Stephen, with respect I disagree with all your comments. First season in the Premier we were almost relegated. He should have gone then. The following season was a big improvement? He couldn't win a match when Jack was injured.Some of his decisions were illogical eg his continual playing of Barclay.
You think there is no one better out there, are you joking?
The owners are putting in hundreds of millions and have publicly stated they are impatient people. Do you think they will wait? Also it's rather defeatist to say after 9 games that a European place is gone. There are more than enough games to get into 7th or 8th place, but certainly not with Dean.
I, and others, are not 'eager' to sack him, but regretfully he is not of sufficient managerial quality to get us where the owners want us to be, in my humble opinion.The illogical systems, the strange selection of some players and the non selection of others, the slowness of the use of substitutions is not only bad for the team its losing us points. The best example of that this season is the Watford match. He alone lost us three points there.
Points means places and the quicker he goes and the sooner we get a better manager in, the more chance we have of being successful.
