Well if we do sack him, maybe we can get Pep in to replace him. He might be looking for a new job soon

Yet another dig at the supporters who don't go to away games ! I have supported the club through thick and thin for 60 years, including taking the Seagull Special to away games with the team and Alan Mullery onboard.
Please stop critisising us, who have now reached a certain age and can't get to away games !!
If I were Tony (and whoās to say Iām not? 
), Iād be on the blower to Jurgen Klopp and offering him a mentoring role with young Fabian.
Not working with players everyday, or doing endless media or travelling to matches and all the other stuff that he had plainly had enough of. But being a mentor and a sounding-board for Fab - perhaps just a few days a month, supporting him, guiding him, coaching him.
It might be the sort of offer that satisfies his desire to still be involved in top flight football, but without having to immerse himself in the day-to-day non-stop grind of being a Head Coach.
I doubt there are many scenarios that Fab is facing that Klopp wonāt have encountered at some point in his career - plus he seems to possess many of the qualities that would make him an excellent mentor.

Like the idea though. I think getting Gross back in some role would be better
And we won't get Moyes in a million years either! He's back at his beloved Everton, and he won't be shifting in a hurry!
Yeah. If you can call Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull a job.He already has a job at Red Bull though and only started last month
Like the idea though
Yep. I went yesterday, yes it was poor but this place has become worse than Facebook for reactionary, toxic negativity. Fab is learning, but his biggest issue - all season - is not having been able to select a more or less consistent XI, and no real building of partnerships or understanding as a result due to the unfortunate (if that is what they are) injuries. I hope heās given time to prove himself with a more settled squad. If the (probably made up) rumours are true that heās ālost the dressing roomā, then heāll be off - but two weeks ago it looked fine after 3 consecutive wins. Thatās one heck of a turnaround

Had a few too many today ? Thought we had already brought in a German coach, who had been involved in the national set up to advise ?If I were Tony (and whoās to say Iām not?

Red Bull are brutal, if their F1 team are anything to go by so I canāt see them agreeing to let him go off at a tangent to a Micky Mouse English club (in comparison to their global image)

You can get 50-1 on FH being the next manager to get the Spanish archer.
Itās not a dig, just an acknowledgment that if you sat through that live and spent a lot of money on it youād be more annoyed than if you were sober and at home in the afternoon.
Pretty much everyone I spoke to in Nottingham or on the train was Fab Out yesterday. That obviously wasnāt the same for other NSC users. But alienate your loyal fans who can be heard in the ground and youāre heading for toxicity.

No no no, however furious we are after yesterday, surely all fans will want us to smash Chelsea!
Angry, and probably lagered-up fans in the very raw immediate aftermath of a shellacking arenāt going to offer a balanced, considered opinion though.

I voted "out" immediately after the game, but on reflection I don't think getting rid of him right now would do us much good.
I've pretty much lost my faith that FH is the man to lead these players, though. The Palace, Everton, and Forest games have sealed that for me. Either he's not getting his ideas across to the players, or he is and these dreadful performances are the result. I hope and expect Barber and Bloom are making discreet enquiries with managers who might be interested in joining in the summer.
I think it'd take a top-six finish to change my mind about the manager being a dud.

I think he has to go now, mainly because I donāt want anymore of our squad falling out with each other and f***ing off in the summer !
Getting a new man in now may just bring a bit of harmony back to the dressing room !

Saturday, I was more fence/out rather than in. Still feeling the same not necessarily because of the loss but also the rumoured situation with some players. Again, time will tell and it depends on the reaction we get after Saturdays result. No reaction to me will suggest Fab isn't up to the job!

capitulate like that again in one or both of the games v Chelsea, he can go.
