Very legitimate reasons for getting shut now and losses in next two would make it inevitable.
But he's got previous throughout his career of really horrific spells during a season, which he usually turns around playing ugly, attritional football and given time I'd expect him to do same this season.
Realistically this season is a write off - 12/14th in league and early exit from cups. Not enough goals for any other outcome.
Fans expectations were too high. He's not and never will be a top manager, outdated philosophy and arrogant/dispassionate style mean he's never going to be popular with fans or having players running through brick walls for him.
So 100% understand calls for him to go, but maybe we should get through this season, hope some players start performing and review it properly in May.
That fact on its own screams we need shot ASAP and indeed that he should never have been headhunted so relentlessly by Moshiri in the first place.
What use is a manager whose only attribute appears to be the knack of digging his teams out of deep ruts on an apparently annual basis, deep ruts which his tactical buffoonery dug them into in the first place?
And regards your other point, I for one am not prepared to concede that this season is a “write off” with more than 75% of League fixtures remaining and with us still involved in three cup competitions.
Otherwise I might consider asking for a refund on my ST as I am sure my Saturday afternoons could be more enjoyably spent.
If we can beat Lyon this week we are very much back in the hunt in the EL.
And if Crystal Palace can beat Chelsea, having not previously even scored a goal this season, then we are not without a chance in the League Cup against them.
Of course, if we need your advice and soldier on with this chancer then your words will undoubtedly become a self fulfilling prophesy and we may as well write it off.
Bin the bugger.
Bin him now.
That way this might yet become more than another season of absolute tosh
