I think after that shit show 3 nil hammering Lesley Hughes got at Spurs before he got sacked, 95 percent of blues would be in agreement too.

Yeah, not to mention conceding three against Bolton and Burnley and four vs Sunderland in just a few weeks having bought a pile of defenders. Much of the press crit was about the manner of the sacking, with Bobby Manc in attendance, rather than the sacking itself.

& the fact he wasn’t in attendance didn’t matter.

Marwood wasn't well liked by the dan's when he was in charge of transfers.
Will be interesting to see what role he has there if he goes

Yep. It wasn't the sacking per se (Hughes' time had come; all those draws did for him). Managers get sacked all the time. Goes with the territory, after all. But it was handled awfully. Just about everybody (including the dogs in the street) knew that he was toast, yet he was still expected to manage the team and stand on the touchline for that defeat at Spurs. Wasn’t there some bullshit excuse at the time that the hierarchy couldn't get to the UK any sooner than the following day? Like they didn't have access to a Lear jet or five? It was a PR disaster.

An interesting idea. We have a good relationship with Ms Staveley and, I guess, the Saudis so you could be right.

Think our chairmans have a solid relationship
