We've got two options, otherwise we will be relegated.

Option 1, is call an emergency meeting and end Freedmans contract ASAP! pay a bit extra to get a better candidate to move us up the table, Speculate to Accumulate.

Option 2, is the owner Mr Eddie, has to put his hand into his own personal pocket and spend 5 million on this team, because playing the way Freedman plays, the players don't suit his style, proven time and time again.

I'd prefer option one, but if Gartside just keeps sitting there doing nothing its going to get worse, if none of the above happens prepare for a relegation battle.

Or we could just play better and stop throwing games away.
Radical suggestion I know, but one worth considering.

I agree, but how long do we have to wait?

Lusty there's no real sign that anything this season is going to be different to last. Come January we will have to cross our fingers and pray that some loanees come in and get us out of the mess Dougie will create AGAIN. And given that we're now seeing potential young loanees jump ship and go elsewhere before they even arrive (Jordan Ibe) I'd have to say the prospects are bleaker than last season. 

Playing better and not throwing points away would of course be ideal but there's no sign that DF has any idea how to get them to do it.

Sure but there's no money to spend so we won't be getting any new players therefore the ONLY option is to play better and stop throwing games away.

On top of that there's no money to pay Dougie off and even if there was, there's no evidence that another manager would take the job - even if we had the money to pay a new manager.

So we're stuck with these players and this manager like it or not.

And if it turns out that the club suddenly find some money to change managers I'll be wanting to know why that money wasn't available to Dougie to bring in the strikers we obviously need.

Don't think it will happen though so I reckon we might as well get behind the team and manager.

There's always money to get rid of managers, especially ones in the last year of their contract.

This must be a first! A football club held to random by a manager! A company unable to afford to sack an employee! Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?

I can see us bringing in several rounds of loan players and finishing mid table.

The only problem is, that gets everybody back on Freedman's side, he gets a new contract and we're back to square one.

I can't. I see defeat at Leeds (another crisis club) and the clown being shown the door.

Yes

fans bemoaning the prospect of winning games. 

Heard it all now.

Dare i say Leeds fans wouldn't do this.

Do they keep it hidden in a tin on the top shelf in the canteen in case the manager is tempted to do something stupid with it like buy better players?

He is useless but not as crap as the new Dr Who.
