9 points outside the play-offs. A big ask but still 'doable'. Not sure what they'll gain by sacking him now? Unless they had already lined someone up and are worried that manager might go elsewhere in the summer if they don't act now. Otherwise it seems a bit daft.
Not really surprised, for a side targeting an immediate return to the Prem, they've been bloody atrocious this season after a decent first few months. They're a mid table championship side at best atm.
