If the board think Keith Hill is the right man for the job

then they should keep him and back him as much as finances allow. If they think he's the wrong man for the job they should sack him. But the worst thing they could do is believe him to be the wrong man for the job but keep him any way because they can't think of a viable alternative off the top of their head. Nobody knows how another manager would fair at Barnsley. Judge Keith Hill on the job he's doing under the circumstances he's doing it, not by comparing him to what you imagine someone else would do, which has no basis in reality.

Keith isn't the right man for the job because you can't think of anyone better. He isn't the wrong one if you can. He's the right man for the job if you think he's doing a good job under the circumstances. He's the wrong man if you think he isn't.

 

Too sensible and clear thinking for this board Jay.
