I thought they'd have waited until the morning. Not exactly a shock. |

Hardly surprising. Maybe if their board hadn't spent since December publicly undermining him, they'd have stayed up. Probably not, but it can't have helped. Only themselves to blame |

They'll go in for Di Canio no doubt. Sets up an epic final day though 5 teams fighting for 3 places with 1pt between them  the sort of thing you can only enjoy to watch as a complete neutral! |

Wouldnt be so sure. Hughton is a West Ham fan.

With Man U playing Blackpool next week he must be as nervous as fuck. Remember United has won the league and have some minor final less than a week later - weakened team?! Birmingham are away to Spurs - who are chasing the Europa league dream:) If Brum lose by one more goal than Blackpool they will go down on goals scored! |

I'd love it to go down to goal difference. I don't like Holloway, but i wouldn't mind Blackpool staying up...

Same here, it was always going to be difficult for him with the likes of Gold and Brady at the helm. Some of the West Ham fans were going ballistic after the final whistle, I couldn't really work out who it was aimed at and the sky cameras quickly went back to the studio as if it was turning a bit nasty? I'd like to see Blackpool stay up, don't really care much for any of the others. Although a guy who sits a couple of desks away from me is a brummie. He'll be foul tomorrow and if they get relegated, I dread to think ....... |

Fucking hell, they gave Grant four year deal ,which is a long time for a manager, and they will probably have to pay the last three years off. Ouch !! |

Man Utd have a pretty strong squad though, arguably the strongest in the league - they can pretty much put out two completely different full strength teams. Their bench against Blackburn had Evra, Anderson, Owen, Berbatov and Scholes. |

Gold and Sullivan seem to be getting alot of shot over this but all they have been guilty of is sticking by the manager,they did the same at Birmingham to be honest.
Any other manager but Grant would have kept that team up.Look at the squad of players they got and tell me that they don't have some very decent players.

Sticking by their manager? Sure, but undermining him and the team at every opportunity. Almost like they wanted the club to be relegated. Wonder if it makes it cheaper to buy the rest of the club?
