What's next for Fulham

I have scrapped the poll running on potential successors after realising that not only was the line-up pretty uninspiring, but that i'd forgotten to include John Collins who is a realistic possibility for the post...therefore i have replaced it with a new version to see how long people are willing to give Sanchez to turn things around

I really expected that we might see some news early on this week but being nothing happened I think you may see him in there until the first of the year unless he can get things turned around.

I think Brian's right. He'd have gone by now if he was going to go this week. Maybe if we lose to Wigan the crowd disatisfaction will be enough to convince the board to act sooner but I fear they are giving him at least the next 4 games.

Yeah, guess you're both right. Every time I see an email saying Fulham Newsflash I think it's going to herald his departure but no...I still feel sick to my stomach that we're having to talk like this but what choice do we have?

Yep. Hopefully it'll be a 'death or glory' performance. No point in fecking around now - might as well go out with a bang, right?

Prediction: Fulham 4-2 Wigan. (Or 0-0.)

and I keep hoping that I'm in Victoria Principal's shower and all of this is her bad dream. Brian's not hurt, we're mid-table, and Chris Coleman is still the manager.

I've read on the official that we evidently have three folks all-but-signed for the January window already. Does it make sense to any of you to sack LS when he's got 15 or so folks owing him their EPL status? There'd be so much disturbance in the squad I think it would make things worse.

Last winter/spring, we were suffering ONLY from an inability to put the ball into the net. McBride, the Little Airplane, CJ, HH -- no striker could score [and thank god for Boca], so we fired Coleman and brought in Sanchez because we were panicking. Let's don't panic any more.

Look, I want the guy gone. I don't think he's got what it takes. I'm just afraid that firing him NOW would hurt more than keeping him at least through the end of February or so.

Hatterdon-

As Burgess Meredith said in the first Rocky movie, (No, not the horror show one) "You can crap in one hand and wish in the other, and see which one fills up first".

Well, I guess with the news from the club you can scrap this poll also.
