Glad he gives a shout out to Mama. Any player the great man recommends is bound to be a future superstar.

We're about to learn a lot about the joker. Look forward to his YouTube update on Thursday about being together, showing pride and passion whilst he sacks everyone that walks past his office door.
Seriously under qualified, and it's taken one summer to show.

After ongoing discussions with John Coates, we feel the time is right for a change in direction to bring success to the club.
To me that statement sums up offside Walters, snide talking behind Shueys back, hate that sort of thing whether he is right or not. It's the easiest thing in the world to criticise others efforts rather than take on the job yourself. To me it's put up or shut up

Seriously under qualified, and it's taken one summer to show. I’m as surprised as anyone by the news. Why not let the dust settle and then try to be constructive in criticism? That’s unless you have internal knowledge of how Walter’s is undertaking his role. If so spill the beans!! Otherwise people will have no alternative but to simply dismiss your contribution as no more than bile and vindictive unfounded comment.

He'll be back out again shortly, in front of the camera calling for us all to unite again. I wouldn't be surprised if he's got the tracksuit on by midday and is doing it himself. How is anyone supposed to get behind any project at the club when they put the foundations of what the manager wants followed by a stick of dynamite? It's absolutely ridiculous.

Well it's clearly not very well planned is it - unless you think it's a good plan to give a manager the whole summer, watch him pick up a couple of wins from the first 5 games, then sack him. Is it really necessary to sit here in silence while the dust settles over every single decision that gets made by this football club?

It smacks of undermining someone behind their back. Im prejudiced as I hate the Director and Coach set up. Much prefer a Manager role that takes full responsibility.

Absolute Joke decision to be honest. Yes, we were shocking against Oxford but, for the first time in a long time, I was genuinely excited to see where we could go with this team, a young, dynamic team that will take time to gel. If they genuinely think we were going to contend for promotion this season, SJW and Coates need sectioning. Midtable and a cup run is about our level for this season, with maybe a sneaky Play-Offs tilt next season.
Unless we literally end up with Potter, whoever we get probably ain't going to be anywhere near as good as what we had. And are we going to sack them after a couple of dicey results? And who would want the job now anyway - a manager whose come in and bought excitement, a modest upturn in results, better football all whilst getting rid of the bad eggs - Laurent, Mmaee etc. getting the heave ho after a shit performance and result at a team who are flying high at the moment isn't going to inspire confidence, is it?

I remember Onlooker saying it’s pointless replacing a manager “god” with a DOF “god” and that’s what we did and in many ways Schumacher was on a hiding to nothing with the set up. I was sceptical about Walter’s appointment for a number of reasons including his lack of experience but mostly because he’s an old boy and we have had far too many of them around the club for years for it to be healthy. Walter’s as an old club favourite was always going to be able to wield far too much power than is healthy in his position and the dynamic’s between coach and DOF.

Announces top tier new manager on Wednesday…
“Did the right thing”
“Great vision and has the club at heart”
“This is what we have lacked for years”
Bipolar fans r us

He’s now got to make a good appointment, let’s see what happens. I would have genuinely sacked him in March when he changed his style. I can’t abide Schumacher he’s awful. You don’t need to tell me it’s right to sack him. I just would sack Walters too. 🤣

This?? Unless someone with a serious record rang him yesterday and said I fancy it, it's ridiculous.

It’s a sticking plaster. As I’ve been saying for God knows how long. This club will only change when the Coates leave. They are the issue.

Timing doesn't make sense unless someone has suddenly come available and we need to act quickly. It's a job for Moyes IMHO. It won't be though.

Get a Potter esque manager in and he’s a genius.
Get a Schumacher clone in and he’s an idiot.
There’s a big week or 2 ahead for Jon’s career!

If we had sacked him in the Summer, our great fans would have been equally up in arms....'Give him a pre-season', which is fair enough Well he's been given a chance with his own pre-season and its obvious he cant cut it. He should be sacked for picking Gooch for 2 games for a start. Other clubs dont hang around. I'm glad we are finally taking that approach. For this group of players, losing so badly v Oxford, WBA and Watford should be unacceptable
