I'd be very happy with that

I note a lot of support for Thelwell to stay in place.
Well, the question we should be asking is: if the DoF job was advertised tomorrow by the Friedkins, would Kevin Thelwell be the outstanding candidate?
Just as Sean Dyche will, inevitably, leave the club at some point over the next nine months, I'd expect a similar timeline for Thelwell's continued employment.
Even if one credits Thelwell for doing a respectable job in the current circumstances, the reality is those circumstances will soon change. Just as Dyche is not being considered for a contract extension despite keeping our heads above water in extenuating circumstances, I don't see why Thelwell should be. Because they have been a team, a pair in this. And thank God they were. They deserve credit. But if we think Dyche should be replaced, I think similar must apply to Thelwell - or else a lot of this is mere PR and personal prejudice.
I hope we have a new manager and new DoF - if that is the model the Friedkins follow - by next June.
The club needs a complete reboot.
