No, no it's not.

Not for me anyway.
Thats fair enough, though rationally I'm not sure how being in and around the bottom 6 in the premiership at 1ppg can be worse than 15th in the championship at approx 1 ppg.

This feels worse because I always felt if Megson went we could attract someone with at least some potential to keep us up.

Now, I fear that when Coyle goes, whilst we would be almost certain to find an improvement of some kind, I don't see how we will get a long term solution. When Megson left we were one win off 11th, and I suspect a relatively decent proposition for an incoming manager of some ability.

Now, we're bottom half of the championship and looking like a club sinking fast. Can't be that appealing for people without a point to prove, not IMO.
As BWFCI's post above - this is worse than the megson era. And paradoxically, reading that last statement back to myself actually makes it worse still!

Sooner rather than later, hopefully.

The parachute payments are good news for uncle Eddie, but it's looking like we're not more than a mid-table side and if he loses interest we might be watching non-league football soon enough. I know it's early days but I doubt even the most negative of us thought it'd be this poor.

He's not the messiah - he's a very naughty boy :shock:

Aye never a penalty.Watched the club "extended highlights" now there is a misnomer! No idea why eagles was playing left back for their first goal.

This 'time to go' stuff is a load of pish. It is a long, long way away, now, from being 'time to go'.

If I recall that was a little more personal than a harmless wind -up. I'm quite capable of losing my rag when needed. I also took the ban for the pleasure. It was worth it. Thanks for your observation.

Not at all. Tango and I just have differing views on the lad.

Indeed, TD's frequent inanities observations about KD don't wind me up either.

To be fair, I've been more with you on this than TD.

However, you have to accept that KD has scored some goals, this season and at times for me led the line well.

Based on what we've seen of the other strikers, for me, he's earned his place more than the rest this season at least.....

You were doing OK until the 2nd line.
