Doesn't it hinge all on a replacement?

For what TS wants ( with of course the caveat "we've got to give the new manager the best chance of x ) SE has to go, you would definately see an improvement in attitude, tactics if not results. Maybe TS has already wrote the season off? In which case, January may see recruitment if he goes, not if he stays.

Anyhow, back to the beginning...if they had someone lined up, he would be in now.... So this is a bit of a mute topic, because we have to be mind readers...as always, it's not what the fans want.
