Pretending it was his decision. Noteworthy the league position Houston are in.

The worst of them all post big Sam. Just. The worst.

Not just because Darren is his fault.

He'll never work again, and rightly so. What an unmitigated shithouse that man is.

Why was he given such an easy ride? The damage he was doing was obvious. I'm 100% the situation now would look entirely different if we'd got rid of him in November when we should have, and would have had a real chance of surviving.

Might I also point out that Ping-pong would be more accurately named if it were pronounced back to front? Gnop-gnip is the actual sound that the ball makes whilst in play.

Because Megson was such a massive c*nt and the early part of Coyle's tenure was fantastic. And we liked him and wanted him to succeed. Those were my reasons anyway. Plus there was a coming together after the Muamba thing. Hindsight is different I guess.

Anyway I've no idea where he'll get a job now. Probably some Scottish backwater, or he'll give up being a manager and cheerlead as No.2 for some miserable bastard with tactical nous.

Well he was doing massive damage. I can never forgive him for simply clapping on the sidelines through that relegation season. It was all so avoidable if he had ditched the fanciful style and toughened us up. And re-invested the Cahill money properly.

In the spirit of the game should it not then be called "Ping-pong-gnop-gnip"

Be bloody hilarious if he a) becomes leader of the conservatives and b) Labour fail to overturn the tory majority on the next election

This bumbling bag of idiocy could end up running the country as 'efficiently' as he ran London.

Coyle confirmed at Blackburn. I almost (not quite) feel sorry for them.
