Manager for the Derby.

[neil999]

Has Ferguson got all the badges needed to be manager? And if he has gone and gotten all the qualifications to be a manager why should he start off at premiership level?

I didn't say it was a good idea

 

[The Sorting Hat]

Says it all about the Benitez oot gang doesn't it.

I would have thought as a Benitez fan you'd be all for getting rid of one of our "assets" and replacing it with something cheaper and inferior?

 

[Kev The Rat]

Think we have to go with Duncan as interim hope he can keep us up.

No way should The Waiter be allowed to humiliate us even further by leading us out to cheers from the RS and overseeing a drubbing.

The manager for the rest of this season will be Rafael Benitez

not if the cost of firing him is less than the cost of relegation, and we are in danger of relegation.

in this country, votes of confidence are issued daily, within 24 hours of dismissal in many cases.

not today. altough I would argue we are given the general direction.

In a week or 2, we could be, in terms of league position.

I kind of doubt it. I don't think people are properly appraising what the gap is currently. We're on pace for 48 points. Burnley are on pace for 29.

you dont think 1 win in 9 means anything?

I think you are wrong.

I think all the games a team plays matter. You don't just get to ignore that the team (when far healthier) was actually quite good to start the season. Unless there is reason to think no one is going to be a fit again (there isn't) you have to factor those matches in.

The reality is you do actually if a team is near the bottom and in free fall. Happens all the time.

Are we in free fall because the manager has lost it or because he's trying to juggle an ever changing team while bringing in poor players? I feel if we get something resembling continuity again we'll be fine.

 

[StuBarlow]

He's Everton's manager. Perhaps you need to accept that and get behind the team instead of wanting them beaten so you can oust...erm...the Everton manager?

When the kopites spank us next month and they are chanting his name and getting their "Agent Ráfa" signs out, you sit there and keep telling yourself he's an Everton manager.

They're double bluffing stu. They want you to fume and sack him. Then they'll laugh at you as nuno gets us relegated. Don't fall for it mate. Tap your nose and wink at them

Give it Allardyce til the end of the season and then get an up and coming manager from the Championship like the guy at Fulham in the summer.
