When will the bullet come?

A lot of debate about this on different threads, so when, if at all, will it happen?

I keep logging on here in vain hope that the deed will have been done, but am constantly disappointed but unsurprised. I'll keep hoping it will be done after Stoke, as I genuinely fear we will go down. Come on Randy your idle approach to this club needs to stop for your sake and ours.

I went for the third option, but think he will go if we got down, which i don't expect to happen.

If previous results are crap

It should have came after the Man City game. A change then would have really given us all a huge lift. A change can be as good as a rest, especially when things are as stale as they have been.

I'm torn between thinking he may be gone at the end of the season and him being here for a while.

He acts in the manner of a man who know's he's as safe as Fort Knox.

I think the fuckwits would keep him if we got relegated for his 'excellent Championship record.'

He's going nowhere I'm afraid.
What will it cost to sack him? I've seen and heard that it'll be somewhere around the 4-6 million mark.
And who do we replace him with?  We've got no money to embark on a massive squad rebuilding exercise, though god knows it's what's needed.
I just can't see the likes of Brendan Rogers or some of the others mentioned on other threads being willing to work under the financial restrictions we are working under at the moment.
We could go out on a limb and get a young inexperienced manager who buys into what K.Mac and Sid are doing at Bodymoor Heath and goes with the kids but I think that if we did that it could take another season of bumping along in the lower reaches of the PL before we see that paying dividends.

I do not believe this will happen.  He is here long term.
Ideally, if and when we are mathenatically safe, I say thats when they should let him go.

I reckon the only way he will be sacked is if we get relegated. Otherwise he will start next season as our manager.
