I realise this is your view of what might happen rather than what you necessarily want but it begs the question to be replaced with who,or what ?
I think we'd struggle to find a manager with AP's decent track record who still seems capable of doing a good job (rather than a washed up former name looking for another pay day eg of the Burley ilk).
If we go down the sacking after a season route again,ending up with a Curbishley for example (who fits my criteria for the Burley ilk by the way) then we deserve a few seasons of non-achievement and no progress.
So,blindingly obvious is'nt it ?Yet some seem to have forgotten how well Rupert's revolving door served us.
