Hills last game.....?? 15:43 - Jan 1 with 7897 views | Rodingdale | Seriously think this could be Hills last game, apart from our precarious league position and Hill being PR disaster; for five specific reasons which are relevant now: 1. New Board - Hill and Dunphy were a team, now Dunphy out of the way - much easier for a new board to make a change. 2. Constant tinkering- would be ok if it worked. But it hasn’t, for over two years now. 3. Home form. If it weren’t for some big away supports, our gates would be v low. 4. It’s 1st January. Time for a new manager to ship out deadwood and bring in some new players. 5. Gary Jones is available...... We will see...... | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

This is the problem with 5 year deals, unless there is a clause in the contract regarding performance/league position he can't be sacked, he would have to resign..Can anyone see Hill doing that? Not with an ego the size or the fecking moon as that would mean admitting he'd got it badly wrong..... | ![](/images/avatars/1141.gif) |

Hills last game.....?? on 15:59 - Jan 1 with 5289 views | KenBoon | It’s how we’re losing that is my biggest concern. Had Blackpool not sat back on Boxing Day they’d probably had won. Bradford was piss poor. This today is beyond that. Humiliating on the pitch. Baffling off it. It’s happened too often this season. If the players don’t show fight in the second half then they’ve probably lost the love. | ![](/images/avatars/1211.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think the atmosphere will be toxic if he's still manager, and we play like we have in last 2 games (game and half so far) | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

If we cant afford to sack him we could bring somebody in above him and see what happens. If he doesn't like it he walks. He would have to follow instructions though and he would hate it. But needs must | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

We don't know whether sacking Hill would be affordable, very tight financially or simply not doable. I'd like to see us get someone in with a good record, rather than going for someone purely because we liked them as a player. Paul Hurst is available. So is Mark Warburton. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Both of those you mention were on a comparative king’s ransom in their previous jobs. They will be angling for similar deals in their next job, I’m sure. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |

You're probably right about Warburton. Apart from a brief stint at Ipswich, Hurst's previous clubs were Shrewsbury and Grimsby so probably not a King's ransom. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

This is spot on. Herein lie the problems. There really hasnt been any quality signed for a very long time when you consider the quality we have allowed to leave. | ![](/images/avatars/1384.gif) |
