Are you ok? Spurs are 14th, they buy poorly, they have appointed a manager who has created a rift with the players and they are serial losers. Stop being a contrarian. I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts if a Rovers manager turned round and gave some to the BBE. Bet you'd be understanding then, wouldn't you?

Good. I want to see 50 feet flames. There's nothing to play for.

Other than the above I think we've got a fighting chance.

We are the only club where mediocrity is not only rewarded but targeted. I won't accept anyone saying otherwise. Our directors are rewarded not for sporting performance but cost cutting. We are an exercise in racing to the bottom with a football team tagged on. If they could halt football operations at the club you can bet your bottom fucking dollar they would.

This guy is fucking honking. Absolutely decimated months of work in mere weeks. At least he's efficient.

I hadn't considered this before and I am convinced it is true.

After tearing the country apart, sure.

Two things can be true. He's been the best by a long, long margin.

The way that some fans have chosen to turn against one of our most gifted managers in many years instead of face just how untenable they made his position is frightening.

We've just lost against 3 of the worst teams in the league while Bristol and Cov are flying. We need to win at least 5 of our remaining 8 games and hope the two above (and likely one or two others) do worse than that. You're kidding yourself.

You're going to need to accept that he was fired and people hold it against him.

You can be utterly insufferable at times. Criticism of current staff isn't allowed. Once that P45 is delivered they're fair game.

Take your rovers specs off and you'll see they're far more fashionable than we have been for a decade at least.

Considering form, availability and overall quality the transfers this season have been very poor, overall. Strikers that don't score, wide forwards that are injured/haven't played in 2 YEARS, a veteran midfielder deemed surplus to requirements by bottom of the league and a defender who couldn't get a game in the league below. Defend the above and your standards aren't high enough. It's simple.

It's really not in this case. He has the security of 3.5 years and knowing he'll get a huge payoff if we fire him. Which we won't, because of the huge payoff. Absolutely done ourselves.

Chaddy for the love of god. Rf99 has said multiple times that yes the manager should have final say but sometimes they get it wrong.

Curious where you think we're lacking

He got as close as you can get?

I know this is slightly off topic but for someone to be an improvement on Southgate they would have to win a major tournament, nothing less. Is that what you meant?

I honestly don't care who he plays and to a lesser extent, what the result is. Beating these will have no bearing on anything, the January transfer window and subsequent performances and decisions saw off the season.

I don't know what Eustace's supposed lack of loyalty to his new employers has to do with the question. I think we can all agree he displayed a lack of loyalty, but the majority of posters are in agreement that he was justifiably pissed off with the situation here. I would have left too, and ideally with a pay rise.

Just glanced at the game. Watched our entire midfield chase shadows like headless chickens for a full 10 seconds. Don't get it twisted, we're not being outfought or outbattled. We're getting outplayed.

I fucking hate this lads. Absolute dross.

Just back from therapy to see the score. Good to see paying through the nose to talk about my feelings won't be the worst thing about my night. This team is pathetic.

The reverse of which will be true in 6 months when we're looking for a new manager.
