Another added: "Disgusting statement. Completely Unacceptable. Keep burying your heads in the sand . We are winning nothing this season. This is not going to get any better till there’s serious change at every level."

Another fan added: "This isn't the statement we wanted or needed. His recent record is now comparable to Barnes and Mowbray with the difference being he's working with the second most successful squad in our history. It's not f*****g good enough, how much worse does this need to get??"
