Do it whilst the press are on your side and the results aren't too shoddy. Once they find themselves in danger of impending relegation, the goodwill will evaporate faster a snowflake in the Sahara.

Aye, he's not doing too bad out of it considering they've spent £50m and are hovering over the drop.

Very possible.

Think Norwich will act though. Ex-player. Liked by the fans and Hughton is on thin ice going by fan concensus

I'd pay very large amounts of very good money to see that happen.

I'd even tolerate seeing it is Welsh, it'd be THAT funny.

To be fair to him he's right. Mackay has constantly used the media to project his version off events.

Time to thank Dougie for his efforts and get on the old dog and bone.

He did release a statement slagging off MM for mentioning that he liked to bring some players in, basically the same statement that every manager in the country makes before a window. Seemed like a big overreaction to me, but I suppose if he's already been told he was getting no-one then it would get up Tan's nose.

I wonder how long Ole has been talking to them, the snake?

He went public to say, after spending £50m in the summer, that he needed 3 more players in January ... a forward, a midfielder and a defender.

Tan was pissed that he'd spent £50m when he only offered him £35m. You'll recall the argument that MM failed to account for the whole spend.

Then MM decided to claim he wasn't being supported. He's used the media to air his grievances ... and very regularly. He's recently "done a Benitez" (who's a prick, btw) and got in with the fan protest groups. That's never going to end well.

Seriously, Tan is a prick ... the red shirt and Dragon badge thing is vastly more important to fans tan he can get his head round. But the guy's funded the club to the tune of about £150m so far & to be accused of being mean is a bit harsh.

If he said "OK ... fck it ... I'm off & I want my money back" their dive would make Portsmouth's look quite stately.

coyle giving them all 'frees' makes it seem more.

replacing them with tyrone mears and the likes , makes it look even more.

malky paid more for a reserve fullback than we paid for tossmander the stump.
