Try explaining to a laughing football world that you have sacked a manager with us 9th after 5 defeats in 23 and four points off Europe.Playing Gruda instead of minteh.. laughable..
Gruda isn't even good enough to play in our u21s
Get thisout
I think a little more sober judgement is needed.

Becoming more and more frequent though aren’t they? Beat Man Utd (who doesn’t) Norwich (Championship) and Ipswich (Soon to be championship!)
Needs to go

Only 8 wins in 23 though……. 34.7% win rate is pretty poor for a team “challenging for Europe” think a few more eyes need to be opened

It means we don't take fools likely..
Would you play Gruda? Honestly? He wouldn't get into our u21s as Harry howell is far superior and he's only 16

Howell is very good. Should be given a go in the first team, at least he might show some passion
We’re not a European qualifying squad/team. Can’t keep clean-sheets, awful home form.
10th / 11th is about right, with a fair wind.

He's still learning. I think we all just have to be patient and give him until at least this time next season.

I can understand getting young players and them gradually learning and needing time to progress but do you really do that with a manager in the so called best league in the world?

Should never be managing a premier league team when still ‘learning!’

Fair enough - but at 31 he was never going to be the finished article. Are you saying TB made a crap appointment by giving him the job in the summer?

Every team is challenging for Europe buddy. Well, minus a few perhaps. But we are not one of the minus few, despite it taking little to join them.
It all depends on how you look at it. I would always hope for Europe, but I don't expect it. Seeing Albion ninth in the Premier League makes me think they are doing okay. Glass half full. It also stops me feeling annoyed and flustered when things don't go as I'd hope. It's not like I can do anything about it. And sacking a manager mid-season, with an ideal replacement unlikely to be available, would be counter-productive in any thoughts left to the day after the match.

Nailed on to be sacked (quite rightly) at the end of the season because Tony won't f*** about. You don't spend the money he has and accept finishing 9th.

Even Pep is still learning. That's how good managers get better.
We have as many points this season so far as RDZ and Potter had at this stage of the season.
Indeed many more than Potter did in his first two seasons.
He had a plan for today's game which failed.
He will learn, just as he did after the Chelsea game.

Yes, it wasn't the right appointment. On the back of a European campaign, it was a complete gamble. And its not working.
