's possible. Or the more likely answer is that they've been exposed as the entire side is out of form. I don't think they're good players anymore personally, but I think their perceived decline has been exacerbated by the whole squad being completely off their game.
I'm really down about this
It's an appointment that stinks of failure
Hopefully he's only here on the short term. I can live with that if he keeps us up
If he gets signed to a 3 year deal then I'm going to be furious

This is the real issue. An attack without Lukaku and Barkley, yet adding the players we have should still score goals, but Koeman clearly couldn’t play outside his system that was reliant on a true 9. Unsworth was a temp so no one followed his orders.
But a backline without Coleman and Mori hurts. Baines falling off a cliff is unfortunate. Williams showing up out of shape and completely past it was surprising. Jags has just continued to regress. Keane was good until he got hurt. Holgate has been shockingly bad and can’t be trusted. JonJoe has been okay at times. Martina can’t defend. To not buy a CB and LB was the dagger. We have no alternatives. No manager can fix that.
Although, if the team was fit and played a different style, you could get away with Besic playing CB or could use our glut of DCMs to better support our defense. But it’s hard to hire someone like Tuchel in December and ask him to change our entire system, get players truly fit, retrain our younger players, and expect to see improvements until after January.

Only hoping that the massive bucket of KFC was tainted with steroid/coke/ket/ANYTHING induced chickens to ensure he fails any spot checking.
We can dream....
Hell if he has managed to swindle a 3 year contract at £4m a year out of us then anything can happen.

Allahdyce OUT.
Save us Sean Dyche, you're our only hope!

How about if he (somehow) does really well in that 3 years?
Because there is no way on earth he will be here for 3 years if he's doing average or below. Not a chance.
