The ‘Bruno Lage barmy army’ efforts petered out much quicker today, but then again there was little of anything in what was the most apathetic match I can remember being at (my mood more than anything else) for years. He won’t go now because the logic for it is the same as it was in May when he should have been let go. We’re watching an awful business decision in slow motion, a lesson for anyone who thinks Fosun are calculating or ruthless. Surely it’s an emotion of shame that’s outweighing hard evidence as they don’t want to be seen to admitting the big mistake they’ve made.
Obviously he will go at some point, the question is how awful do they want the league position to be before they do the inevitable? 1 point from the next two games enough to cling on and hope to scrape a win against a struggling Forest? They can read the posts of people who were always happy to give him until the WC break (why?!?!), or think the players just need to pull their socks up, or think it’s not fair as now it’s now Costa that he needs more time to work with etc etc if they want to be reassured.
Im not wildly pro-Lopetegui, and I’d much rather a proper selection process, but given that his appointment seems the most likely way of getting Bruno out Im hoping against hope that this is being lined up for the international break. Doubt it though.
We are in serious relegation trouble as it’s stands though.
