The longer we leave it, difficult second half of the season will be, like last year. Needs to go now.

The last thing they want to do is sack another manager and his entourage. It'll cost them another 10m to get rid. How do we know we even have that kind of wriggle room?
Do you remember when we sacked Martinez Lou? We wanted to pay him a few million and he wanted his full 12m. It went to an independent court and we had to settle on 10m, just for him. We then had to pay 5m to Southampton to get Koeman. Whikst he was Hollajd coach we were still paying him a severance package. We paid Watford a couple of million for Silva who then cost us a few million to sack him. Same with Allardyce.
I wouldn't be massively confident that we've got millions to sack another management team and then more millions to plough into another management team.
The problem is mate the board are that incompetent they won't even be contemplating a change, especially with us being in a transfer window.
Five of our next seven are against teams around us.
The club need to do whatever it takes to ensure that we come out of those games in a better position than now. Other wise we are toast.
The question they must ask should be
Is Lampard the man to get the most points out of those fixtures versus a replacement?
I actually have convinced myself typing this that they will sack him after Utd and aim for a new manager bounce.
Whoever that may be.

The fact we're in the bottom three and what they intend to do about it.
They're still talking about a stadium down at the docks when there'll be no top flight team to put in it.
It's like watching Citizen Kane wandering around Xanadu.

No.
Even though Southampton and West Ham are in worse form than us, and we have beaten both, them 2 and the rest around us will suddenly go from averaging less than a point a game to cruising to 35-40 points whilst we will be the only team that continues our poor form and we will go down with a whimper.
Like was predicted last season when the hysteria on here gained momentum.
If you are that incapable of selecting and backing a manager over time you deserve fleecing. Our owners expect instant gratification, but so do all rich and dodgy wide boys.
They'll sack Lampard and hire Lampard.
That's the funny thing Macca, imagine if we brought a manager back who actually took us to court!

By the S'ton game we need a couple of players in and possibly a manager to be announced either before or shortly after that game.
You know they would as well Lou.
I've resigned myself to us getting relegated now mate and the 1 crumb of positive we'll see.from this sorry mess is the parasites who run our club will be outed once and for all and we'll dust ourselves down, wipe away the tears and we'll start again.

We very nearly did go down though. And I’ll tell you now that West Ham will finish above us.
Do you think we would come right back up if we got relegated mate? I don't think we would.
I think 35 points might keep us up. So what's that? 5 wins and 5 draws from 20 games. Beating Saints and WHU would be a fantastic start.
Wolves away and B'muff at home are the final games. Unlikely we are clear by then and hopefully not out of it either.

I do too. Although I'm not at all confident of that.
Lampard versus teams at the bottom...I'd have more hope of Lampard v teams way above us when he knows we have to get the team behind the ball and play very conservatively.
The evidence of the last 12 months tells me that Lampard would have us wide open to counter attacks and a handful more defeats against 'lesser' clubs.
We have to get a new face in. There's nothing down for us if we dont have a new manager capable of realistically reading the room as far as the player' capabilities are concerned.
