I like Frank as a long-term appointment. He’s got an excellent record with clubs that aren’t in trouble like we are and his ethos is right. But like you I think Moshiri will now panic into re-appointing Big Sam.
And I really can’t blame him. Relegation would end us as a club. Sheffield Wednesday or Nottingham Forrest? No, it’s be more like Bury.
Sam took us from just above the relegation places to an 8th place finish last time.
I don't think relegation would finish us. Even after a mass sell off we'd have a decent championship squad before even buying anyone. I know that's hard to imagine atm with how things are in the Prem but it's a different beast this league. Most our squad players would be top players in the championship. Look at the teams who win the championship they're mostly turd bar a few.
But the worst could still happen like it did to Forrest etc.
I'm with you I want Frank to stay even if we go down. That's not to say I don't think him and his team could have done better but they were also given the crap end of the stick and little time to sort it out. Throw injuries/ suspensions on top of that and it's a nightmare. Luck is a factor too. Let's face it we should be 3 points better off at least, City, West Ham and tonight should've been draws but errors/ bad ref decisions led to defeats.
I think Moshiri will seriously be considering pulling the trigger. It wouldn't surprise me to hear its happened before the United game or after. Its not what I want but I imagine he'll be crapping himself about his investment right now and looking for the solutions elsewhere that Lampard and his team said theyd bring. Can I see it being big Sam though? No. I think it'll be someone we don't expect or Periera lol
