According to several web sources, City's underfire boss Peter Taylor could be even closer to losing his job now after the disastrous result against Middlesbrough.

Taylor must have thought that his boat had well and truly come in on Monday night when his City team played out of their skins and went 1-0 up in the first half. Unfortunately it did not last and with just minutes left a double strike by 'Boro did nothing to enhance Mr Taylor's future job prospects.

This has all led John Elsom, City chairman, to almost speak out against Taylor. Something that he has never actually done before.

He said, "In the end, a manager stands or falls on results on the field.

"And those results on the field have to be earned by the players themselves so Monday's 2-1 home defeat against Middlesbrough was bitterly disappointing for all of us."

When drawn on the subject of a replacement, possibly Harry Redknapp Elsom would only say, "I won't say yes, I won't say no. In fact, it would be unfair of me to comment in any way because Peter occupies that position at the moment."

Which still leaves us in the dark.
