Whatever anyone thinks my view is that the board needs to back him or sack him. These constant rumours that he might be gone after the next game must be unsettling the players, both those in and out of the first team. Some might not put the effort in thinking a new man might hand them a reprieve, whilst others may be thinking a new manager might not fancy them so affecting their performances. So come out and say if he’s staying to the end of the season and we’ll back him in January or act now.
That’s a great question and the answer is yes, then no and now yes again. First season was a failure with the squad and the ammo he had at his disposal. Last season he pulled it out of the fire when he realised Meslier wasn’t happening and he dropped him and tweaked tactics. 100 points was deserved and promotion well earned……
