Stick or twist ?
I'm no cautious conservative, but the names being muted as possible replacements ?
I'd say stick.
It may all be academic anyway if when the Chinese arrive.
Can't disagree with any of your points and i'm satisfied with where we are in the league.
Whilst i understand it's not been easy for Claude as i don't think he's been backed enough by the board and his assistant was a very poor appointment
But i really don't think he's learnt from mistakes made this season and most importantly the players, to my eyes haven't bought into his ways of playing the game
That would be very difficult to turn around now even if he has a fully fit squad to select from next season

Hope all is well with you and yours btw
