    I do want it all to work out for the current manager and staff. However, imho, LJ needs time ffs !

    The current form is alarming, yeah...but this last 7 weeks has seen 3 weekends of Internatial breaks, 4 Cup matches and a month of two games a week.

    However, if the worst happened, and LJ was relieved from his duties....who would you choose as the next gaffer?

    Come on guys...Who?.

    ...my shout has been the same name for the last 4 years..

    Someone who has never had a decent transfer kitty, yet has a wealth of knowledge of the lower leagues for years, and, has always had fantastic man-manager skills.

    Nigel Clough

    Frank Lampard. A bit left field but he did a good job with Chelsea and wasn't bad at Derby. He's linked with the Norwich job but they're on a hiding to nothing.

    Yes managers are important, however imho the recruitment of new players this January is probably more crucial in getting promoted.

    The better the players the less important the manager us.

    If the players are poor, then you need someone who can make a silk purse out of a pigs ear.

    Likewise been critical of LJ lately but I would love him to succeed to do that he has to change his approach and keep developing his style of play At the moment he’s showing no signs stuck in a loop
    If he does go i don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water keep a similar style get another young developing coach. I would go for Russel Martin (Swansea) but looks like he cold be off to Rangers

    Its not that unusual, banning ketchup, amongst other things. Conte banned it previously at Chelsea, Fabio Capello banned it when he was England manager, Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea, Juande Ramos at Spurs.
