Is Hasselbaink really unrealistic? He's only at Burton (no disrespect) but could easily be prised away from there I feel if we sold a project to him. Players would be inspired by him and he commands respect. If not I'd probably stick with Lillis until end of season. What could go wrong? if we went down at least we'd go down with full effort, commitment and some youngsters given a chance.

Genuinely am shocked he's been sacked and I really did believe he would be the manager to turn us around. Had good pedigree, good track record, built a good team with a solid defence and was able to motivate charlton players, plus he is by all accounts a thoroughly nice chap so gutted it hasn't worked out for him. It really irks me with the negativity and personal attacks on him though, got very spiteful and shameful towards the end. Hope the new man is given a proper chance before the negative nigels pipe up like british gas all over the boards.
