For me there is a compelling reason to sack Souness this week - he hasn't a clue about who to pick and how to tell them to play. We will go down if he is in charge for the next seven games. We have to have a better chance if those next seven games are under the control of someone better at formations and tactics than Souness, which is just about anyone. Our players are very experienced, I'm sure they can stick to a plan if it's a good one.

5 months on since the first post, and it cannot be denied that what has happened in those last 5 months largely vindicates Rover6's point of view. If we had known then that by April 1st another 7 players would have been played out of position in left midfield, that the lady luck / ref conspiracy drivel would have been trotted out another 20 times, that our defence would still be as dodgy, that we would only win one home game, and that we would be 3 points above the drop zone, I think there would have been much greater support to get rid of the Great Man.

I totally disagree that we "hammered" them today. Lots of possession, but virtually all of it courtesy of a terrible Leicester side. To have 60% of the ball and manage one good effort on target is pathetic. A manager stands or falls on his signings, his team selection, his tactics, his choice of backroom staff and his motivating the players; and on all five of those this season, he has clearly failed. - his last good signing was Friedal. More recently, Thompson, Emerton, Reid, Amoruso, Gresko and Ferguson have all been poor to pathetic - Team selection is all over the map. Players must have no idea where they fit in and why - I find his tactics incomprehensible, switches formation with every substitution, 4-5-1 was useless. He looks like he's making it up as he goes along. - His call to swap Boersma and Saunders. Where is the benefit? - As to motivation, we can only infer from what we see and hear, but given the worst disciplinary record in the league, reports of bust-ups, players arguing when they get subbed, it certainly doesn't seem good. I agree with Rev and with jim (mostly), every manager reaches his sell-by date apart from RFW, and I think Souness may have reached his.

I seem to recall Revidge telling us how there was some sort of contest last time, which clearly no-one is aware of this time around. So how was this Jason chap chosen? Probably related to the editor or something. And I can imagine that Scummings only lingers on due to the absence of basic writing skills among the few remaining hardy souls witnessing the second demise of our neighbours.

Both CLB and I are 45, no matter what he says. My bet is that jim is 51

My Dad's a season ticket holder and he got me a ticket along with his last week because I did exactly what RB suggests (though I spoke to Tom finn's secretary) - couldn't have been more helpful. I'm not sure I understand this "who should/shouldn't be allowed to buy the tickets we never sell normally" thing. They are being bought for people like me who can't/don't go on a regular basis - that's why we sell out some games and not others

My dad queued up 3 1/2 hours today to get his season ticket seat and MY TICKET!!!! Phoned 'em up and told them my long term history, and they couldn't have been more helpful -I don't know what everyone complains about.

Another example would be me. I'm due in London for a meeting the day after, so obviously I'm going to come a day early, fly into Manchester, hopefully see the game, sleeper train down to London etc. Didn't go to Sofia, bought one ticket in last 2 years, I suppose I shouldn't be allowed to go really!
