I really don't get this wrist slashing. Yes it was a dour affair and atm we look like a mid table outfit. But hasn't 17 managers since 2007 shown you anything. Hire and fire doesn't work does it. We are still shopping in Poundland for players and that's where we're at. Sacking the current management team won't name the slightest bit of difference....

I must admit I never understand the negativity towards the club / personnel. If football and its management was an exact science then the likes of Luton, Bournemouth etc [for instance] would never be anything other than League 2 clubs. There's a saying that says "every dog has its day" and it's true. We will get back to the Prem at some point in the future... l don't know when...and no doubt there will be a bit of luck behind it....and in the meantime we keep supporting the club we love...and remembering that sh1t happens...

Hmmmm....for the life of me I don't understand why in instances like this that things get left to the last minute.... the same thing happened to JCH at Pboro....
But IMO if Cash thought he'd be playing for a Premiership team he's deluded. He'd sit in their U23s or whatever and rot until January when he'd get loaned out somewhere....so other than a bit if extra money in his pocket it'd be a retrogressive step for him...

All about opinions....and of course time will tell. Fact is due to the last minute nature of the "deal" Cash would not have had time to then get loaned out to another team so would have spent the next 3 months the [probably] in Brightons reserves...

I don't get this anti Warne comment by certain people. 
Since Billy Davies left in November 2007 [the last manager to win us anything] ... that's nearly 16 years ago we've had 17 managers...17 managers... and not 1 has got us up. Warne has done 3 promotions from this league.... has effectively had only 1 transfer window... not had any money to spend.... I just wish you'd give him a break and stop this hire and fire merry go round talk....

....and equally it gives our armchair managers the opportunity to slag Warne off a bit more eh...

Playing devil's advocate here...but if Mac is that good how come he's not really won anything in his career... he's been more of a figure of ridicule...

....that said, IF we're in the top 2 by then ...then why would he leave only to be farmed out to a championship side...

I must admit I liked the way he galvanised the team with a "them against us" mentality during our relegation season. He gave us real hope. But after saying "I'm no quitter" .... he did quit... so I think  we probably didn't see the real Wayne Rooney. 
I've pasted below some info again off this site which also gives a feel for his tenure.....
Underpinning some of Cocu’s demise was the presence of Rooney. Talk of Cocu not particularly wanting Rooney at the club and the signing being thrust upon him was doing the rounds amid the squad in earnest. Rooney had been brought in as a player-coach, but did little in the way of coaching outside of sitting in on video sessions and passing on some advice to several players.
‘If he liked you, he’d offer you advice,’ Max Lowe remarked. ‘[Max] Bird, [Jason] Knight – they were his boys. I think he saw some of himself in them. He liked them. Waggy [Martyn Waghorn], too. But for some of the lads it was a bit hard to integrate with Wayne. Obviously we were at a different level from where he’d come from. I think it was hard to find a bit of common ground with him sometimes.’
Whispers had also spread through the squad that Rooney had a clause in his contract that he was going to be the next manager – something which created somewhat of an uneasy tension within the changing room.
‘Sometimes you didn’t feel like you were just playing with Wayne the player. You felt like it was an audition to see if the next manager wanted you there,’ said Lowe.
‘You’d come in on a Monday and we’d break out into our warm-ups and people would ask where Wayne was,’ Lowe said. ‘I think Waghorn would get a bit annoyed especially as he and Wayne would play on the PlayStation together and stuff – they were pretty close – then Wayne wouldn’t show the next day.
‘We never got told if it was a day off or if he was injured or excused for personal reasons. None of that. He just wasn’t there. Then obviously he’d come straight into the team at the weekend and it meant guys like Duane, or Graeme [Shinnie], or Knight, or [Krystian] Bielik had to drop out of the team.’

Is the American Dream over....
