For the long term I also feel comfortable with MA in charge however I don't

believe he fully understands the jeopardy we face in the short term. Seems to be pinning his hopes on what he's been told that players coming back from injury (i.e, Duffy 😂) will save the day rather than the reality that our squad is weak made worse by the coach not getting the best out of them. The 'relegation is not an option" statement is just a meaningless platitude unless backed up with action rather than sticking with the status quo.
