Not many managers would survive those horrendous statistics. Bartley obviously feels he can go on to manage at a higher level and will therefore keep going as it would not look good on his CV if he throw in the towel in his first appointment. As has been said before, its decision time for the BOD, do they keep faith in Bartley and provide financial backing for him to augment the squad in January or do they hope for a new manager bounce effect. Bearing in mind this squad was signed by Bartley the former alternative may prove to be futile. One thing is for sure, something has to change before it is too late.
