We didnt see that he was gonna be as bad as he was when we gave him £12m to spend. For all the injury excuses you have to admit that Murray must have seen something he really wasnt happy with to let him go before the end of the season, nevermind Nov!
Better to get rid now. Get someone new in and ensure we dont go down
my point though Dan is he has spent £12 fucking million pounds on players.
The new manager comes in say - does't like Diawara - doesn't like reid - think Jimmy's past it - traore is no good.
We are bottom - players who are at the bottom of the table are not going to recoup what we spent on them ,should the new manager want rid, are they -
Murray already said Dowie has spent some of next season's budget. Madness - I hope I am proved wrong and if I am I will hold my hands up but this is just wrong IMHO
I feel we are in a FAR worse situation than we were when we were drawing up the short list of who was going to take over from Alan C. We are now not only seriously in the red having spent 12 million, we also have alot of fresh new signings on BIG wages, Prem wages and we have People liek Darren B and Luke Y on serious coin......
If we have not lined someone up, and have not been working behind the scenes on something prety good, Im afraid we are absolutley in the Sh*t........
If this is knee jerk I will be furious.......( as in no back up plan)
Were not gonna be able to get rid of too many anyway cos the transfer window is only 4 weeks long...
But at least now we might be able to get out of the relegation.
Whats worse having a manager "stuck" with players or getting relegated and lossing shedloads, plus not being able to sell the players at the correct value cos everyone knows were gonna have a car boot sale cos we cant afford their wages in the CCC?
The players he brought in might have been by the director of football guy, what's his name?
Also has been said on other threads they looked like former Curb's targets? Mybe Dowie has said they aren't my players and walked, told you they would not be good enough.
2 mistakes by Diawara on Saturday cause a change?
At the end of the day we do not know, the players who have come in have improved the team in my mind (though the sooner we see ElK not in the tam the better).
I would imagine with all incoming we have been cautious and all will have clauses in event of relegation in terms of wages/being sold.

Can't see where Talal is to blame, he has done alright so far this season imo!
The ElK has had one or two good games of late but was shocking at the start of the season to be frank, he gave up at Fulham and that was what 3 games ago - jogging back to the middle when running was required.
[cite]Posted By: Charlton Charlie[/cite]Mirror tomorrow says it's tied in with Hasslebaink (alledgedly)...not so sure myself, but there you go...
I really am beginning to thoroughly dislike Hasselbaink. If he's involved in causing discontent leading to Dowie's departure then I'm really going to dislike him.
I Don't Think the Directors Have NOT Thought About This Before,Must Have A Plan B? FInancial Thinking,Staying In The Prem, Not Going Ahead With Ground Developments(Just Yet)Next Years T.V. Money,Loss Of Squad Members & losing season ticket holders.If Alan LOST THE DRESSING Room,What Has A Young Inspirational Mananger like Ian Dowie Contributed. WHY NOW.

If he walked he may well have reasons that could not be anticipated as he does not come across as a quitter or a runner.
