Out, damned Shakey! Out, I say!—One, two. Why, then, ’tis time to do ’t. Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much Chicken nuggets in him.

So, this is where I am.
I find with managers we all go through stages of denial/grief/proactive opposition. Some get to the latter stages earlier than others. I’m usually one of the later to get through the first stage.
Today I’ve reached the 50/50 stage. If Craig left I think I’d feel a sense of relief and renewal, balancing out against my hope that he could still do it for us and my sympathy for him as a man.
It feels similar to the stage I was when Claudio left (although clearly he had far more in the bank before it got to 50/50) and, funnily enough, when Nigel was “sacked” after the Palace match.
Any sooner I would have felt the club acted too soon. But right now it’s 50/50. I could understand and would accept the decision, and wish Craig all the best. If it goes on like this for a few more games then it’ll be time to go but I’m still hopeful that with a fair wind something could happen to turn this around.
Either way for now I’m resigned to whatever happens.
But please let’s not take it out on the man himself. He seems a decent man who of course would and should not have turned down the offer to be manager.

I don't think we actually played them, Swede.

I don't think anyone who watched us last season would disagree with that

We could be preparing for promotion back to the promised land rather than relegation to the Championship, we're just a season behind now

We would have gone down. Might have forced us to actually be competent as a club again.
Replacing Claudio with Shakespeare (full time) has to go down as one of the most incompetent moves in football history.

I'm not sure how many people will know what I'm on about here, but his management reminds me of Hal Sutton, when he was captain of the American Ryder Cup team.

For all the Shakey out people. Can you name a replacement who you’d think can turn this around?
Not that I’m not for a change I’m just struggling to know who will be an improvement on what we have with the squad we have
