Just get this season over with, and hopefully Brands will be decisive enough to take action quickly.
I do buy into some of the mitigating circumstances, but those would apply if we were standing still rather than regressing.
Frequent changes of manager cannot be good in the main, but we cannot continue to drift like this either.
In terms of the effect on the club and our reputation, I think we are almost beyond the point where anyone outside the bubble would notice anyway. We merely make up the numbers.
And we might just hit on someone that can make a sustained impact.
I don't see change happening though, as financially and professionally (if such an ethos exists here) too many people are bound up in Silva's failure for him to go this quickly.
Which means we'll be having these discussions in October again.
I would bin most of the squad, but that isn't viable of course.
Like it or not, the manager sets the tone for almost everything at the club. Our last three, including Silva, have been not arsed, in semi-retirement mode, and seemingly not capable, in that order. Silva should have been apoplectic with rage yesterday, we had full control of the game, and bottled it. A point in those circumstances would have been shameful, yet we got nothing.
