This is well OTT. He made one stupid challenge, showing his frustration with the way things were going. A red card and three match ban should be the end of it. At Watford last season I was a few yards away when he was almost cut in half by just as bad a tackle. He had a poor match and we were...
I keep imagining this conversation in the board room after relegation from the Prem and CH's sacking:-
"Now we need to get somebody in with a track record of getting teams promoted from the Championship. I wonder who is available..."

I still recall his debut against Peterborough at the Goldstone in 1966. We were bottom of Div 3 and pretty rubbish. A goal down at half time, but Kit ran amok in the second half, scored a couple and we won 5-2. He went on to score a few more that season and really kicked on the next season...
