I'm amazed at quite how disastrous it's been. I'm not as desperate at some to get rid of him - by that I mean I do not wish us to lose games for Roy to be fired and I'm not tearing my hair out that he must leave. But I do acknowledge that it would within everyone's interests for him to leave and for Kenny to takeover until the season's end.
Roy has been his own worse enemy. Alright, so the team's playing fucking shit and he hasn't been able to turn that around from last season - but there's been no excuse from some of his comments which have left his mouth. I would argue that his quotes have shaped fan opinion of him more so than the performances on the pitch, and I imagine this has rubbed off on the players too. It fucking should have. And for this he's got nobody to blame but himself.
He sounds like an old man who is really, really feeling the pressure and is on the verge of losing it. The reported weird and scraped TV interview is further proof of this. Ultimately I'm left feeling sorry for him. I certainly don't like seeing him being called a cunt and everything else. He's obviously not, and suggesting he is is just unacceptable.
It is worth say that too much focus and desire is being made on sacking the manager at the moment. We need to fucking win a match or two and get our way out of the relegation zone, starting against Blackburn.

Thing is I can't see him changing his methods or opinions.
It's quite obvious that it irritates him that we, the fans, aren't appreciative of his credentials and standing in the game.
I get the feeling he feels our opinions are not sufficiently credible or educated for him to acknowledge them as valid.
I said a while ago that it would get worse before it gets better, especially as we have new owners who will want to give the old boards pick some time before they feel qualified to change it.

Even his methods and our players aren't worthy of 19th place in the league.
All I'm saying is we're still not a doomed, sinking ship at the moment, and the prospect of winning a couple of games isn't beyond Roy and this team. Basically I want us to win the next 3/4 games and then for the owners to take stock of everything next month. We need to get away from this position ASAP. That's all I care about at the moment, because being in this position is some scary shit.
