I see nothing utter negligence and rudderless. Other rival clubs strengthening the board are more concerned with throwing the fans under a bus.

Just heartbroken resigned to it he isn't going we aren't signing anyone we are gone we are the new Leeds x Sunderland .

He has to go but I'm resigned to us going down now. The club is terribly run

Please probably won't happen though will it

It shouldn't be if you have scouted extensively although with signings from overseas leagues there can be an adaptation period

It was also reported by the French sources so here's hoping I would love Moffi or Django unchained

Spot on and we are run godawfully and yet I don't think Frank is the right man either and I was trying my best to back him until Brighton

Agree but also the midfield is pressing too high emptying the space, its why Brighton played through us so easily and what worries me badly about Franks tactics

I want to support him because I believe sticking with one manager is what we need to rebuild, and I like the guy but that manager has to show what he is working towards in terms of football identity and have a baseline of results. And whilst I totally agree the players are still trying for him and the board have dealt him a bad a is s you say the lack of quality up front is chronic selling Richy and replacing with two squad players was poor, but even given all of that is he really getting the best out of this team? It's all very well the players liking him bit do they fear him if they lose? I am just not seeing it and his tactics don't put them in the best position to win for me. His record is below a point a game I think any other EPL manager is sacked with that record.

Better performance but still not convinced what worries me most is that Frank can't change it if we are losing to affect a game and if we stumble on a formation that suits us the 532 he chops and changes it at home it's ok playing United and city and countering them but when you have to break down teams you need good coaching and tactical awareness from the manager. I am not seeing enough of it from Frank so it worries me he's getting the must-win the game against Saints because I don't have confidence in him and I wanted it to work!! I am begging for three points Saturday though because our crisis could plumb new depths. If they are sticking with Frank back him with player if like me you believe his record if three wins all season is unacceptable you sack him.

Martinez is Blue Bill again so is Rooney fella is mad

Shouldn't get that game because he is done I have no confidence in us getting a result we need a new manager in for that

His in game management is so bad we were one down and he didn't change anything then waited to make subs he changes tactics from game to game. We are a limited team we need to be solid and try and nick things if we are honest

Agree why he changed it from city is beyond me for the avoidance of doubt WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY OPEN! Whilst our only route out is being compact and countering teams we can't play passing football. Yes, Lamps has been dealt a bad hand, hamstrung by bad recruitment and a board that can't spend because of sheer waste for years. I like him as a fella and he galvanized us last season but the issues at this club are deep and we need a good coach with the tactical experience our team doesn't look like it's been properly coached. The sad thing for me is I feel like it's not going to change much sacking him the culture is rotten the club is rotten, it doesn't change because it comes from mismanagement at the top.

Agree that was obvious after city we aren't good enough to pass it around we are wide open. Why he changed it again is beyond me

Has to go now. But the club is a mess and the rot comes from the top. We sack manager after manager but continue to decline because the board and structure is rotten. Squad isn't good enough they've stripped out the goals, the financials are a mess the commercial performance is pitiful the only thing we have is a new stadium it will look great in the Championship.

They'll do what they did with Benitez give him most of Jan then sack him the week before the window closes. Superb planning

We bought the wrong profile the team is set up for a number nine with ariel presence and we bought a player who is a split striker I think he's a player who plays off a big target man

What baffles me is we bought squad players Maupay, Mcneil and Garner when we needed a number nine who scores goals!

It's weird as well because partly why so many fans have backed him is the connection he had with the fans that will helped us stay up and has kept him in a job. I like Frank but that was a ridiculous thing to say, I can see him being sacked if the next set of fixtures go the wrong way. My bet is on Dyche coming in

Tending to agree now. Maybe only an experienced manager can get this lot playing

Agreed. I agree Lampard isn't doing well enough to show he deserves the time and to oversee the rebuild because what are we building toward? But he's also been dealt a bad hand we didn't have a striker going into the season, they sold our best player and replaced with average squad players . Then you look at catastrophic Benitez hire, the financial hole we are in that necessitated a cost cutting exercise that has stripped the team from creativity and goals(Richy, James, Sig, Digne, Bernard all gone), the utter abysmal commercial performance, the only positive from Moshiri is the stadium. We won't move forward properly with this endemic mismanagement from above we need a new owner and new board look at teams like Brighton and Brentford even their organisation is producing results because they have a clear setup and scouting system. We have a mess. It's no coincidence we have had seven managers in as many years they aren't all bad it's the management from above that doesn't help, the common factor in our decline is the board and owner. We have to hope we can scrape up despite them and then get new owners once we are in BMD. I am very saddened by the shell of irrelevance the club has become.

This is the number nine I want he is big enough to be a target man but mobile and is a good finisher would be a good buy for me

This is what I don't get they had most of the squad to drill attacking patterns into for six weeks and they serve up that?! I wanted Lampard to work as I don't think hiring and firing is taking us forward but he isn't showing enough and his in game management is worryingly bad his tactics poor. Sadly I think unless he can win the next home match he has to go. As for transfers whoever the manager is we need two forwards minimum

Six weeks to work on attacking patterns and that's what they come up with? I know we need forwards but that's awful we are in deep trouble
