We’re not going to stay up so the board has time to make a bigger decision.

We could spend ££ and sack Manning for more ££ and hire a new boss for even more ££, but if it’s Knapper doing the hiring then we would just be wasting money.
Write the season off, and rebuild the club from top down, so in August 2026 we have a new sporting director and new manager, with an actual chief executive.
The benefit of Attenasio being richer than Croesus is that being relegated holds no fear as we can hoover up talent at that level. This season is done.
