Palace 4-0 up on West Ham in 30 minutes 😳

The decision to replace Mowbray/Venus with a manager like Rowett needs looking at as well. Said it at the time but what we needed was someone who played a similar style, another totally different style was always a gamble that may not pay off.

The question then becomes, who would that manager have been? Who was available that would take the job on for 6 games?

Money talks. 8 games I think. 12.5k a game is 100k. 25k a games is 200k etc. it’s good money and people like money

I thought you said we should stick with Venus.

You can blame the players. But in an almost exact carbon copy of a previous horrendous managerial change this is on whoever made the decision to pull the trigger on a steady if unspectacular manager who for all his faults had the self same players in the play off zone. That’s the first firing needed in the summer but it won’t happen.

It has been 6 months since Eustace got chopped and 4 months since Rooney, we have had plenty of time to not be in this position, the players are 100% to blame

But since then there's been Mowbray, Venus and Rowett. The players are partly culpable, but they're not 100% to blame.

I'm sure that, if Tony hadn't had to take a back seat, we wouldn't be in this position now, regardless of the JE/WR mess up.

As opposed to Rowett and Robbo. Getting someone in if Venus wanted it was one thing, not having him continue to be the coach is another thing entirely.

Suspect the owner (or someone high up at Forest) has well and truly lost their head after today

Superb 😁
The fact they didn’t get a pen is just weird though

To be honest I couldn’t care less what Venus wanted or didn’t want. It’s not his club and the owners had to remove him from post to at least give us somewhat of a chance. We’d be down already if we’d have kept Venus in charge.

His post was first team coach..
And prove it

I was shocked when I heard he was put on gardening leave. It’s like Rowett, said my team or nothing.

That's a belting header from Maguire !

Cov could be on the end of a bollocking here

Citeh would put 8 past Cov, probably a good thing they wont make the final.
