Yes he’s had to deal with a lot this year, but he’s also gotten away with the situation of 2 clubs being effectively relegated already, Luton Town being in the Premier League and another club having points deducted.
How he ends the season should dictate his future. It might seem unlikely but it’s possible to finish well clear of the bottom three with the fixtures we have left.
He’s not helping himself at the moment though. At some point the question will turn from “could anyone do better?” to “could anyone do worse?”.
It wouldnt
We've only survived relegation in the final week of the last 2 seasons and in that time we have sold £150m of forwards and replaced them with loans, free transfers and lads bought on the never never
Even Bournemouth who finished above us last season spent over £120m during the summer
The aim this season was to try and balance the books and try and be competitive which is what have been in majority of matches
Has ever a club had to deal with as much uncertainty as us this season
An absent owner, a dubious takeover lasting over 6 months, no functioning board, 2 PSR hearings, an initial 10 point deduction and awaiting another possible points deduction
The fact that we aren't already dead and buried is an achievement in itself
