They’re considering sacking him apparently.

Great. Sooner the better.

It’s not beyond reasonable thinking that after a miserable return to action and 2 points from 12 that they might be considering booting him

I'll believe it when I see it. Even then, it will have been too late.

Isn't this reportedly the 3rd time this season they've considered sacking him?

Feel sorry for Dean but we need to stay up to survive. Can’t be dealing with playing the A45 alliance next season

There has been a few times  to sack him but it's not happened.  All indications are he's been promised the season whatever happens.

Which would be extremely poor judgement and a lack of nous and killer instinct.

And would make absolutely zero business sense.

I thought that Edens was a successful, hard-nosed sports team owner.  What a disappointment.

It also shows that the noises about made about ambitions for the champions league were just noises.

It's felt like the Lerner years with a suit coming out with all the platitudes, a manager incapable of getting the team playing anything resembling threatening football and the ownership being as cut throat and no nonsense as Ashley Westwood in a pair of y-fronts reading the Beano.

Look at who we signed, from what teams and what leagues. Two gambles may pay off, extremely lucky with 3, a team full of them, it's just asking for trouble.
