then if the players are not up for it who takes the blame.
Exactly. Hodgson had exactly the same points at 19 games and went after one more defeat. When people quote past clubs and situations where a manager such as Ferguson or Clough needed time they didn't have a Suarez, Agger, Gerrard, Lucas or Johnson to work with in 1 side.
If FSG are not looking to sell then I don't want an all in with this window and then nothing if we fail miserably (10th) or worse come the end of the season and he is released with a bare cupboard yet again.
2 Players plus proceeds from any wheeling and dealing is enough for him to show if he is good enough to manage this club.
Anything lower than 7th will take some explaining however pretty the football.
No way Moyes would be 10th at this stage with this team end of. 19 games and a window to kick on is the bottom line.
