    Think they’ve backed themselves into a bit of a corner
    No one has had the character development to justify them being H, imo. So it almost has to be a new or minor character, which would be really naff.

    But this is all a bit simplistic.
    Yes, players are making errors, but players will always make errors. Some of it is individual concentration, some of it is organisation. There’s a reason Warnock et al are successful at this level and that is because they organise their teams properly, starting with set pieces. Middlesbrough’s defenders for example aren’t individually better than Matt Clarke. They also don’t leave their 5 foot 10 19 year old midfielder marking Lukas Jutkiewicz and Harley Dean at the back post.
    The second part of this conundrum is you shouldn’t be expected to keep a clean sheet every game to win. It won’t happen. We have no patterns of play, we have no plan going forward. When Kazim came off for Sibley on Saturday, did anything change? Of course it didn’t, we hoofed the ball to him and Waghorn to compete against two brick outhouses. What’s the plan? We look like we go into games with no idea of how to score goals, just hoping that somehow we will. That is on the manager and his coaching staff.

    No I don’t know either but I just don’t think it’s a massive stretch to say he is being paid for whatever services he is providing currently.
    Football managers are put on gardening leave all the time, from what I know it is quite rare that their contracts will be paid up in cold hard cash as soon as their services are no longer required. So if, a few games ago, we had hired someone internally to replace it would seem to me to be at relatively low cost, certainly when put against the financial consequences of relegation. Maybe we do then have to pay up on Rooney’s deal, and maybe this would be expensive, but more expensive than relegation? You would like to think some sort of break clause was put in to the contract of the manager with no practical experience and incomplete theoretical experience anyway. Although maybe Sheikhy didn’t agree to that when we were letting him play “be a football owner” despite having never seen a penny of his cash.
    Again, I largely agree it’s too late to do anything now. However, if we have tied ourselves into a deal with a rookie manager with no financial or legal solution to him stinking the place out then frankly whoever made that decision is utterly stupid and fully deserves to bear the brunt of whatever it ends up costing.
    Let us not forget if we had not hired him as manager and extended his contract in the process we would be two short months away from him leaving the club for good and possibly going to coach Man United’s under 14’s. I am aware you are not advocating him being our manager.

    Ah yes very true, let us not forget that all these players are so awful despite the fact a few of them were part of a team who reached the play off final two years ago and most of them were part of a team who finished 10th last season. Let us also not forget that Rooney was only allowed to sign half a new team on deadline day and not a whole new team. He cannot be expected to do any better.

    Well firstly I’ll make the assumption that McClaren isn’t working for us pro bono which I think is a safe assumption.
    My suggestion is therefore that as we are paying them all anyway we pay messrs Rooney and Rosenior to tend their own gardens, for the time being, at an extra cost of £0. We then ask Mr. McClaren, assisted by Mr. Wassall to temporarily take charge of first team affairs to the end of the season, at an extra cost of £0. Hopefully they keep us up, this might allow us to use the difference between prospective Championship income and prospective League One income to come to a more permanent arrangement whereby Mr. Rooney can remain at home in Cheshire while we hire a proper manager, like we should’ve done in November. If we go down, so be it. We were going down anyway and I refuse to believe he will be kept on if we do go down. So nothing lost.
    I agree it may well be too late to do anything to arrest the slide now, but it wasn’t too late even 10 days ago.
