Frankly my dear, bollo*ks. The last 6 months? Try the last three years - I don't recall Rafa getting a pass like this imbecile, despite being infinitely better. The message in sacking hodgson after 8 league games and 6 Europa league and ione CC - so actually, 15 games- let's be honest here - is that he's not good enough, never was good enough, never will be good enough, should not have been appointed. What that means is we don't tolerate epic failure - and this is epic. The worst manager we've had since Don Welsh - even worse than Phil Taylor, manager when I was born. It's nothing to do with class - you know what class is? Not appointing mediocre talents like Hodgson in the first place and thereby admitting you're no longer on top of your game and putting yourself on a hiding to nothing in the first place - whole shedloads of us even on this one forum said way back we didn't want him because what we feared was waht has come to pass. As for being a laughing stock, aww bless - The day I give a sh*t what other clubs fans think of us is the day I start wearing a Man United shirt - ergo, it ain't going to happen.
