I don’t agree that we will be bottom 2 at Christmas (though why we are using the C word in September I don’t know��!) but take the point that we are not likely to be above 16th on current form. Why would I stick with DA? Couple of reasons, the first being I’d want to know who his replacement was going to be, the second being I think I’d like to see responsibilities between him and KL slightly changed, such that KL is more to the forefront re coaching etc and DA sort of like a frontman. Seems to me Kenny prepares the team and spends most of the first half on the touch line, then Dave takes over the half time teamtalk and runs the second half. My observations may be quite wrong, but having witnessed Kenny with the under 18s a few years back I was impressed with him on the touch line - he seems more subdued with the first team. He is, however, not good with the media, where Dave’s eccentricities do him a few favours.

So if Dave goes, I wouldn’t send Kenny with him.
