I personally wouldn't sack him just yet. But yes, if we pull the trigger, say at the end of November, it's plenty of time to salvage our season, if it's gone to shit. It doesn't mean I'll be defending him if things go tits up, as it'll be gone way beyond that point. I was all for giving him the season, even if we looked a-bit rocky, but now I'm not so sure. If we continue with these performances, we're going to have a very poor run of results and his position will become untenable. But hey, will we act in time? Probably not.
I'm starting to come to the stage of just being resigned, like I did with LvG and Moyes. With Mourinho, it was different as he was actively hurting the club, so I passionately posted my strong views on wanting him gone. With Ole, I'll become detached and I certainly won't become emotionally invested. I haven't been emotionally invested in a manager post SAF, as they haven't been the most likeable, charismatic bunch. The initial buzz of Ole was great, but I don't find him overly endearing.
I'm slowly coming to the point of going through the motions like we had to do with LvG and Moyes. It was as obvious as the day is long with those two, that we were drifting towards a slow, painful divorve. It kind of feels that way with Ole. Apologies, as I slightly misconstrued your last post: I thought you were saying blindly back him for however long, because you don't have faith in the Board. My faith in the Board is also minimalistic, but sacking an underperforming manager and having little faith in the Board, aren't mutually exclusive. I imagine Ole will probably see out the season, and though I think it'll be ridiculous if things get really bad, I've made my peace with it and I certainly won't become emotionally invested in it. We'll plod along, with a decent spell here or there, but overall it'll all be very underwhelming.
