With transfer window open need to give incoming manager a chance to change things a bit so thanks NH but now is time.
See 3 options
1. Short term fix and possible run at play-offs with proven unsophisticated manager - Pearson, Bilic, Pulis type - best chance of play offs but what then ?
2. Medium term - forget play offs and give upcoming young candidate a half season to prove themselves- Bellamy, Bamba, ? Hudson- could be popular with fans and could be brilliant or could end in tears.
3. Long term - forget play offs but opt to change style of play and whole structure/ ethos. Will need more financial backing and patience if initial results poor - Howe, foreign coach, ? Ainsworth
