Just watched a post on Claret and Booze that suggested if we lose to spurs tomorrow the board will sack Nuno and bring in Harry Rednapp until the end of the season on no wages but a bonus if he keeps us up. I don't want to lose to Tottenham but would really like to see this change. I know it could be a waste of time and you should never go back to a previous manager and to one who has been out the game for so long. But I would relish it as he would at least get the players playing with a smile on their face with the emphasis on forward play and keep the ball away from our defence.

And it could just be the inspiration needed. As there are many things to be critical about regarding Nunos tenure but for me his whole demoralising demeanour is the worst. If we are going down let's see some enthusiasm and entertainment on route. I'm probably in a minority here but hey!

I think what Nick on C&B was saying is that if we lose against Spurs, Sullivan will agree to putting the Redknapp option to the board for consideration. It’s not a done deal. However, if we lose, it may already be too late and Harry may no longer want the job. The bottom line is that Nuno should have been sacked ages ago.

He’s obviously only interested in lining his own and Mendes’ pockets by turning down players who are not Mendes clients and only bringing in those players that are. Everyone’s using the club as a cash register. We are cattle trucked.

Hammer D love the optimism you have regarding Rednapp. I personally don't see that working out either mainly for the following reasons- (by working out i mean staying up)
Firstly he has been out of the game far too long, football has moved on a lot since then.
Secondly and more important is that he will still have the same group of players. Unfortunately past recruitment has screwed us massively. I was 1 who thought Moyes time was over when he left but look at the players he signed - soucek, coufal, even JWP.

All professionals who work hard. Yes the talent isn't necessarily there but the character of these players is what you need at a club. We have too many players right now with the wrong character, we lack a proper captain, we have an awful board whos sole purpose of moving stadium was to make money. As Tin legs says we are a cash register for them. Until the board go you can bring in any manager you like but we are doomed. Start putting the championship stadiums into your sat navs ladies and gents!

No that’s true but it should be an immediate decision even by this board standards. It might be a complete and utter disaster and lose every game but the writing is on the wall already may as well go out with a flourish. Most other names banded about haven’t inspired me at all and whilst this is a total Wilde Card and unpopular with many of our fans.

I just want to see if he could have us play in a more cavalier style. As you say either way we are knackered

I think also its a short sighted option. We need to plan for next year. We need a young, progressive manager brought in who doesn't have staying up expectations placed on him. We are done and down, don't see a way out so let's build for a promotion push now.

I can’t disagree with any of your points Chris. But it would simply be until the end of season. But One thing the last 4 managers have apart from playing ultra defensive football is there seems no enthusiasm whatsoever and we need to see some, it’s amazing what a bit of that can do. Obviously I want this board gone asap but there is no likelihood of that happening any time soon.

Someone like McKenna would be my long term choice if Ipswich fail to get promotion. I personally think united are making a mistake with Carrick. Okay he will have better players at united as opposed to borro but I don’t see what is going to all of a sudden turn him into a good manager. So I wouldn’t want him either
