What about Harry Redknapp now that he has time on his hands?

Only joking...

We were a lot better last week against Burnley than we were against Southampton. I was a big Frank out man but it looked like he was bending towards a back 4 . In hindsight we should be careful what you wish for. Can't see a way out of the situation we are in at the. Moment. I don't think we are a worse team than last year . I think though other teams have gotten better because of their recruitment of better players. Where as we stood still virtually . Ok we got an injured sackho and rideaweld. They have not improved the team and no amount of changing managers is going to change that.

oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton.

I thought you were harsh on FDB, but you ultimately were proved right.
I find this blaming of Parish and the board difficult to understand, they employ people to do a job, who on past record should be able to achieve this. Then Parish and Co get let down by the entire coaching team and players, how on earth is it their fault, they have purchased players in every window.
The board have become a victim of their own success, let down by supposed football professionals.

There us no such thing as DNA in this sense.These are vastly paid professional sports people who should be able to adapt.
We have a new manager, the old formation, the old style and the same result.
At least FDB was throwing youth at it. I'd take Hodgson now though, he is here and thats all that matters.
Its the squad, short and simple, needed an overhaul and didnt get it.

Makes we wonder if Sam decided it wasnt going to happen when we resigned Speroni and Delaney.

To be blunt we have a championship side playing in the EPL. Here are some facts to digest, if we take the last five games of last season, Spurs, Burnley, City, Hull and United, we lost four and did not score a goal, add to that the first five games of this season and the stark reality is that in the last ten games we have lost 9 and failed to score in any of them. Apart from the four goals against Hull who basically threw in the towel we are / were hopelessly. In the last ten games we have also had 3 managers. Sam looked at the squad and decided to quit while he was ahead. FDB realised half of the team was crap and told them so (he wasn't showing off, he was letting them know that at 47 he was still better than them). Roy is there for one last big pay day. Kelly, Ward, Dann, Punch, Chung, Mutch, PVA, Sahko, Hennessy are championship players at best. Tomkins, Cabye, Lula, Wickham would be squad players in most mid level EPL.teams. Which, Leaves Wilf, Townsend and Sahko as three players of genuine EPL qualify

...but hasnt he returned to what they know...what they trained in under Sam. Or is the line now that they need time to adjust to what they couldn't adjust to.
