    From Doug O'Kanes interview with our honest and transparent CEO
    Khaled El-Ahmad says: 'As we speak today, he is the manager and he has the full support of the club.'

    Why do chairman and owners always do this? It always ends the same way, the manager gets the sack. The players will have read that, and if he's lost the dressing room they know what's coming. I won't ever say they'd mean to lose, cos I know they wouldn't do it.
    All you are doing is postponing the inevitable. Put a caretaker in charge and start the clean slate process. It's not like if we sack him we'll instantly lose the backroom coaches.

    As I think it was Rob Staton said last week on Football Heaven he basically said a vote of confidence for a manager is pointless because if you think that about someone just let them go now.

    It's odd to say you're reviewing it on a game by game basis. If you've reached that stage, just sack him.

    There are only two reasons that I can think of for not sacking him already;
    1) They don't want to pay
    2) There's literally nobody else at the club with the necessary badges to take charge of the team

    Schopp goes Sunday afternoon

    Monday - the club tell us they are actively looking at new targets.

    Monday 1st Nov. - Whitey appointed interim gaffer.

    1st jan 2022 - Hedwig Von Trapp appointed on a 6 year deal. 'He's been our #1 choice since 1987, says Republican Presidential candidate Paul Conway, standing in for the recently departed Khaled Al-Ahmad who starts at runaway L1 leaders Wigan tomorrow'

    Certainly looks like it to me. It's obviously not the type of game you want to lose, but if a defeat signals the end of his tenure, then I'd take it.

    What's the odds of a Barnsley win on Sunday.
    We all know a defeat and MS gone but knowing our luck big Victor will tap in a winner with the very last kick of the game.
    Our agony prolonged.
