Wasn't particularly shouting from the rooftops to sack him but, in isolation, I could see why his job wasn't completely safe. However, on reflection, the manner of it and who executed the orders after 5 minutes of being here, just feels very iffy indeed. The upheaval at this stage in the season is a massive risk with a complete novice.as manager, who will need weeks to implement things. If this risk doesn't pay off, we are well and truly in the brown stuff. FWIW, had Schumacher lost tonight, I reckon there'd be plenty calling for him to go. It was always very delicate in that regard, and this guy will have it doubly so. I think if we had lost tonight under Schumacher (not beyond the realms of fantasy), then a) he would have been sacked and b) there wouldn't have been any of this fuss about his sacking. That's how small the margins are with football fans.

But surely you can see the stuff he did towards the nd of last season had a positive impact and helped us stay up?? We were on a downward spiral in February Whether that should have got him the job on a permanent basis is another matter. I actually thought recruitment in summer was good and with a decent manager should be fine in this division. I have no idea what point you're trying to make. Yes he did very well in asking everyone to sing and back the head coach who was young, up and coming and had a bright future in the game. He then took over transfers, assembled this squad including £3m on a guy that was never good enough to play for Celtic and £2m on a centre forward I doubt we'll see much of, £5m we haven't seen a minute of football for so far. The head coach he wanted everyone to sing for is then sacked on a Monday with 2 games in the next 4 days, we failed to beat L2 Fleetwood and got embarrassed tonight by a side that couldn't score in a brothel with a £50 note stuck to their forehead. Just remind me of the positives I've missed please. Well put

Said on here before, the club had ample opportunity to shake hands with Jon for a job well done at the end of last season and to even keep him on in some kind of on the job role just like they’ve done with Shawcross for example.
But no, we had to go all in on a guy whose experience in this sort of role amount to 6 months at Fleetwood Town when we’ve been a mental club that has even bent people experienced at this level out of shape.
A lot on here were saying he was qualified because “he did his badges/has a masters” like it isn’t a basic requirement held by nearly everyone at this level.
It’s not all lost but there is a real risk of Walters having cornered himself, he made a huge call which I still don’t really see the point of and will have completely broken the remaining trust anyone has in him to do the role.
