I know what "camp" you are in!

POUND!

More camp than a row of pink tents! Certainly my company was earlier in the Red Lion!

POUND!

Anyway, you have your wish. Blackwell is gone and good times are just around the corner. Now who's on the list of applicants? Megson, Dowie, Shearer...?

Changes were required, and changes have happened. We can only wait to see what is likely to happen, but nobody said that 'good times' were guaranteed by another manager. What is sure is that we were merely treading water under Blackwell.

I wish him no ill well, but I'm far from upset to see him leave.

Changes were required, and changes have happened.

Its no secret that Blackwell had been put under a lot of pressure to deliver this season, and it is a little disappointing that we find ourselves here after two games. If the board felt he was this close to the edge then they should have considered moving him on straight after the end of last season. Ultimately there is no failure, just success and excuses and it appears that Blackie ran out of excuses.

Its also disappointing that although we have seem to stand by our managers much better than some clubs, we haven't got the 'dignified walk to the car park' right for Warnock (shabby), Robson (really shabby), and now Blackwell. Its all seems to be done in a rush at times of emotion, and is so out of keeping with Kev McCabes normal modus operandi. Still, here we are and they will have to make the best of it.

We can only wait to see what is likely to happen, but nobody said that 'good times' were guaranteed by another manager.

That has been the key assumption in a lot of the discontent. Without Blackwell we will play better football, and win promotion, at least thats whats been said, maybe not by you but by enough. As always its a case of being careful what you wish for. We haven't gone through the messiahs quite as quickly as some clubs, but it will be interesting to see how long the 'Anyone but Blackwell' gang take to become 'Anyone but AN Other'...

I don't remeber anyone on here saying a new manager will win promotion. Who are yoyu referring to? Isn't it just fantastic Duncs to wake up on a Sunday and not read the manager of SUFC talking shit to us, lying to us about domination of the game in the papers?

I feel like a new person Duncy boy - happy days are here again! Believe me, it is not disappointing that we are here after 2 games - it is brilliant, truly brilliant.

Come on Warnock failed when it really mattered and his time had come. McCabe had stood by him when he could easily have been sacked before he eventually took us up.
Robson was lucky to survive as long as he did and I seem to remember McCabe determinedly standing by Blackwell when he wanted to give up a couple of years back.
No-one expects promotion but we do have a right to expect some football, some attempts at playing football, some enjoyment when going to matches.

I agree with all of that. I think that McCabe, for all the great things he has done for the club, has a woeful record in both appointing managers and recognising when it is time for them to go. The timing of this one feels strange too.

My one hope is that the past was largely down to the dead hand of Turry, and that TBs influence will be seen with the next appointment.

I couldn't give a toss about promotion this season, but I would love to see attractive, expansive football with youngsters being given a chance.

None of that is certain, clearly. What is certain is that with Blackwell, the football would be practically unwatchable. Even on your mission to be the board's anti-len, surely you can see that?
