I hope he has 7.5 years left as it would mean he has done a grand job!! Realistically, he probably has until the end of the season. However he and the management are responsible for the mess we are in. We had a one off good season and foolishly never capitalised on it. Based on the business done by everyone else, we are probably about par in terms of league place and players brought in/money spent. Debuchy is a great start to this window (and tells me Pards has a season left at least) but we really need a CB or two and a winger come striker to support Cisse and play alongside Ben Arfa.
If he sees out another 4 months it means you will be safe. If he doesn't see February out it means you're in **** straights. That's the reality.
