The only solution was to sack him, no other way. We weren't hard to break down by any means and we weren't scoring goals. In fact we've been voted the laziest team in the PL by analysis.

The problem was Tan. If Tan had just sat back and allowed Malky to do his job, we would be in a much better position than we are currently in now and we would have stayed up. Our only poor home performance was when everyone was surprised Malky was still manager and with all the disruptions from Tan causing the 3-0 defeat to Southampton. This was just what Tan wanted to justify sacking Malky and manipulate people like you into thinking Malky wouldn't have kept us up.

Now if we look at our home games, where points are to be picked up in our first half of the season, you will see we have probably had the toughest run of home games in the first half of the season. We have already played Man City (win), Everton (draw), Spurs (loss), Man Utd (draw) and Arsenal (loss). 5 teams who finished in the top 6 last season. The other 3 teams we played at home during Malky's reign were Newcastle, Swansea and West Brom. Newcastle are another top half team in 8th place currently. But under Malky, we beat Swansea and West Brom at home. So we had only actually played 2 teams at home who are in the bottom half under Malky, and Malky had a 100% win record in those 2 games.

Since Malky has got sacked, we have taken 1 point from our last 2 home games against Sunderland and West Ham who were both below us before we played them. Whatever you think about Malky, he made us very difficult to beat at home. I believe we would have got far more than just 1 point from the Sunderland and West Ham home games under Malky. When looking at our run of home games in the second half of the season, only Liverpool and Chelsea are games that don't look winnable. I would have fancied us to take points from every other home game under Malky and that would have been good enough to keep us up.

That is my opinion, but there's too many people wishing for more open, attacking, entertaining football. Unfortunately, we have sacked Malky and have since started playing more open and attacking football, which has already resulted in us throwing away 5 points in our Sunderland and West Ham home games.

The goal this season was always to stay up and I believe Malky would have achieved that.

So thats your goal. Im pretty sure if you had forked out the 5th largest transfer funds in the prem you would expect slightly better than "just staying up" after having £50m, mid to bottom half was an achievable target.

We were the 7th highest spenders this summer and I don't know where this £50m comes from. We have spent just over £31m on the transfer fees alone. Of course, there's extras like agent fees and potential add ons for Cornelius scoring a certain amount of goals and getting so many caps for Denmark for example, but these add ons will only have to be paid if our signings prove successful, and if they prove successful they will be worth the add ons. You're sensationalising everything.

Craig has mirrored my thoughts. With the budget spent this season we should be performing better. Sunderland wasn't Ole's fault either, to be honest we SHOULD have won that game but we lost our ways towards the end. West Ham was Ole's first game, it was another man's squad, we lost 3-0 to a Saints side that hadn't won in 6, still on a poor run now if I'm not mistaken. We weren't difficult to beat at home, we won 3 home games that's it. 2 against teams in the bottom half.

I wasn't expecting 3 pts against Sunderland, we got a point out of it but West Ham was just an experiment. Malky deserved to go, I don't see why people can't agree with that, he was underperforming

Re: ARE WE GOING DOWN??

Fri Jan 17, 2014 10:58 pm

We are down I think. Sure we are on the edge of the zone but I doubt we will pick up any points next few games. We really needed a proven goal scorer but Malky wasted 8 million on the Dane. That is pivotal and will be what takes us down. It's not all that anyway, premier league bla bla.....
