As all these threads prove sacking the manager is the easy bit.Different fans giving loads of different names from the sublime to the ridiculous.Some claim Thorn had no managerial experience,so how about Coleman,Dowie,Ade or Peter Reid they are all experienced success elsewhere so how about...oh wait we have already been there.So why did the fans want them and indeed others managers out,wasn't it because they were clueless,tactically lacking etc etc.
Funningly enough our 3 best managers over the past 50 years were Jimmy Hill,Noel Cantwell and George and John,all of whom were managerial novices.It's a good job the internet didn't exist in the early 1960's or I doubt Jimmy would have got the job.
No doubt the Friday phone will be all about who should be the new manager,with Clive et al,stressing the need for the new manager being given time.and constantly sacking managers gets you nowwhere,and so the predictable cycle starts.A few weeks maybe months down the line,after a couple of bad performances/defeats 1 or 2 fans will start to question the new managers tactics/formations/substitutions and eventually the herd instinct will take over and in a12/18 months time,the calls for his dismissal will reach a cresendo,and the next cycle will start.
Whoever the new manager is,one thing is certain sooner rather than later some fans will be calling for his head.
