Enough ?

I think a new manager with a more attacking mentality could do alright with our squad. Take the shackles off and we'd improve a lot.

[Shaggy]

Reading are cheating their fans too though - if they played like that week in week out they'd be looking down on Newcastle now

It's just so easy to look good against us though. We've lost something like 12 out of 30 games this season, nearly ****ing half. I suspect if we played Darlington this weekend they'd give us a game or maybe even ****ing beat us. We're soft, spineless and play with so much anxiety it makes you feel sick watching us.

I've backed Rafa for soooooo long now but this has to end we need this to be fixed and for the life of me i can only think the removal of Rafa is the solution

50/50 for me at the moment. May as well wait til the end of the season thinking rationally about it.

if you look at our style of play and the fact that we look totally ****ing clueless when in posession of the ball then maybe he should go now.

If things dont improve there isnt a chance in hell that we will qualify for the champions league and if making a managerial change now will allow us to clinch 4th spot then so be it.

Its a risk but our season is pretty much over already to lets be honest the first decent team we play in the europa cup we will lose to.

Trouble is, who would we get at this stage of the season and with our financial circumstances. As **** as things are, I think we've got little choice but to stick with him until the end of the season and see where we end up. Fourth place and a win in Hamburg gets him another season, anything less and he goes.

[Kenneth]

Thing is, the yanks daren't do it for fear of the reaction. They're in an almost impossible position with their unpopularity and the fans being split. The backlash would be huge.

[Joey Jones]

Enough is enough.

[paulg]

I want to back him and would love nothing more than for him to stay, turn things around and get us back on the track he had us on not so long ago, but I can only see things improving with the impetus and freshness brought by a new manager. And I hate saying that.

I agree. I can't see where a change in our play or attitude will come from.
How are we so much worse than last year?

[Leyton388]

Lets get chuck norris in! He would sort the **** out! ****ing roundhouse kick to kuyts head!

[Roboklopp]

Dunno, not sure I can back him any more. But the players are even worse. Everything is wrong from the top.

Kenny. With Sammy as his number 2.

Short term solution, but I think it might just work.

Tell the truth i'd be happy with Keegan at the mo'

[-V-]

The most horrible thing is that for a while we were begging the Yanks to give him a massive new contract while they wanted rid of him. Were we wrong all along?

[GypsyRed]

These are pretty much the same players who realistically challenged for the top last year and now can't beat a championship side at two attempts. The players haven't got crap overnight - there's more to it than that and perhaps it is time to look to the top. Either way, something has to change. This wouldn't be a knee-jerk reaction - there's enough supporters who've called for the manager's head after every game lost. This time though its different - its the middle of Janaury, we're out of all the cups and we're limping (to put it mildly) in the Premiership.

the criteria by which he is judged successful changes almost evert week. Last week is was win the FA cup, win the europa and 4th place and he should be given another season.

Now its win the europa and finish fourth. In a month or so it will be finish 4th and he gets another season.

At what point is enough enough ?
