    Aarons will probably go at the end of this season as he is out of contract next summer and although I’m not ruling it out, I do have major doubts on promotion this season. As a result of this I think we should let Mumba stay until the end of the season to get more experience as we may need him as a replacement next season

    Don't think he did. 

    Bellamy yes, it wasn't Muscat who crocked Eadie.

    He got a red card for a lunge on Eadie though, but Eadie didn't go off injured.

    Didn’t he? - Thought Roberts said he gave him the stamp on the back for injuring both Eadie and Bellamy

    Don’t know about most of the managers on there, but here are my views on some of them:

    Martin and Gerrard: No, insufficient experience in my opinion

    Robins: Maybe, it’s just I’m not sure about his record
     
    Hasenhuttl: Yes, PL experience
     
    Knutsen: Yes, it’s just from what I’ve heard it sounds like we won’t be able to sign him because of Brexit, and he’s also rejected an offer from us in the past 

    Wilder: Got Sheffield United promoted with us in 2019, and then nearly got them into Europe the following season (but then sent them back down the following season). That sounded quite good in my opinion, but from what I’ve seen from others on here it sounds like he’s not a good option
     
    Dyche, Hughton, Bruce, Allardyce, Pulis: Loads of fans were moaning about Smith’s boring style of play. If you were fed up with Smith’s style of play, I can’t see how you would want any of those in (I don’t)
     
    Don’t know about the others yet

    No. When he arrived we were in the same sort of state that we were back in the Grant-Roeder-Gunn era, which Webber sorted out. I know he’s just sent us back to how we were at the beginning, but as he managed to sort it out first time round I would give him a chance to see if he can do it again. If things don’t seem to be any better in about 18 months time, I think it will be time for him to depart

    I can’t see really any issues with payroll because as far as I’m aware we have relegation clauses in all the contracts (although it’s rumoured that Pukki’s contract extension allows him to retain his PL wages). However, we only have one parachute payment left which will also be less than our one this season. As a result of this, if we fail to get promoted this season I can only see us having to part company with our best players as we are in debt, which I think will turn us into the type of side we were after our 2005 and 2016 relegations (nothing more than a mid-table finish)

    I’m not sure who to go for. Have had a look at the stats of some of the suggestions and here’s my verdict on some of them:

    Martin - No. Too inexperienced for me

    Robins - Preferably not. Has several achievements just not at a high enough level for me

    Knutsen - Wouldn’t say no. Has won the Norwegian first tier twice (although I’m not sure how that compares to the English Championship) and has a bit of experience in the continental cups

    Ranieri - Yes. Years of experience, at PL and other major first tier level, and in the continental cups

    Hasenhüttl - Yes. PL experience


    From what I’ve said about these managers I’m not expecting us to turn out in comparison to their history if we signed one of them (i.e. I don’t think signing Ranieri will turn us into an established PL side) - Lambert didn’t have much experience and got us back to back promotions, and PL survival. It’s just when I pick an alternative manager I go by their career records

    Before yesterday’s game I was was still happy for him to stay. However, I have to admit I’m starting to lose my faith in him now. If Sheff Utd win their game in hand we will be 9pts adrift of automatic promotion, and when you look at the table below us you can see if we continue this poor form for much longer we’ll almost certainly fall out of playoffs all together. If we fail to get promoted this season I can only us turning into the side that we were after our 2005 and 2016 relegations (nothing more than a boring mid-table side). Having said that I’m not desperate for him to go yet as we’re still in the top 6, but I’m happy for him to go now

    At the moment, Smith in. I think it’s only worth sacking a manager in the first half of the season if it looks like you’re going to struggle for survival but I think it looks utterly ridiculous when you’re inside the top 6. If late January/mid February we’re some way out the top 6 I might change my mind
