Just heard i’m shocked by that

I would have given Duff a couple more games but not at all shocked by that news.

Don’t know if he has upset the owner or rice but I think that’s very unfair on Duff he wasn’t perfect but he needed longer.

Not surprised in a way but why back him with a £1m+ new striker and then get rid so soon afterwards? Gah. Here we go…

I’m a bit shocked tbh. But it has been a poor start to the league, after a poor finish to last season.

The obvious thing would be to give to Bloomfield but surely no chance he works with Rice.

No idea who will be appointed.

What an absolute load of shit. We are pathetic. I don’t know why I bother anymore.

Because we didn’t have a striker!

What are we doing as a club, we can’t keep making rash decisions. I feel he should have been given time to steady the ship but it also doesn’t help that we’ve loaned out half our squad :man_facepalming:

Duff was a really solid manager and turned a sinking ship around.

Were a tinpot sacking club like everyone else now.

Not sure this was a rash decision. Don’t think Duff really had the dressing room. And he was failing big style with the players we have.

Fair point but still a bit mad. I thought he’d at least get until the international break.

Another false start. Another season over before it’s begun.

Results have been poor since March it’s true, but this feels too knee jerky to me. God only knows what the players will think.

Has head of recruitment gone too?

And an “interim” announced later today shows there’s no planning involved in this whatsoever. Madness.

There may well be some big falling out we don’t know about - or similar factor “behind the scenes”. But if there isn’t this seems premature to say the least: I hope that Rice etc isn’t going to produce a revolving door of managers.

Staggered. Would have given him a few more games. Does the ownership group have any idea? I think we know the a answer.
