I think we’re in a ‘damned if we do, damned if we don’t’ situation, both the risks of keeping him and letting him go are valid. Personally, I’m leaning toward this: if we replace him now, that person must be a long-term appointment with a proven track record of managing a huge club, handling world-class players, and winning trophies. Considering a manager who’s currently 14th in the Premier League is not a serious option, in my opinion and the risk is, that’s exactly the type of manager who would be available right now.
