Should we get an interim manager who can take the rap for relegation and then appoint a permanent manager in the summer, when contracts are up and more managers may become available? This may be a cheaper option than paying off a manager in the very likely event of going down. It would allow someone a fresh start in the summer without getting criticized for the outcome of this season.
Could even drop on a di matteo with a bit of luck someone who comes in not o lot expected of them and hey presto we've retained our championship status(alarm clock goes off and I wake up)
