Paul Merson has sensationally stated that if we lose to Scunthorpe on Saturday - He'll resign.

^{What he thought about Players performances}

• ^{Some people showed some real heart, but the rest, they just folded.}
• ^{They know they have let him down.}

^{On the blame}

• ^{He said we should blame him.}
• ^{Don't put the banners up, back the players in the coming games.}
• ^{He knows he is the blame.}
• ^{"forget me" was repeated a few times, even if we'd have lost "25-0" today he wouldn't be walking.}
• ^{People can blame him for letting Jorge, Fryatt and Bennett go.}

^{On facing the media}

• ^{The players offered to speak to the media and shoulder the blame}
• ^{Merson said he didn't "want to duck"}
• ^{He brings in the players and if they don't perform it's him to blame.}

^{On coming games}

• ^{Get behind the team.}
• ^{It's the biggest game since the Rotherham relegation match in 2004,}
• ^{If we lose he will go.}
• ^{Oakes and Westwood look like they'll be out injured.}
• ^{Gerrard will be suspended.}
• ^{He's got injuries and suspensions coming out his ears.}

^{On the recent run}

• ^{He said after the Barnlsey game that this was going to be a tough run.}
• ^{He told the players this tough list of 5 away games could cost him his job.}
• ^{The home form is good enough and should get us back on track.}

^{The key theme was forget about me, stop he banners, I put us in this situation I want to get us out of it. If we do lose I'll go.}
