I would go for Sean O'Driscoll because he plays the right brand of football and he can attract youngsters from London Premiership clubs.

Mark Tovey, Bristol

I'm not surprised. I thought he may go at the end of the season.

The fans won't renew their season tickets – certainly not with what they have been watching this season.

Steve Lansdown is a businessman and he's looking from that point of view.

Alan Curbishley has been out of football for a while but he has settled his dispute with West Ham.

I don't want Phil Brown and I am glad that Iain Dowie has got the Hull job.

Kevin Brake, Lockleaze

I was happy to be mid-table and wait for the new stadium but we are losing too many games to teams who we shouldn't lose to.

Steve Coppell is the sort of guy we need. His Reading side was probably the best side to go up from the Championship in recent years.

Mark Addicott, Bradley Stoke

    “Agree with Peter Collett. Also McIndoe - where have we a left side player as good as him?”

    “Bristol City looking like they will be relegated to division 2 - Brian Tinnion replaced by Gary Johnston.

    Year 1 Saves us from relegation
    Year 2 Wins us promotion to Championship
    Year 3 Wins play off final place, one game away from Premiership
    Year 4 Finish 10th in Championship
    Year 5 Defacto fired "by consent"

    One of the most successful managers sacked because of a appalling season where everything that could go wrong has.

    Any manager wanting to come to a club as fickle as Britsol City must be mad.”

    “Ipswich fan in peace.
    Gary Johnson was and still is a good manager.
    A lot of you thought Pulis wasn't up to much but look where he is now - the Premiership.
    You are NOT going to get relegated this season.
    There are 3 clubs - Scunthorpe, Plymouth and Peterborough that just won't catch City even if you dive-bomb down the league.
    Time for true supporters to get behind your club and trust the chairman.”
