Like I say his decision making is counter intuitive, he spent almost 100million gross between summer 2014 and January 2015 so there is no argument to be made for him that he's not being given the cash.

We know that there is hardly any pressure on him for his job so it's not about being scared to spend in case it makes no difference to our fortunes.

The guy is stubborn, ridiculously so and even though his desire to win things remains, he hamstrings himself (which is a reason to get rid of course).

Not that I'm saying this as an excuse to do nothing, but we can't become a Chelsea like club and a new guy needs time which does imply things getting worse before they get better.

It would be a few years under a new manager before we are ready to challenge for the title and European cup and most likely would fall outside the top four in that time. Fortunately we are in a position to take that risk.
