Fosun don't normally dick around when it comes to sacking. It's replacing that seems to be the problem.
I’ve always struggled with probability logic, so I’m just happy to go with my interpretation of that table that there is a 199.7% chance that someone’s replacing him. Reassuring.
Not at all. Before the season started I wasn't arguing that we should play three at the back because I was happy with our CB options.Guarantee you 3 CHs is a complete fig leaf.
So take your pick out of these:
André, Lemina, J Gomes, Forbs, Cunha, Strand Larsen.
You want to swap one of those out for Santi Bueno and it's going to make us better? No it won't.
I would add I think given our current personnel, playing three at the back would benefit RAN who is a very good player but lacking as a full back in that he doesn't defend.Not at all.

I argued we should play three at the back because I was extremely unhappy with our CB options...
We should have signed a CB after Kilman was sold. I had no problem with Kilman being sold, but I have a huge problem with him not being adequately replaced.
Our four senior CB options of Dawson, Bueno, Toti and Mosquera wasn't good enough in my opinion and didn't allow for injuries/suspensions or flexibility in formations.
As good as Andre may be, we didn't need him in a position that wasn't really a problem and we had adequate depth in. We needed a CB.
A CB who was first team ready should have been a priority and would have improved the XI whether playing two or three CB's, and crucially adding depth and flexibility to the squad.
So to answer your question I would drop Andre (I would never have bought him) and replace him with a decent CB (Which we don't fucking have).
I think you might be surprised.He ain't going anywhere for another month at the minimum. If you think he is, you've not been paying enough attention
I think I’d take any one of them ahead of GON. And I despise Fat Frank.
Not convinced Edwards, Lampard or Gerrard would be any better than GO.I think I’d take any one of them ahead of GON. And I despise Fat Frank.
I think leaving it longer than today would seal our relegation, the damage being done on a simple psychological factor will be to great to overcome.
The GA column needs reducing rapidly before we can contemplate winning matches.
