Let's see how we do against WBA, Norwich, Luton, and Blackburn. Then we will have a better idea of where we really are.

It does look like they are warming to giving him more time to see how he does as a Manager without a contract and still looking for a long term appointment, like Mowbray or Bilic.
I was agreeing with you until you mentioned looking for a long-term experienced manager.

I've learned not to get involved when it comes to suggesting new managers. It's a totally pointless exercise. There are lots of things I'm happy to give opinions on, new managers isn't usually one of them unless I really don't think they're a good fit. Sometimes one person being in charge in one environment just works when there's no reason for it. Lots of managers do well at a particular club, move on, then things don't work out so well elsewhere. It's just one of those things. Maybe, just maybe, our youngsters need a different approach, not someone supposedly "experienced".

Football, sport in general, life in general, will have people who step up to the plate. Good managers have to start somewhere. Eddie Howe, just as an example, was a young coach with no managerial experience when he took over at Bournemouth. Steve Cooper was hardly an experienced club manager when he took over at Swansea. There are lots of examples.

Despite all of this, I reckon whoever gets the job permanently will be sacked within 2 years when things don't work out.
