I wonder if this will mark Jack Russell's return to the site?!


I understand he's in talks from what I heard. He's currently butler to Pepe

I wonder if Newcastle losing Pardew has forced Peace's hand?

I suspect it probably has.

Rumours of Bruce going to Newcastle would mean hull would be looking and suspect Pulis/sherwood would be looked at.

interesting that is for sure

Thank f**k for that. Absolutely diabolical appointment of an utterly useless man. Good riddance Father Ted, we've wasted 6 months. Get rid of the other 3 then get Tony Pulis and sort this club out.
hope you've come out of retirement jacko.

People seem to be forgetting, that if we take on Pulis, it will not be a permanent job. He would be brought in the help us avoid relegation and would then leave. He and JP think along totally different wave lengths.

I even think Sherwood would be the same. The only person I can see settling for the Albion way is someone like Hughton.

Thank God its over. At least JP didnt get stubborn and persist with his bizarre choice.

From the minute this astonishing appointment was made it was only ever going to end one way, this hopelessly ill-equipped man being quickly revealed as totally out of his depth and out before Xmas.

It shows how low we have sunk that most of us are PRAYING that Pulis gets the job...pre S Clarke's appointment there were posters saying that they would burn their ST if TP was appointed.

A lot of people have said AI was basically a decent man, maybe correct but I didnt appreciate the way he distanced himself from the Brown Ideye signing right from the outset.

I can't say I've seen any nasty remarks. Just sheer relief that a man totally out of his depth at this level has departed our club.

I do wish him the best though, from the sounds of it he is a good COACH. Nothing against the guy personally at all, he just should never have been given the job in the first place.

There'll be no celebration for me. He's a good man, and I'd never wish a good man to be sacked. It was just necessary for the success of our club, which is more important. I'd like to wish him good luck in the future.

I'll only be satisfied once I hear that Downing and Kiely have been sacked. Otherwise sacking Irvine is a pointless exercise.

Spot on. A bad decision led to a disastrous time for everyone - including Irvine. A complete clear out feels like the best thing to do. For me we go for Sherwood.

Yeah we were getting slated and he said basically that Jp has a history of sacking people at the right time and fully expects us to stop up now as a result.

Hear hear.  Wasn't his fault that he got approached.  Was never a job for a novice.

I agree.

We're now after our fourth head coach in just over a year.

An appalling indictment of our boards decision making.

I didn't want him from the very beginning but gave him as much support as was possible, but this got harder and harder as time went  on, so lets hope our Chairman has a good plan for our club because no names on here fill me with any confidence.

Now this poor episode in the clubs history is over we all need to get behind the team and new manager/coach and show them support to keep us in this league
