See you're right in theory because it makes no sense to do that. And at the same time this is Everton, so if we lose these first 3 fixtures or maybe only get a point we might be in the drop zone and they could sack him then.
Haha yes because its all going swimminglyThank Christ youre not invovled in decisions
If we've legit sat twiddling our thumbs for a month only to sack the manager 5 minutes after the restart instead of giving any new guy time work with the players/DOF, we'd deserve to be relegated if it went that way. Even the most lunatic of clowncar boardrooms wouldn't think that was a solid plan.
It might not be 5 minutes but I don't really see any reason to think this is turning around. I don't think they'll hold their nerve all season. Nor should they honestly.
Keeping Lampard isn't a solid plan, in my opinion, so they've already failed on two counts
He 100% should not get the window. If he does we are 100% getting relegated.
I agree about all season; wasn't suggesting that. I think the club are behind him enough to give him probably til end of Feb give or take. We're not even half way yet, and realistically, as long as we're not in the bottom 3 at any point, that's probably par for the course for club expectations.
All the more reason to have made the change during the break. That they didn't says to me the board wont panic any time soon. Not with 23 games and a transfer window to come. If we can take 7 points from Wolves/Brig/Saints, we'll be lower mid table. If not, pressure will increase.
I personally think we'll only avoid falling into the bottom 3 at some point through sheer luck. Which is really enough of an indictment to just sack him whenever. But it should've been done before the break.
We'll 10000000% be in the bottom three very, very soon, and likely back out of it, then in and out for the next few months, at best. Hopefully we finish the correct side of the dotted line between 17th and 18th come EOP.
I think this manager is bad and a different one might be less bad
