This makes it look as if ETH is bombing since 2 years which is not the case. I have no issues criticizing him, even moving on from him. And from what I see in this thread this applies to pretty much anybody. But we have to make sure, we have the situation analysed, we know what the issues are and how to remedy them. It is a difference whether the tactics in itself are a problem or whether the way we implemented (or didn't succeed to). All this talk of ETH having too much credit in the bank for some fans, to me this sounds like a strawman - the essential question is what is the plan after sacking the manager. And when it turns out, the only viable outcome is some bs interim on top of pissing 17 million away then thats just as plausible as an outlook as the story of "bring in anybody and we will salvage the season".
The only explanation I have for the current situation is, that INEOS potential candidates aren't available mid season and maybe not even last summer. And while it is easy for fans to say "take anybody, it can't get worse" they take a more conservative approach, which isn't so catchy and effectful as many fans would want it to. Whether thats the right approach, I don't know. But my feeling is that the notion of "bring in anybody" has potential to do more harm than good. And when there is no viable option out there, find other ways to go forward.
