He seems to be cursed in getting sacked when doing a half decent job. |  | |  |

People get bored of his style of football easily, which I can totally see, but rarely seem to ask what the alternative is, or what's realistic with their resources. Oxford is a League One sized club with a League One budget. |  | |  |

Pleeeeeease let this be true. The “Is it fair to call him a C-word?” thread won’t be long for that game, that’s for sure. |  | |  |

It may be the large dose of night nurse I've taken but I've got a feeling Beale might do OK if he gets another chance. He's desperate and presumably v cheap. |  | |  |

| Rest of the Championship thread 25/26 on 11:13 - Dec 23 by Hunterhoop | My take too. I think the relegation battle this year might not be that exciting. You can see Norwich escaping with their resources, and easily see Oxford and Pompey joining Wednesday, all being relegated well before the end of the season. There is already a bit of a gap and everyone above pulls out results now and again. It’s why I want us to go to Portsmouth and win, comfortably. We are still only winning when we have less possession that the opposition, and our result versus the current bottom 3 are DLD. Let’s get a win on Boxing Day. |
Oxford and Charlton for me. They've well and truly ridden the wave of promotion now and it won't be long now until Nathan Jones is entering soap opera/care home territory |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

That’s all their troubles over. 14th century equaliser by Jack Robinson for Birmingham, wiping out another regal strike by His Majesty. Shame. Beadle still rubbish in goal. [Post edited 26 Dec 14:06]

I think if they could have afforded to they’d of already sacked him by now. The mad thing is, if they were to get a hefty points deduction then he’s the man they’ll need to ensure they survive I reckon. |  |

Good point. With finances tight at Leicester and Marti effectively paying half of QPR's compensation figure by foregoing some of the wages and the signing-on fee he was due from Leicester, he may be in a stronger bargaining position than I initially thought. Factor in the prospect of a points deduction looming over the club for alleged PSR breaches, and changing managers suddenly doesn't seem like a good idea. At least not for now. |  | |  |

Not got the players for a relegation scrap regardless what MC does. |  |

I’d hope not IF they slip down there due to points deduction. Not a club I warmed to ever. On that note…… just what the f is going on with their “hearing”???? Every single time the EFL have a club on the rack they code it up and bumble about. It makes me think even more that we should’ve strong’d em out on our hearings even though we were bang to rights on both occasions. If they were to throw the foxes a 12 point deduction, big fine and an embargo it would certainly make things interesting down there. Here’s hoping |  |

Their players are behaving like a lot of the ones Hughes and Redknapp lumbered us with - like they're too good for the club, like the relegation wasn't their fault, like they really belong somewhere else. Lads, Leicester got relegated last year because you're not anywhere near as good as you think you are. |  | |  |

That's why I think trying to extrapolate anything from our performance in that game is pointless. Yes, we played well but caught them cold with the early goal, after which they couldn't really be arsed. As you say, we've seen that vibe all too often from the reverse angle. |  |
