Whilst the thought of Fat Sam was anathema during the Adkins, Poch and Koeman periods he's probably our best bet of getting up the table over the next couple of years.
Even if we were to find "another Poch" we just don't have the players to deliver his sort of vision any more. We've now got a bottom half squad so we need a manager who can get the most out of them.
If we manage to improve the squad over the next couple of years then we can look at playing decent football again.
So, if we do go down that route and he keeps us up, let's not sack him in the summer and replace him with a fancy foreigner. Give him a chance to bring in some decent players. Then sack him.
