Player Valuation: £60m
This is a good post tbf.... but he will be given that chance. You know that, I know that and everyone who posts here knows that.
For better or worse we ( well, the board ) will give him every chance to show that this bloody awful season was a one-off. In theory, if he rinses and repeats for the first half of next season it will set us back, but in practice it won't set us that far back. If he gets a half way decent start to the season, then he'll get the full season. If he continues with our current form then, chances are, he won't last the whole season.
Worst case scenario is we lose a season ( or half a season ) and we have to rebuild with a different manager. In the long term, that's not actually that awful, it just feels like it to us. Best case scenario, he learns from his mistakes and we get back to something like we were last season. I'm by no means convinced he'll learn, but I reckon it's a chance worth taking.
Though, i'm worried about our players that want to jib. That will be the biggest demoraliser, and also how he manages to bring players in after such an abysmal season.
