    Sacked after 4 points out of 6, which is a long run of form by their standards. As barmy as WBA choosing a draw at Man City as the moment a new manager was needed.

    The best jokes are never from opposition fans but the self deprecating humour you get from your own. This is funny.

    And this one



    Who next?



    Whoever it is, we have now had more managers this season that SUFC have points.


    Who'd have thought that little old Barnsley would have to fly the flag for South Yorkshire!!??

    Think they only created something like 20 chances during his spell, that will not keep you up even if you keep clean sheets (which he also didn't seem to manage)

    Another gem



    The players seemed to be playing for him. We weren’t a million miles away from getting result

    Pulis was doing what Big Sam will do with West Brom. It starts at the back and, you build from their. If you don’t concede you can’t lose.



    Playing for him?!



    We've conceded 12 in 10 games. We've scored 6 in those 10 games.



    Shots - 24th

    Shots on target - 24th

    Goals from open play - 23rd

    Short passes - 23rd

    Expected goals for - 24th



    That is the recipe for relegation. Playing for Pulis my arse.

    On a mildly serious note, at what point do the fans of such a massive club decide enough is enough?

    This is a massively wealthy mad man playing football clubs like we used to play with panini stickers. The ego should have been apparent when most clubs have the name of the club emblazoned on the seats of the stand he has his name.

    I’m sure when he was spaffing his millions up the wall with a front four of Rhodes, Fletcher, Forestieri and Winnall the fans loved him but now it’s all gone horribly wrong what now?

    Yet another example of why football has gone so far away from what made clubs and teams successful in the past and how money is ruining the game. This is how things could go wrong at any club with the wrong owners, but as fans we are powerless to stop it.

    If it wasn’t the fact that this was the Massive Sheffield Wednesday this would be a tragic story but as it is.....for the time being they are the gift that keeps on giving, all we need now is Jose Morais to to get the gig!

    My favourite is " Sacking this manager is the same as rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic!"

    Hooper, Lucas Joao & Nuhiu as well.

    They were paying over 200k a week in wages just on strikers. £10m a year. I think that’s more than our entire wage bill including coaches & academy.

    Morais has already been sacked to save a bit of time.

    Any story involving a football club who recklessly spend too much money and end up either bankrupt or relegated or both, is not tragic.

    It is merely unfortunate for the fans of theirs who would be prepared to agree to a spending cap on their club (and others), not least in the spirit of fairer competition.

    More managers in a season than the pigs have points and now the possibility of a manager going around the dressing room on all fours pretending to be a cat !!

    Only positive is that he'll have to be appointed by Thursday as we'll be fully out of Europe on Friday and he'll need a work permit or similar to get a job.
