All the best Gab. Seemed like a genuinely nice bloke, but with supposedly a top half budget, we have become a bottom half team with no signs of turning it around.
Seems slightly odd timing but then you know what we're like for sacking managers after FA Cup defeats.
Paul Tisdale please (though appreciate that might be a tad ambitious)
It was only a couple of months ago we’d beaten Premier League opposition and it looked like we’d make a go of the play offs and Cioffi was beginning to win people round! Timing seems a bit strange after having lost to higher league opponents in the cup, but it felt like the writing was on the wall soon enough after the chants from the crowd for him to go could be clearly heard by everyone in the ground. It gives a new manager two thirds of the season left and the whole summer to try and build a team to get in the top half of the table. I feel Cioffi was a little hard done by maybe, but maybe it’s best to make a change now before we’re in a real relegation dogfight. Good luck to him and we have to move forward now.
When fans are chanting f--- off at the manager it was only ever going to end one way. Liked he wasnt big headed seemed nice enough guy but out of his depth.

Tisdale would be great, but I doubt he would want to work with a DOF and "consultant" hanging around.
Honestly the club needs a slightly wider clearout. So far Eren has gone through the experienced lower league manager (Yates), the PL coach (Drummy), the big name pro (Kewell) and now the unknown (Cioffi). You can only fire so many managers before people start to question whether the owner's team really have a scooby doo. You only have to look at their record in Turkish football to find that doubtful.
I’m quite (pleasantly) surprised that the club had the balls to do this. But 21 wins in 72 games tells its own story. Interesting that Ziya was at the game yesterday.... First thing - get Jimmy Smith back from Yeovil pronto!
Right decision and disappointing the way a promising start went so badly downhill. Edu should have gone as well, considering how bad the tactics and subs have been so not sure why they have made him interim manager.
I think the club did well some question giving the manager time they gave Gabbi and Harry time after poor first seasons. For me the obvious falling out with the senior players and banishing them on loan was a questionable call. Fine when we were winning but when the form dropped we lacked depth and leadership. The quality of football was really promising at the start of the season. We seemed to lack a plan b for sure.
Not sure you can blame an assistant for the tactics as you never know how much influence they had.
Will be interesting to see if we get a new manager bounce really need some points
