So even if we’re 10th in the table, playing some form of football, you reckon they’d still can him? I don’t.
Yes.
They'd have had to either issue a new contract, or sack him. They weren't issuing a new contract - because they were going to can him in the summer after we'd just finished 12th.
The best he could hope for was making it to the summer, if TFG's pick preferred then.
As is, that's gone because of results. If the stuff posted on X/shared in this thread about him getting another year on top of his wage if sacked, then only Everton could be so stupid to incentivise being sacked over seeing out a contract.
