That's right. He is part of the 'project' and if they sack him and bring in Moyes or similar the project is cancelled. Incidentally, Dave, the more I look in to all this the more I agree with you over Brands. A large number of his signings are either not ready to play or injury prone, and he failed big style in the summer when a ready made striker and a centre back were needed. Also if he is now saying that 'none of the targets on his manager list are available' it must be a very poor list. Everton should be straight in and offer Poch a top salary and money to spend in January and the summer. Thats the sort of investment that will bring a return, particularly with more of the deadwood ending contracts in the summer.
