I think that came down to who was in the hot seat.Not considering/asking who'd come and replace him now is a ridiculous argument?
We'd need to replace him mate if he left.
Look at the shortlist who we've had to replace Lampard, Benitez. It wouldn't have got any better since.
Even Bielsa legged us because he didn't think the squad could stay up.
If 777, for example are very close to buying us, then I’d imagine their sporting director would have major influence.
