Nothing, if it's working and you have the personnel to make it work. But to persist with a system that is seeing you ship goals and throw away points, resulting in an inexorable slide down the table, is just madness. It's become about survival now, plain and simple; the time for experimenting is over (for now). We need to grind out some ugly results to stay in the PL; do that and then we can start thinking about how we can pretty things up.

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

I can't believe that SP is that stupid

Well for one, I am not sure these titles apply as readily as you imply.

If we take out the labels for both men I would still rather Pardew.

If we go back to the labels, then I would not want any of them associated with the club but given what we know it is Pards everytime.

One who has made mistakes and appears to be trying to sort himself out V a chancer (at best) who doesn't appear to have learned his lesson.

I don't like Allardyce but I thought it was great that England finally had a manager that looked like he had just won the lottery. Grinning from ear to ear he looked like a Cheshire cat. Sadly it appears that it was for the £ signs.

Whether Allardyce would be good for us or not, he still has the threat of FA action once the police investigation is finished hanging over him.

I can't understand why peeps want Pards to stay, He's got a s***e record and looks like he'll take us down.

Zaha looks like he's on his way in Jan (I know Spurs and Liverpool are interested) Lets face it who wants to play for a struggling prem side.

For me Rafael Benitez who be the man to take over but that's not gonna happen so we are left with Big Sam, Coleman, Roy or Harry.

would rather Hodson.

I know it didn't work for him at Liverpool but his record at Fulham was fantastic.
