Don't think the players are in a position to back the manager otherwise they will accepting responsibility for the current / ongoing predicament. By remaining silent the focus is clearly on RM.

He also oversaw the most humiliating defeat over Rangers in the clubs history

Something was needed to ease the tension

He did the right thing, because unlike Martinez, he actually has some class

If he remains on Saturday I honestly feel for him, no man should be subjected to what will happen.

Really hope he doesnt show up tonight for the U21s.

Paddy power does stuff like this about everyone, when the kopites did that bowing thing after drawing with West Brom they had a go at them too.

I'm not doubting it, but I had a feeling it was a kopite who was making them. I say Kopite, as for once I don't mean it in a derogatory way, but an actual Liverpool fan.

I thought Saturday was painful. Yesterday was hugely frustrating. Today though, feels like Groundhog Day. Yet again, could we miss out on another opportunity? We've had in recent memory: Lack of quality replacement for Kendall mark 1, failure to capitalise on beginning of PL, numerous failed ground attempts, the Royle fiasco in '96, the NTL collapse, the failure to buy well in summer 2005, the failure to get a quality replacement for Moyes. Yet again, we're at a crossroads and I'm getting fearful we're set to not kick on yet again.

Maybe I'm been overly hasty, but for me, the perhaps likely decision is now that we will wait until Summer to decide (in which case I would be equally dubious we would even sack him then, especially with a couple of encouraging performances before the season ends.) The problem with that, given it's only four games away? As plenty of others have already mentioned, things could and perhaps should, get pretty toxic if we're continued to be left in the dark. Given this, this will only be encouraging players to look for a move come the summer. Then, suddenly the task of adding a few quality players suddenly becomes a total rebuild. Meanwhile, clubs with their management already in place, can take advantage of the summer in adding one or two other players and bedding them in during pre-season.

By waiting until the end of the season, we will be throwing away two months (May and June) in which we could be organising pre-season, setting out playing targets, and keeping hold of our quality core players. Even if it is a statement from the board that we are looking at replacements and Bobby will be relieved of duties come June, then that at least sends out that statement. We could then be working on plans with the new manager with a view to him starting in the summer. The damage that way would at least be limited.

By simply staying quiet, which is looking incredibly likely given the vitriol beginning to emanate from the press and certainly the fanbase, things will become extremely unstable, and we will miss our moment to keep up with the top half of the table. Leicester will improve, along with West Ham, Stoke et al, as will the other more established clubs. That gap is already firmly there between 10th and 11th. It's time to act now. Do I trust the board to do so? On past experience, not at all, and the pressure is firmly on Moshiri to deliver, quickly.

Very quickly indeed, June is essential to bring someone in and get players in. You are absoutley right mate, good post!
 
The lack of communication from this board since Bill took over makes a mockery go his initial quote as chairman for the need of "transparency" with the supporters,as someone on here previously stated,there is a requirement one way or another for a statement from them,that is the minimum requirement the fanbase deserve if the general consensus of blues is based on GOT!!
