There is no sense in sacking him. End of story. If I was Manning currently I would want

Results and wouldn’t be relying on developing youth player to do that. That said we have a young inexperienced team in championship football. The midfield that started v Wrexham had a handful of games at this level between them.

We’ve such have to preserve with Manning, he is not a s**t manager, but we don’t have exceptional players at the moment and they have not had a long enough together to be a good team - yet. We have - as usual - a lot of potential, that given time will improve. A couple of decent transfer windows will help too, but do that with a different manager that wants to start again makes no sense.
