I've been saying since about March that he had to go. I was shocked he didn't go in the summer to be honest. Could have left with a modicum of dignity intact. I never rated the guy, people bang on about record number of promotions but most of those were more 15+ years ago when the championship was simpler. He's had as many sackings as promotions and that never gets mentioned.
His football philosophy is more basic than Pulis's, his sub making worse, he is a poor poor manager in today's tactical game. On top of that he tends to lose the faith of his players after 6-18 months, and then can never seem to recover it.
It's who he is, it's what he does. Get out tomorrow, then we can get someone in that has some footballing intelligence and can try and pick up the pieces and before all chance of play offs is gone and another season disappears away.
