Down, we lack the character and bottle too survive and IMO it looks like Ollie is a busted flush, none of the players appear to be behind him. We are a rudderless ship.
If I was Mandaric I would agree for Ollie to be given leave of absence blaming it on personal reasons or ill health grounds and bring in a caretaker Manager in the vain hope of nicking a couple of results and then revisiting the situation in the summer.
If we stay up then bin Ollie and start afresh, if we go down and as expected Mandaric sells up then he can retain Ollie until the new owners come in and appoint their own Manager.
But to sit and do nothing in the hope that either Ollie or the players will come good is too big a risk IMO, we have to take a chance and if MM is unwilling to pay out compo at this point with our future in the balance, then he must do the next best thing otherwise our proud record of never being out of the top two divisions will disappear with nothing more than a whimper.
