Well to be honest Richard whatever you think has never and will not ever affect the decision that has been made but thats never stopped you expressing your opinions or even being quite vocal with them.
So I ask again do you still think he should go today or do you now think it is better that he stays on board till the end of the season? Well I do not think he is the right man for the job, still. So why would I want a person who I do not think is right for the job to remain in place much longer? However, I see that it is not going to happen anytime soon so to be pragmatic expect him to retain his position, it does not alter the fact that I do not , yet, believe he is right for us.
I resognise that you are trying to push me into a corner so that, no doubt, my opinion will be jumped upon and ridiculed at every chosen opportunity though.
Not trying to push you into a corner or ridicule you just trying to get a straight answer from question without you taking the politicians approach. I'm interested in your view point on it as you have been one of the most vocally anti houllier and given the current results and transfer window I wondered if you had changed your view point. That is all Richard. Not everything has to have an agenda it can just be as simple as interest.
And from your post it seems that you would prefer him to go today.
