    I think Edin should sell his 20% of the club on the cheap and kindly get lost now.

    Rupp needs to dig deep into his pocket in January, if he doesn't he needs to leave too.

    I want to see owners who care about our club. These jokers have ruined everything we worked so hard for!!

    I think Hopkin should ride it through because at the moment coming here has only messed up his CV. I don't blame Hopkin for this shambles, the fault is with Edin Rahic and Stefan Rupp.

    Hopkin has been given a bunch of rejects to work with, the players on this team clearly aren't up to League 1 standard and it's Edin's and Rupp's fault we have them at the club.

    Rupp should have dug deep for funds LAST January though, he's a year to late with the cash.

    EDIN OUT!!!

    It is the players not the coach but once the players stop responding then the coach has to go.

    Again.

    I dont believe Hopkin made it too difficult a system for the goons to follow, i think he dumbed it down as much as he could.

    Abbott in as interim for the pompey game with rahic and rupp looking on, should be a reet good atmosphere for that event.

    Bringing on Bruneker at 3-0 down was baffling

    When people were demanding that collins go, a number of us said that he was not the problem. Nothing has changed.

    Despite what you all have decided to think now this squad isn't awful (although injuries aren't helping). Most are proven at this level or higher and almost everyone was positive about the players brought in. If they had just brought in unknown players from second-tier European teams or young National League players then Rahic would have to take the blame but there is no reason why a decent manager shouldn't be able to get performances and results out of this squad

    Expected he would go after Accrington. His stock continues to dip. By January we will be so far behind that no amount of money will turn us around and old Edineezer Rahic will not be likely to stump up any either.

    After the dreaded vote of confidence he received from Rupp wouldn't be surprised if he was told win or your out
    Maybe why Edins taken an extended break no school has a 3 week half term break

    If I were him, I'd be resigning right now. It's clear the players don't care and there's only so much he can do.

    Nah, they are loan players, players not good enough, players on a downward career spiral and players used to losing. Not much good to us , then or now. It is an awful squad, it's bleedin obvious.

    It's not that its too hard to follow, its that the players he has don't have the qualities to play that way. For example, he has the same issue Mourinho had at Chelsea when Costa was injured, he kept playing with a target man when his costa replacement was the likes of Loic Remy who will never be effective.

    When teams are low on confidence you need to go back to basics not ask them to do roles they aren't used to and don't have the qualities to do it

    I think he's already gone. And like him or not things are really dire now. Who in the right mind would take this job? We're already down as far as I'm concerned. A disgrace, from top to bottom. I hope the club refund tickets and travel to those souls who were brave enough to go.

    In hindsight, the best signings seem to have been O'Conner and O'Donnell, although at the time I thought Payne and Doyle were good for this level. The rest looked average and I expected a bottom half finish... I didn't think we'd be THIS bad though.

    He should go, and protect the profile he brought down from Scotland. He can easily dismiss his record here as us being a basket case club.

    Spot on. Collectively the worst defence I've seen, we are toothless up front and have a piss poor midfield. Add to that the complete lack of any leadership or backbone througjout we are only going one way.

    Gary Bowyer next in the firing line for the job what other reason was there for him to be at the Coventry game when he's currently out of work?
