    Well that is just it Loyal, I don’t think he can, I am not convinced anybody could get a tune out of this lot.

    I am disappointed that Hopkin didn't have the fight to try and avoid another relegation on his cv .
    No doubt all the "gissa job" dinosaurs will be listed tomorrow.

    I wish City could afford to appoint plain talking Neil Lennon.

    If its Evans and his henchman you won't see me at Valley Parade.

    Good god can the guy not do anything right in your eyes. In a lot of your gibberings yesterday you called on him to do the decent thing and resign. Done it this morning and now he's a bottler. You've got your wish now just move on. It takes a special kind of fool to kick someone when they've already gone.

    The truth, it wouldn't bother me if he was appointed.
    He's a Panto villain that wind's City fans up to high heaven.
    However, if he can get results to keep un in league one, I'd be happy to have Genghis Khan on the touch line.
    He'd be brave (stupid) to take the job though, because he's so disliked his honeymoon period would last 10minutes.

    I'm not disagreeing mate, just think if it was me I would tell all the players its a clean sheet from today.
    I would be having a heart to heart with the players as a group and ask what they think is the way forward afterall they are the people who are going to have to impement what ever course the new managment team are going down.
    I was worried before about our league one status but this situation has probably killed what ever chance we had, and I dont blame Hopkin one bit.

    If you think Hopkin is clueless wait until you see Drury in action. Sit near the dugout and he is useless.

    If we give up we may not have a club to follow n the future, I can understand your stance but we need to back the new man and the players to give us a chance.

    Foolish mentality.

    They couldn't find clubs because of the wages they're on.

    We've to give all players a chance now.

    Pogba for 2.5 years looked shi@e for Utd and look at him now.

    Some managers can get the best out of players.

    We need everyone right now

    Honeymoon periods last 10 minutes regardless of who you are. Anyone coming in would do well to get to Easter. We seem to have brought a whole new meaning to 'manager of the month'.

    You’re quite possibly right @Onside@Onside i personally just wouldn’t fall into the camp of not renewing my season ticket because Evans was appointed, irrespective of what I think of the man.

    We will have to agree to disagree Bronco - those two have failed to help our cause - they can rot.

    On what basis? Zero experience as a manager. Not sure why folk have an obsession over these 'hard man' types giving players a 'kick up the arse' like Roy Keane, Paul Ince and Stuart Pearce. Great captains but passion only gets you so far as a manager.

    Another no from me. Ludicrous suggestion.

    In Riley’s case he has never been given the chance to. Wight is a different story
