However, the stakes get so high when you spend that kind of cash. we don't have the rich backers than some of the clubs do so relegation probably maroons us in the lower leagues for years. Even Sir Alex's bad first couple of years were offset by a good pot of money and a great youth feeder system.

Just too much to lose letting Ted finish out the season. However, if you aren't going to get a better coach (there are some out there) then just leave him in place. Does make you wonder if the sale to the 49's is finalized and if they can bail if we get relegated.
It's been said and think documented the sale goes through only if we remain in the PL.
