Putting the BOOT IN !

No One.
But no one is safe in this sport,

Will they go darn anyway now ?
Cruel decision or logical. Literally announced in the middle of the night.
To me it doesn't make sense, That leaves the 'new fella', who ever that may be, 13 games to save them from the drop. In reality. Surely this act should have been played out around Christmas.

Coyle. another, regardless of personal opinions about his previous appointments, again another poorly timed dismissal, plus the crucial aspect.. as with many managerial sackings, They have virtually no finances at their disposal to make the necessary changes.
Will Allardyce be next , rumblings he isn't "working his magic".

McCarthy , Surprised at the hatred between Ipswich & Norwich.
er........... NO. Sensationalism at it's best, You don't manage in football & come out with a statement like that, half a dozen derbies in, acting shocked.

One day Rooney is going to China, Today he says he isn't
How did money infect & poison the sport we enjoy so much ..to the level where it is the be all & end all.

Undefeated since December, And another derby next up.
Every game has become a Cup tie.
Come on Agent 69.
Put it up.

He should have walked away at the end of last season. Like Warnock did with us when we won promotion. The players have become complacent and the backroom staff have fallen out.

I was surprised he didn't take the Italian job. (he was offered it wasn't he ?)
Vardy too. He could have moved onto Arsenal for 'big' money. Is it about all that though ? I don't know.

We (Town) stuck with Greaves, He knew & told us so, -eventually- that it was a hopeless task & there was literally no money for players to improve the squad that had gained promotion,
Also take into account, Captain Cherry, Big Frank & Big Roy all lef, Once it was nailed on we were going to be relegated. If that ain't Quality Street I don't know what is. You can't soldier on without replacing those three.
'Darn tha guz agean'..

Different now though.
These parachute payments make it worth while to have a crack at the top league, The money is there to mount a serious challenge the next season on. (Burnley, Hull, Boro )

Bradford & recently Blackpool suffered the same fate as TOWN, a mirror image of 40 odd years ago.

Appalling decision! They owed him the full term, as in season, to try and keep them up. Ranieri is a brilliant manager, he proved that last season and this, Leicester done well in the Champions League. What has gone wrong at Leicester?

Some of these 'foreign' owners do not understand football and what it represents. They think it's all about stocks and shares, well, they are sadly mistaken. It's all about love and passion for football!

Barnsley thread up soon Darn, stop tha whimpering!
