I've opted for him to stay..................for now.
For me, the last thing we need right now, on top of a threadbare squad peppered with illness and injuries is even more disruption. Am I being naïve in thinking once the window closes and players return from their injuries and illnesses etc, CH will somehow turn things around? Yes! maybe I am.
But what if the club do sack him now? The new manager will only be able to use what we currently have, unless there are one or two signings in the next 36 hours and won't be able to put his own stamp on the side for at least another 4 or 5 months, then we are at the 23-24 games played stage, with basically what we have got now. It would, IMO, be a massive risk to bring in someone the players don't know, will have to get to grips with the replacement managers way of playing, which could in effect leave us languishing at the bottom for months.
So for me, I say give CH until Christmas, to allow him time to get his players returning to match fitness (don't forget Worrall was not fit on saturday but still had that influence on the pitch for those around him) and if things dont improve by then, then let CH go. If the club cannot afford to bring in decent signings, then they sure as hell can't afford to pay off yet another manager and his backroom staff!
