I definitely do not think we should be sacking him though.

we are a side in transition at the moment, stripping a lot of cost out and bringing through youngsters. we have an experienced if old fashioned manager who is a steady hand during this time, I don't think now is the time to change.
Logic would indicate there's not much of your post to disagree with.

It would appear to be a transition year post parachute payments, with bringing a decent number of youngsters through to gain experience; should we get promoted they'd be pretty exposed in the Prem. Clearly the focus is now medium/long term away from previous short term goals, ie promote.
