There’s probably only one name on their list - Rafa.

Kovac maybe because he’s free & the Haller link.

Parker or Bowyer are probably too risky.

Biesla would be great but he’s not stupid enough to take the job.

Is the correct answer. Even if he doesn’t get another point between now and January 1st he still won’t be sacked. He needs time to turn it around.

"Even if he doesn’t get another point between now and January 1st he still won’t be sacked. He needs time to turn it around"


So even if we lose our next 6 league games and drop to last place you still think he should remain and you still think he would be able to turn things around...


If we were to get relegated under him would you still keep him?

He's lost 8 on the spin, no manager normally ever survives 10 straight defeats

If they do pull the trigger and Rafa isn't 'contractually' available until the summer (ie too expensive to prise away mid season) I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Neill coming in on a short term contract. Long term I hope it's not Martinez.
