BYE BYE ROY!!!!!

really? i'm thinking any manager would be better than one who's such a lame duck that he'd be willing to have his transfer policy dictated to.

we've got a week and 2 months. i say 2 weeks to decide if you want to back him, then a month to work out his replacement, and then 4 weeks for the replacement to look at the squad and make a couple of signings. it's a tight schedule, but if they get cracking i'm sure they could pull it off. i'm not sure if i buy this idea that it'd take months on end for NESV to settle on a new manager - didn't it take them about 4-5 weeks from that famous email for them to decide to buy the whole club?!

like you said, they're serious people.
 
The fact that we're missing a CEO has to be considered. Would they go ahead and develop a strategy for the club before hiring one?
 
There's no question NESV could get all that done in that time if they want to. The real question IMO is whether they will - or should - want to. Appointing "the best of who happens to be currently available" led to Roy's appointment in the first place, so I agree with Bunny. It's precisely because NESV are indeed serious about this that they should (and will, I hope) mount a search for a new manager as thoroughly as possible. Ditto the new CEO. If Kenny's going to advise on player signings anyway, that's yet another reason to give him the caretaker manager's job in the meantime, and one of their own (maybe that guy who sent John Henry the fateful e-mail) can do the CEO job meanwhile.

I don't get the whole red rag to a bull thing. Sure, bulls dislike red for some reason but what have they got against rags?

Surely they hate matadors more? Shouldn't we say "like a red matador to a bull"?

Even if it's fabric that they hate, wouldn't a bull hate a red bedsheet even more than a rag?

We could even say "like a red flag to a bull" without changing the sound of the idiom too much but making it far more realistic is capturing the feelings of a bull.

It's the flag they're charging, the colour isnt relevant since I think they're colour blind.

So they just hate rags then?

This just gets weirder and weirder. Yesterday double crowns and today color blind bulls.

They'd go mad in my dad's shed.

Must be one big stoater of a shed, that.
 
This season is a write off already, so there's not much point in rushing to replace Hodgson.

Let's make sure we get this one right.

Let's keep it going shall we. Sack the old dithering bastard
 
Yeah! We need a new cunt to call cunt.

I'm with BunnyMan and Sheik on this one.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Kenny take over until the end of the season. However if he did I think I'd have to leave this site.

I find a nice glass of wine, or some weed, and the occassional crazy sex to be preferable.

However, from now on, I respect your right to vent whenever you like.

We're officially slightly less shit but all our best players want to leave us, and Roy is still here. Those issues possibly being connected.

Hopefully not too much longer. I reckon he'll be gone after the chelsea game. It hurts to say it, but I can't see us getting any points in the next 2 prem games.

The sooner he's gone the better.
 
442 days since Roy Hodgson last won an away game in the Premier League when we meet Bolton on Sunday.

Sack.him.now.
