Look what has happened to Wolves.

Sacking a manager in February and expecting to attract a decent, proven PL manager to pick up the pieces is ambitious.

Sacking a manager in February and expecting a lunatic rookie to pick up the pieces is suicidal.

It amuses me how people were calling for Mark Hughes on BA, well, he spent about £20m in January and look how well he is doing.

Coyle is going nowhere for the rest of the season. Accept it, even if you don't like it.

It's all well and good making fanciful hypotheses for a bit of fun I suppose, but Paolo Di Canio, while doubtlessly has passion, took many months to settle into the Swindon job and make the changes he wanted. If for no other reason, accept this is a lame duck suggestion purely because we don't have many months.

Firstly I have to say I am shocked to learn you are Largehat. I feel cheated. I will never trust a man again.

Secondly, you say there is no point sacking Coyle now...that's just silly talk. As the fat dickhead from Blackburn says above, Coyle is only taking us down and even if a miracle happens and he keeps us up - what evidence is there that it won't be more of the same shite next season?

A half decent manager could easily keep us up with the fixtures we have left, as far as I am concerned it is suicide NOT to sack Coyle.

I perhaps didn't make it clear enough, but I meant there is no point in sacking Coyle between now and the end of the season... that window of opportunity has passed us by, sacking a manager mid season, after the transfer window has come and gone, when we can't afford or can't attract a top notch replacement, is not a good move. We are one point from safety FFS. What is this miracle you speak of?

I just don't agree - a new manager brings new hope. We haven't had hope for a long time. And perhaps the players would perform for another manager. Perhaps not, but it's worth a try.

The time to sack him has long gone, long long gone.

I'm numb to it now anyway. I don't expect us to stay up, and if we do it will be because someone else fucks up, not that we did well enough to do so.

Fair enough, but the answer to "how we can stay up" is get 7 points out of QPR home, Blackburn home and Wolves away, not Paolo sodding Di Canio.

Don't tell me this would be miraculous, and go on about the Wigan game, we also recently beat Liverpool, Everton and got a deserved draw with Arsenal.

It can happen. It can be done.

Yep, because of the poor quality of the teams around we're still not even cut adrift, hilarious when you think just how rank awful we've been.

I'm amazed myself we are still only a couple of points from safety, just shows how poor some of the teams around us have been I suppose, which is why I still think we have a good chance of staying up if we can get 2 wins on the bounce after the City game.

Sadly I think come the end of March we will most certainly be cut adrift, bad to say but I actually think we will be 20th come the Wolves away game.

I don't remember much of the 1997/98 season when we went down but we surely couldn't have been as bad as what we are now back then?

Wolves are shit, but i've watched them give a good fight in a lot of games.

QPR, are surprisingly shit. I think it might be between us and them. Blackburn have put up a good fight in a lot of games.

Wigan are almost certainly down.

A man walks to work. When he gets to the end of his street he can turn left or right, both will get him to work in roughly the same time.

Every single day he chooses to turn left, and every single day a man punches him in the stomach. Yet he still chooses to go left every day.

Why doesn't he try going right? There may well be a man there to punch him, but isn't it worth the risk. He has nothing to lose.

Coyle does make changes in personnel and tactics, Natasha. This business about turning left of right is a gross oversimplification.

He's just an average manager with average squad of players.

Why don't you stop watching the poor bastard and help him out. Very Happy

The best chance for us to stay up is if Blackburn, Wigan and Wolves all go into administration. Job done (possibly).
