Very. However, and as you know, just a small piece of their financial jigsaw Doesnt mean he’d get funds or owt Don’t see him leaving, even for them, if they’re not going to invest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I think he’s earned a bit of grace due to what he’s achieved in the middle of a shit storm. If I was looking at another club that had been through what we had and they potted the man that’s bought them through it, hook or by crook, I’d think it was a tad unfair. With him, there’s always a disasterous run around the corner, not sure why it happens but his tenure has been littered with them, and imo he was lucky to survive at times last season. He very nearly fucked it at the end as well. But he’s done all that’s been asked so deserves till Jan at least. Then if we’re in the shit get rid. Of the names mentioned who could replace him, none fill me with joy. He needs to go for it on Saturday. Big style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 His only saving grace atm are the starts Ipswich hull & Reading have made defeat by hull would be disastrous and simply would have to go, signs of discontent are coming from the fans now which we have had before and it’s not nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
