    If Hopkin walks who in their right mind would take the job. It's toxic. It would be a job with a noose constantly dangling above the head.

    It works both ways= the likes of Ball and Payne may be keen to quit this team the way the club is heading, along with Seedorf.
    O'Brien likely to stay as he is young and hasn't lost enthusiasm..................yet.

    No financial help forthcoming- now that would be news and Hopkin needs to turn his ire on the owners.

    Much as I'm not convinced by Hopkin, this would be another nail in our coffin, a complete disaster.

    The last thing we need right now is more team disruption. Our only hope of staying in touch until January is to try to get some stability and consistency and hope that familiarity starts to have a positive effect on performance and results.

    If Hopkin goes, no sane man in his right mind would take this job. It's untouchable. This just gets more and more ridiculous. I would laugh if I wasn't so bitter about it.

    As an aside, if we did lose and Hopkin walked would he have the worst record of any City manager ?

    so much as breath the air around VP at the minute and you'll come out of it being the worst at something. Means nothing in these circumstances.

    If he leaves you can guarantee Abbo is the only man stupid enough to take it (forced into it). It would definitely be game over then

    My first message recieved was hopkin to go with we lose at gills.

    2nd message I got from a different person was have you heard hopkin to go if we don't win at Gillingham had usual meeting after a game and not happy his ideas haven't been implemented by the club. Now I presume he gave a list of ideas to move us forward but they haven't materialised.

    Then I saw the posts on Instagram and Facebook and you say it's on Twitter too. We are totally screwed if hopkin goes and Abbott the snake takes over. Be no one left in ground.

    He will meet Edin when he returns, give him his demands, if they are not met or promised he will walk. Think the Gillingham game is just in the middle really

    Well this week just gets worse. How the hell are we supposed to try and compete with this all going on, and now Hopkin maybe walking. However, sounded completely frustrated on Tuesday. We will be managerless, and pointless for the foreseeable.

    Abbott would jump at the chance with his tongue dribbling , it be better than stacking shelves.
