So what next? Truly in a relegation scrap now. What will the next the move be from out enlightened owners?
I'd like to think it will be option 3, but I think it will only be 50% of that. Flores will obviously be relieved of his duties sooner rather than later, but I cannot see big spends in January. Whoever comes in, and this is a serious consideration, has to be a proven coach who does well with promoting teams from the Championship. For me, that has to be the Joka, but it does depend on whether he'd want to come back.
Id like to think we go down fighting. Even if we beat Southampton where we go all depends on other results. We can only look after ourselves, but that is what worries me the most.
Sack Flores Appoint a more offensive coach with an eye on next season Play Sarr Replace Holebas with a decent full back Add a new centre back Integrate Joao Pedro immediately in January. No nonsense 2 month acclimatisation period like we persist with Gray. Cross fingers.
I don’t think this would be the right idea, if he got us promoted we’d have to sack him again as he was one of the worst defensive records the premier league has ever seen (almost 3 goals per game) even after spending a lot of money.
The "Spend Big" argument: we spent 'big' in the relatively unpressurised transfer market in the summer and bought, well, what we bought. I doubt if panic buying in a very crowded January 'market' is going to our Lord and Master's horizon...
I remember when we used to play with the same drive, passion and hunger, Sheff Utd were a joy to watch yesterday.
