We are going to be relegated

We just are.

And with four managers in a season (especially if it's fucking Pereira) we deserve to be

We have a hell of a lot of amortisation for the next four seasons, and you can expect it to be at least that long of financial strife.

Not looking forward to having no money, shite Championship managers and useless players like Nuno da Costa again.

But Marinakis has imploded this club this season and sounds like he's about to make it even worse
 
I think blame can be shared .

Edu’s appointment and the change of style was destabilising . Then Nuno wanted out. Postecoglu was not wanted and Dyche has had a broadly unsuccessful career but there wasn’t much choice at that time.

Frank , Maresca, De Zerbi. Sure they can wait for better job offers but all managers who might be interested in a project with a team still in the Europa League

Players could have been better too. Sale of Elanga instead of MGW was a mistake I think. Losing Wood and not having a top goalscorer

Many factors here but if I had to pick one out , Nuno was the problem. He should have gone with what he was given. He should have shown the loyalty his words from last year suggested .

All in all very sad but we can still stay up

It isn't going to be any of those, it's going to be Pereira.

Every sacking so far we have immediately had a "favourite candidate" who ended up being the only candidate.

And Pereira has managed Olympiacos before, as one of his ELEVEN jobs in the last 15 years
 
It's Hobson's choice. We were going down under Dyche, we'll go down under Pereira. Seems an insane decision if that's who appointed by EM, and for the first time I'll genuinely question his position at the club, and think maybe it's time for him to go too.
 
Desperately sad to see after our success last season. What should have been the best season in 30 years has rapidly become one of our worst and with a 4th manager about to be appointed we have become an absolute laughing stock. Our only hope now is a ‘new manager bounce’ if such a thing exists and we limp over the line to safety and commence a root and branch overhaul of the squad in the summer. Being a WC year though quality signings will almost certainly arrive later on if at all.

Looking at returning home for the first time in 15 years in September and was looking forward to catching a game or 2 hopefully. At least if we’re in the Championship the tickets might be easier to get hold of.

Frank, Maresca and De Zerbi would not touch the job with a barge pole.

Some people seem to think we are an attractive proposition, we are not.

The new manager will be someone who is out of work; not because EM will not pay the compensation, its because no one in their right mind would leave another job to come here.

I wouldnt be so certain it will be Perreira either; Jorge Mendes will drive a very hard bargain to get that one over the line - he will want blood.

I would say the chances of relegation have now increased not decreased.
 
Daily Mail Sport understands there were certain players in the squad Dyche simply did not rate, among them winger Dilane Bakwa and centre back Jair Cunha, who cost more than £40million between them. While these are early days, Netz is not thought to have blown his manager’s socks off either.

Just sat down with a coffee and this is the first i knew he'd been sacked . 4 managers in a season ,what a fucking joke. 5/2 to go down i think we should be slightly odds on about 4/6 with all this turmoil. Embarrassing.

Well, I was not aware until I got up this morning, but I was not in the least bit surprised.

There was an air of inevitability that it would happen sooner rather than later.

4 managers and the same bunch of players - it should not take long to figure out where the blame should lie.

I’d agree with this.

Dyche was taking us down.

Pereira will do the same.

It’s a ridiculous end to a miserable season but the end result isn’t much different really.

Terrible for the club and for all of us but the rot started when Edu was appointed and everything exploded when Nuno’s ego couldn’t take it.
 
I don’t like Dyche and felt he was he taking us down, but Christ, Victor Pereira… don’t even know what to say.
 
We are a laughing stock. Deservedly so. The booing last night was likely a contributory factor in Dyche's demise.
Marinakis doesn't pay compensation and no-one with any nous will join a club in freefall.
Whoever it is will be our 4th manager in 1 season. Shocking state of affairs.
The only constant? The players. We have a mix of underperforming players and those who simply aren't good enough.
I'm afraid Marinakis needs to look in a mirror as to the cause of the problems we face.
Edu over Nuno. Ange. I feel sorry for Dyche but it's clear that players didn't want him.
What a shambles.
