A shame, but his curious tactics and inability to kick arse given some unacceptable player performances means that he has to carry the can. The manager always carries the can, players seem to get away with it. This current bunch need to look in the mirror and understand that they are responsible just as much as Vieira and a recruitment system that is haphazard at best.
Hindsight is a fine thing, but three things stood out for me:
Firstly the departure of Gallagher, a player who was miles above the rest in attitude, endeavour, and work rate. His professionalism was not replaced. Barring a few individuals we have a lazy gravy train riding team who are happy to do the minimum.
Secondly the shambles of the pre-season tour, that was a huge red flag that things weren't going well.
Thirdly, the departure of Derry. Just one of those things that suggested that all was not well behind the scenes.
I'm expecting Parish to get one of his mates in for the final set of games. Actually, there's a common denominator between the managers that have come and gone, a certain Steve Parish. Ten seasons, one billion revenue and nothing to show apart from an Academy. That will be Parish's legacy when we are relegated.

My Girlfiend who isint into football at all has watched a few games with me now and said the exact same thing to me last week.

A top ranked academy though. Wouldn’t mind a couple of youngsters on the bench going forwards. Maybe they are there but PV was reticent to use them. The young lad who played left back against the pool disappeared but had a decent game. PV might be good with A class players but mid range not so good.

Just heard Darren Ambrose on the radio suggesting that the
sacking was warranted and pretty much confirming the Derry Everton story and the fact that Derry is still on the payroll.
Perhaps there were doubts about Vieira around the time he removed Derry from first team duty.
Parish is close to some of the older players and in times gone by used to get training ground info from the likes of Damo and Jedi.
This in part led to the removal of Warnock.
Some may think this is not a good thing, but clearly Parish wants to know what's going on and has his methods.

He went one game earlier than I thought he would.

Let's be honest. Nothing suggested that he had a clue how to fix our goal scoring problems, so his departure was inevitable.

We are stuck with the players, so the manager is always sacrificed.

This is what happens when you won't or can't sign the players you need. It was obvious that what we had was not good enough.

A shame as last season looked full of promise but we have been diabolical since this season began. Definitely the best move for the club to move PV on. He is completely out of ideas.
