Deeds - if he had to go, he had to go beginning of December and have someone lined up to come in who had a reasonable track record. That would have given the new guy some time to shape the squad in the transfer window and possibly keep us up.

That would have been second best option for me. Despite all the white, would have stuck with him as I think he would have kept us up.

Worst possible option (and said so at the time so not hindsight) was to outbid the decision so late that whoever came one as going to struggle at end of transfer window.

Diabolical!
