Probably for the best, but who the hell would want the gig now?

Big time.Genuinely feel you may be in the s
t this time lads.I've seen fans cheering this on Facebook and Twitter but they're misguided in my opinion, they are pleased at him going but not stopping to think as to why he would, he previously said that he'd stay on - he met Short in London today and now he has walked, three guesses as to why?
Money - that's why, the lack of it anyway. Parachute payments, player sales (few and far between in fairness) and any other income will be getting used for one thing - debt mitigation, Shorts losses are priority number one, not the club, reinvestment will be minimal, if it happens at all.
We are f
king done for and make no mistake.

Apparently Defoe is going to Bournemouth and he will be gone within a week.
Don't blame him at all, he owes us nothing.
Was it him and Kone who refused to play? Don't blame him at all, he owes us nothing.
I'm glad he's gone, as I said earlier a long drawn out stand off would have been no good for anyone. No idea who will get the job, some of the names put forward are laughable but ultimately it will be one of the most absurd suggestions that gets the job.

Look on the bright side. Harry Redknapp is gainfully employed, so it'll not be him.

Sad state of affairs your club is in. A sad state indeed. I do hope it's just a single division drop and a chance to rebuild. Best of luck

As a Leicester City fan, I can whole heartedly recommend Nigel Pearson (or Claudio if he fancies a challenge).
I'd take Pearson - he knows what he is doing, got you guys set up well enough didn't he?Axionknight said:
PLZ ELLROY, SCHATP! WE DON'T DESERVE IT 
Found this in on chron/live in relation to Pardew to Sunderland"Agent Pardew, your mission is to achieve league 1 status by May 2018, league 2 status by May 2019, and conference by May 2020. We know you are capable. Good luck."
All kidding aside he's more than capable of achieving league 1 status!
remember "buyer beware"
