We're becoming a bit of a joke... (if this is true)

 

Just read similar. Must be a joke

 

Yep.

High time we had a change.

 

I reckon they have someone lined up if true..

 

Daily Mail have it as a breaking story. What a mess.

 

What the hell is going on?
I know the Daily Mail are not the most favourable bunch on here but for a reputable Journalist to announce this pretty worrying.

 

Exactly. He wouldn't bother if there wasn't a grain of truth in it.

 

Pretty ****e behaviour from the Pozzo's if so. You can't appoint someone, tell them they're the manager then get rid of them after two games. That's not on.

 

Drawing at home to Brighton was not good enough. Swift action required and taken by the owners. They know what they are doing as they took over from Bas and saved us.

Well they didn't announce McKinlay's contract length when they made him head coach, I don't think there was anything to suggest that he wasn't just a stop gap until a full time one was found?

 

This is brilliant, it's like a new TV reality program, where you get to manage a championship side for 2 games !

 

inb4 fell out with Deeney

Insane if true!

 

Do you think he was on a 6 day contract?

 

didnt he resign from his position with the Irish national team too?... if he's been given the elbow already, on the face of it thats pretty poor.

 

This cannot be true as it would make the Pozzos look like right cents

 

Only reasonable thing I can think of is that he's going to Fulham. If not that then wtf.

 

Oh wait, he left his Northern Ireland position. Pretty ****ty from the Pozzos then, poor show I'm afraid.

 

Absolute shambles.

 

Am I the only one who hopes we repeat this again? We're doing OK and if we set some sort of record for the number of managers in a season in the process of a successful season, I would take great pride in that.

 

Are we gonna have a manager of the season vote at the end of the year?

 

Who's to say the Pozzos did away with him?

 

I don't get it.

I don't care if this joke has been overdone - I. Do. Not. Get It.

 

Maybe Kit Symons has got the Fulham job and wants him to be his assistant. I could see him leaving if that's the case, he has no ties here.

 

I am just confused.

 

I know you tend to get a bit of a "new manager boost" to results but I think this may be taking it a bit far.

Hoping this is Daily Fail BS.

 

Sack manager. Appoint manager of next opponents. Beat managerless opposition. Repeat.

It would be a good tactic as it's like cheating on football manager.

 

Oh please! Why would he want to go from being head coach at Watford to assistant at Fulham?

He's either got a the managers job somewhere else or the Pozzos have got rid.

Very peculiar either way.

 

The Venkys held on to managers at Blackburn for longer, and they were the ones who got rid. If McKinlay was going to leave, why would he wait until tomorrow? Something doesn't seem right, unless he has been offered another job.

 

Whatever is happening is a joke. Sorry this is not how you run football clubs, unless Garcia has had a change of heart (excuse the pun) and the medics have given him the all clear to come back.

At this rate, I actually fancy TVOR to have a stint in charge with Fessi at wing back!

 

Accidental dislike. Beg pardon.

 

Sorry don't know if anyone has posted this yet but just incase
