When will the bullet come?

I have this worry that it's purely down to the fact we can't afford to sack him and pay the compensation. Lerner knows he's made a mistake but can't afford to put it right. That would be very scary

Sack him now and pay him off and stay up , or go down and sack him? No brainer in my opinion , wield that axe today, randy!

I think it's too late Eastie.I think the injuries are going to do us now,unfortunately

But he still needs to be sacked

Interested to hear peoples opinions on this scenario. What if Randy can't afford to sack AM but wants to. What if to sack AM and appoint a manager that the majority approve of, we would have to sell Bent!
Would you sell Bent to get a new manager in (and around 10million from the sale to re-invest)?
I for one definitely would!

[eastie]

Sell bent or keep mcleish ? Bye bye darren, thanks for the goals !

No point in keeping one of the best strikers on the league when you don't give him the service he needs. McLeish doesn't get the best of of Bent so yes reluctantly I would sell Bent to fund getting a new manager in. My concern then would be that we'd end up with Someone like gerry francis

I think Bent will do his upmost to be fit for the Euro Championship. Hopefully if he puts in a decent performance it will budge his price up a bit.

[Irish villain]

New manager everytime. If we go down Bent will be off anyway.

[levico]

Hmmm. I just get the impression that the media are waking up to our potential fate. That may create pressures for RL.

If that what it takes to get rid of AM then I'd be happy for Bent to leave.

I think Bent will be off in the summer anyway even if we stay up.

dont think we would have to sell Bent,
 but 'can he afford to sack him' i would say keeping Mcleish at VP will cost him far far more in the long run

A more pertinent question than when he might get  the bullet, which when all is said and done is beyond our control,  is when he will feel the wrath from the faithful. I predict this will be quite soon.

I don't think Lerner wants to pay another manager out for the rest of his contract, he ain't going to walk so sadly we are stuck with him until Lerner gets the message.

If you were Randy, would you want to pay out once more?
What would it say about your judgement as a businessman if you have to pay off yet another manager. If only to save face, I'm sure that Lerner will dig in and ignore the criticism.

Not correcting a mistake makes you look a much bigger fool than swallowing your pride and doing what is needed. As if anybody doubts he made a mistake in the first place now.
