Both timmy's, one was a sh*t manager, the other is a sh*t manager in the making it seems. Of course, I stand to be corrected if things turn about-face.

Rodgers is 40% vowels to 60% consonants, as is Coppell, whereas Burns is only 25% vowels. I think I can see where you're going with this.

Burns had long enough for us to fairly judge him but Rodgers hasn't?

Leave Clodagh alone - at least until xmas

Much of this is not of his making after all, perhaps more to do with the club wanting to make the books look better for any interested buyers...

Christmas will be too late.

If we are still down among the dead man by the start of December is the very latest. The way the club works it will take an age to sort out a new manager. Plus, the new man will need time to assess the squad in time for the transfer window opening. Leave it until Xmas and we may as well map out directions to Hartlepool and Oldham.

Both out of there depth in soccer management at RFC.

Burns went onto to better things in Scottish football so Brenda may have the chance to do the same in the Northern Irish league and their National team.

I think we are oxf*rd no matter what happens. If we are in the bottom three at Christmas and Brenda goes, Ego is not going to fork out any more bunce for any new manager in the transfer window. We will be stuck with the current bunch, who will definitely take this club on trips to Milton Keynes and Oldham next season.

17 points at Xmas on current form. Leaves 24 games to pick up about 27+. Doable, but a pretty tall order.

Lose or draw to Preston and our form is getting worse. Not better.

'Boro are on a wobble, another dodgy result and they could be there for the taking by the time we play them.

That could make a massive difference to our season.

Also if Kebe is playing you never know whether he'll actually whistle up some magic and win us a game. Call it a roughly 15% chance.

Has it ever happened before Ian? I do seem to recall a game where he put in 2 crosses above knee height and we scored from both, although not sure if we won. So I make that 1 in 44 starts and 9 subs, or say 2% chance?

Back on topic, Both Rodgers and Burns seem(ed) to have an inordinately inflated degree of belief in their abilities - sadly both of which proved illusory.

As I'm so frequently told, I don't go to any games, but I can think of two games he's won for us in the last 6 months. Barnsley this season and Norwich away last season. So our only win this season came courtesy of Kebe.

That must really stick in your craw.
