I bloody well hope not. Let’s face it, absolutely none really know why it’s just not

working at the moment, none of us. (And that includes YOU!) but we have seen what this team and PC can do.
So if we get rid of him, then what? Eh? Who are we replacing him with? Are the team changing? Is the board changing? Who will be providing the sunny uplands that we so desire? Everyone always seems so quick to get rid of a manager without looking at the alternatives and who’s is available. Then it’s another cycle of “ooh, well he’s not playing with players he picked” or “let’s see what happens in the next transfer window” or “you can’t blame the manager for injuries”. It’s bollocks.
We know what they can do, I’m reasonably content for them to try to do it again.
