For all talk of needing an experienced manager, let's not forget that both Dave Jones and Malky Mackay have been relegated from the Championship. Mick McCarthy jumped ship just before Ipswich went down. I could go on. Bringing in an experienced head doesn't guarantee survival at all. A good manager is a good manager regardless of experience. Every manager has to start somewhere.
Everton stayed up last season after replacing the experienced Benitez with the far less experienced Lampard. Ok, this season has been horrendous for them, but how much that can be attributed to Lampard is another question. Similarly with us. We're unlikely to bring in many new players and certainly won't be bringing in much quality as Tan won't pay for it. We might survive this season. I get the feeling that, even if we stayed up, we're kicking the can down the road and will have a major job staying up next season, regardless of who we appoint.
