Its certainly glaringly obvious that Laws just is not up to the job. He clearly cannot see what the rest of the football world can. One quote from him in the Telegraph says " Everyone was in shock, No-one was expecting that because we've been very tight with our defence in recent games, losing by just one goal"
No Burnley have not been very tight defensively!...Just look at the Rovers game...ok the score was only 1-0 but should have been more, the number of times an average side cut Burnleys defence apart was laughable. It was only a combination of pure luck, bad finishing, and a dubious offside decision which made it appear close! It shows he doesn't have a clue at this level.
The players obviously dont have much respect for him...well some of them anyway...but thats an awful refection on them really isnt it? They obviously dont give a damn about the club or supporters do they! Where is the pride, where is the fight and passion. I'm certainly no Allardyce fan, but the one thing he did do was get all the players fighting together to grind out results, it was simply grit and determination, and everyone pulling together (ie Samba at centre forward) which got Rovers out of the crap last season, and to a lesser extent this one.
Contrast that with the attitude of one Kevin McDonald, who after being substituted at half time against City, apparently got changed, left the ground and watched the second half of the match with his family in a local hostelry!!...He should never be allowed to wear the shirt again...thats an utter disgrace!

Brian Laws could actually achieve a rare managment feat this season, he could have managed 2 teams in one season that were relegated. Certainly not the midas touch is it.
As for McDonald, I'm suprised he managed to get his lazy arse to walk a few hundred yards to the club. He certainly wouldn't have run it. Apparently he now joins a growing list of players who are on the list of players to fall out with Laws.
