Im pretty sure that todays performance and result has changed Macabes viewpoint.

I think we will be saying bye to Nigel Adkins by the end of next week.

Oh, you mean attendances. I don't believe that makes us huge.

Next season Villa and probably Newcastle will be big clubs in the Championship and we're nowhere near the same bracket of club size.

I'd put us more Ipswich/Birmingham/Charlton in stature.

Sure, but you said "..Fairly big in League 1, bang average sized club in the Championship..."

So if we are only "fairly big" in League 1, who is really big?

And I am sure that this season, on a good few occasions, we had gates that only a few championship clubs beat us on, so hardly average?

Nobody's really big. We get bigger attendances than the other teams, that's it.

No mate, think about it, if "Nobody's really big", how can we be (by your own words) fairly big?

Makes no sense. Our much bigger ground and our much bigger gate (no matter our league position) makes us very big in League 1, and in fact bigger than a lot of championship clubs If anyone is punching under their weight, it's us. If any club was worthy of that cliché, ":sleeping giant", it is Sheffield United.

Ok, fair enough. Good for us being a big club.

Mate I'd say we still don't come anywhere those 3, I know it was a long time ago but Ipswich Town actually won the League in the early 60s, Birmingham City beat Arsenal in the League Cup about 6 seasons ago, while Charlton had a solid 7 year spell in the Premier League that came to an end only a decade ago.

We've done absolutely nothing of note having been out of the top flight consistently since the 60s, that's 50 years.

We've even fallen behind quite a few other clubs that were much much smaller than us, the likes of Fulham, Hull City, Burnley (who also won the League in the early 60s) and Wigan Athletic who beat Man City for the FA Cup not long ago, resulted in a spell in Europe albeit a very brief one and about 8 years in the Prem.

All true. I was thinking more in terms of fan base and how (in)significant fans other than our own see us.

Forget this guy. I'm going for a left field Bladey Blade suggestion; Tri Dellas.

He took AEK from the third tier to 4th in the Greek top tier in 3 years.

He's got this gig sorted.

AEK were in the amateur league by choice, then went through the football league to the super league and left by mutual consent after a fall out with the chairman. Him and Borbokis moved to Atromitos last year. To be honest, I could have done that with AEK's team.
I often see the pair of them having coffee with some of the team very close to my place.

Hold on..... What?!!?

'Skin Em' Vas is his assistant?

Having initially posted tongue in cheek, I'm now sold. The campaign officially starts here.

The SUFC reference has now gone and in the edit history it says "(Removed an untruth put their for humerous effect.)" - there spelling misstakes not mine ;)

I'll have another word. They've actually done well at Atromitos taking them from near relegation to finish just outside the Euro play offs, and reached the cup semi losing 2-1 on aggregate to AEK managed by Gus Poyet, who interestingly has now left and apparently will be the next Villa manager.
 
I was starting to think that if kmc was going to fire Adkins that he would have done it by now. And then I remembered Cloughs sacking......

"The 51-year-old Yanal coached Eskişehirspor this past season and led the Central Anatolian side to eighth place in the 18-team Süper Lig. He had previously coached Denizlispor, Ankaragücü, Gençlerbirliği, the Turkish national team, Manisaspor and Trabzonspor but achieved only scant success. In fact, he left or was forced to leave almost all these teams, except Eskişehirspor, before his contract expired. The reason was that Yanal usually adopted a self-destructive tactic of going all out on attack and leaving huge holes in the midfield and defense. That may be why matches involving a team under his tutelage were interesting to watch and also the reason why his team, more often than not, conceded almost as many goals as it scored. Yanal may have changed his tactics a little bit, but the result remained almost exactly the same. While managing Eskişehirspor, the team scored 48 goals but conceded 40."


Could be interesting!

Two big centre halves and he'd be sorted.

Please don't hold your breath 58, the colour blue will not suit. I feel another few months of nothingness, apathy, silence, infighting, board changes, reorganisations etc. Whilst all around us L1 clubs will be ditching their deadwood and snapping up promising youngsters from PL clubs.
