Pathetic, dross against a very ordinary team. I won’t be attending Welford road again until Murphy has gone. He’s not worthy of the position he holds, for God’s sake replace him!

I know (think) they are contractually obliged to do so but I really hope our players and coaches have the good grace to decline any interviews after this - we all know the kind of soundbites that will come out, we really do not need to hear them.

Thankfully that awful debacle is over. I feel sorry for those Tigers fans that paid good money to go and watch that dross. :smt009

I now firmly believe they are trying to get Murphy sacked, that smelt of every football teams performance I have ever seen in the dying days of a coach when the players knew, and they are the first to know, that the coach was out of his depth and they are simply not listening to him.

Apparently they want £60m for the club, they'll be luck to get £60k at this rate

Why? Promote the attack coach after what we've done in attack this season.
he is a far better coach then Murphy and it will have an effect as a caretaker

But it's not your club? This is the bit that hurts an old exile more than anything. Why do I support Tigers? Because they are my hometown club and that club was full of local, or at least English talent.

What allegiance can I hold to a bunch of vagabond players from around the world brought in to represent my home town? It's not the same. Ok. Everyone will cry, "Stick in the mud! Move on! Forget tradition" and also "It'ss a business now, not a club!"

So if it's a business and you want me to support it you can start by putting a product on the pitch that pleases my eye and is worthy of my backing.

I'm not a coaching expert, I don't pretend to know more than the professionals, but I do know a good product when I see one.

I'm not looking at a good product now.

The man who has masterminded this blistering(ly awful) attack doesn't exactly fill me full of glee.
Yes, but just how much input is he actually allowed? :smt017

There's a line in Apollo 13 when they're asking how long it will take to power up the LEM. When they hear it'll take 2 hours by the book, Lovell says:

"I don't think we have that long."

So - this 3 year plan.......

Personally, I can't believe how low we have stooped. That's all for me today, and for a while. :smt039
I could agree with you...but then we'd both be wrong.

Wrong adjective there Thomas! Exceptional would be more appropriate.

It's a shame that some are going down the xenophobic route and blaming the foreign players for everything.

The depressing thing it is all so predictable. Every time this season we have been well beaten when we come up against a decently coached team with reasonable players. Until we get a decent coach these days will continue until relegation. My fear is how this can be achieved with the track for the past five years of our board and owner Tom Scott

12 of the starting 15 are English today and I'm pretty sure the other three aren't homeless or unemployed...

I think you may be right, the 'player power' though is awful - but it did for Cockers too....

Oh, you're about £59,999.00 too high there.
