    I read the news while listing to the new Stereophonics track. I don't think it could have been anymore appropriate "Chaos From The Top Down".

    Just about the only way this season could get worse is if we appointed Evans. Doubt Rhodes would ever sanction his appointment thankfully. Holloway another good shout.... less keen on Garry Waddock at 12/1 currently in charge of an Aldershot team languishing near the bottom of the conference

    Steve Cotterill, Ian Holloway, Paul Hurst, Brian McDermott, Billy Davies, Steve Evans, Owen Coyle, Neil Lennon, Paul Clement, Gary Rowett, Nick Barmby, Lee Clark - not a great list of managers who are out of work lol.

    Steady on. I suspect that you aren't aware of the reasons. Obviously results have a lot to do with it but perhaps he simply wasn't backed in the January transfer window as promised? There could be all manner of factors.

    I disagree with this. Hopkin was truly awful, his football, his tactics, his team selection, his lack of ideas. He must have the worst win percentage of all time. You can only blame Edin Rahic for so long...

    He has also froze out a few players which is never good for morale - it sends a very negative message. He has signed a lot of crap in January and the squad is still bloated - even more so with likes of Clarke, Woods, Anderson and Paudie now who are simply no better than the ones we already had.

    If we're ruling out failed managers for the job we might be waiting a while for an appointment.

    hes played a blinder to get rid of everyone else and leave himself wi the managers job lol, on a serious note we're completely fecked. Thanks Edin you absolute winner I hope you had a save game on this horrible real life footy manager game from before you disappeared up your own arse and sacked stuart, thank you players for proving football is the only job where you can be an insult to the profession and keep your job. Thanks stefan for literally allowing all of this to happen so now you have to piss millions away just to keep us as a going concern.

    My advice, pay literally everybody off and get them out of the building at the end of the seaon. and I mean everybody. from the coaches to the players and get somebody in to start completely fresh. As much as people saying oh he wont want to take that hit, fecking TOUGH. this is how badly the jobs been fecked and in my honest opiinion that is the only way to ensure we dont go down again.

    The seeds were sown in the summer for this disasterous season . Rahich and Abbott bringing in a squad of shite players, Michael Collins say no more. Hopkin had to try and get the best out of these players who clearly don't care, as Gary Jones tweeted somebody has to grab the club by the bollocks and sort it out. That man has to be Steve Evans and his nasty sidekick Paul Rayner. As much as we all hate them if they kept us up it would be happy days. Time for the board to grow a pair now.
