Heartening, at this time of year, to see so many Club Boards full of the Christmas spirit...
My money's on gin, in most cases.

see, this is where the board are ridiculous. give him over £100 million to spend in the summer (even if he didn't have the sole say on every transfer), then not even halfway through the season give him the boot?!? i still suspect he'll come very good somewhere. just two high profile, high pressure jobs and in the end, not given a massive go in either of them. him and steve clarke each had a full season and a bit. if things are going very badly wrong, then make a change; but until then, give them the opportunity to get out of a bad run.
i know about west brom's record this year, but i watch MOTD and MOTD2 every week and they usually appear to be well in games - not like that spineless fulham performance at west ham the other week. what do their board expect? top ten on a third of the resources of the rest?

don't be criticising gin, macca. it's full of junipery goodness. was my main tipple for a few years...
zola too! i hadn't even read that one! again, they're in an absolutely awful run of form, but they only narrowly went out in the play-offs last season. he's another one that's not really had very long. at county we know the destructive effect of manager-churn. eighteen months ago was it that they were getting rid of sean dyche and now he's got the cousin-worriers top!

Is that a decision you agree with, Downy?

I've not seen them play so not sure.
The captain, Jacob Burns, returned from two weeks suspension but only made the bench. He didn't get any game time but both Edwards' sons did. There's been a bit of a player revolt and Edwards lost.

Player Power is the worst thing in football, the money they're on they should be treated like slaves, they are told how it is and that's it!

I agree, Fudgie.
I can see the players' point regarding Edwards' sons, but the manager's decision should be final. That's what he's paid for. That sounds like a weak boardroom to me, unless the fans have been vocal over this issue also, Downy?

I'm a bit torn on this one... remembering Jake Simpson!

That's a very fair point, Maccy.

If he has been unfairly dropping players then it should be a board issue and nothing more, the players should have no say in this!

Mackay gone from Cardiff, predictable but no less disgraceful, a Carling Cup Final and promotion from the Championship, utterly disgusting, heres hoping Cardiff go down in the most humiliating way possible!
F**k modern football, seriously f**k it!
