I think, in the near future, he's actually safer. Les's replacement would likely have to sack him & choose a successor.
Thing is, there's nobody on the board who know anything about football (other than Wilson) & even that is certainly questionable!
There's no doubt Les was being slowly phased out, when you consider that aside from the Fans Forum (which he'd been avoiding for years) he was barely seen in club media.
The biggest scapegoat to leave since Eric Black.
We missed a trick by not going for Dan Ashworth, IMO.
Who the hell is going is going to pick the new guy? Ross Wilson is effectively picking his boss?
I try & look at us from that perspective too & when I view us through that lens, I see us as a team like Swansea & Sunderland - A team who recruited badly & who's manager that kept them up the previous season isn't the man for the following season.
West Ham linked with Big Vic.

I'd give him a run on the right hand side (either in the 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formation).
Elyounoussi hasn't really done enough to keep his spot & if Austin remains as stationary as he is, JWP may as well put a couple of crosses onto his head.
