The club owner must surely understand that flirting with relegation this season could see his whole business plan flushed down the toilet! Producing youth players is all fine and well, but to make decent money...they need to be performing at a decent level!
The clubs also needs the fans to be on board with what they are doing or they risk losing their lifeline money supply.
I don't think they will take such a big risk unless they were super confident of success.
To be honest....I will take any manager that can see our need for a creative midfielder, as the last 3 have been unable to do so!
The club just need to hurry up and get someone in so the build for next season can start!
