Drewks, AI is on a 12 month rolling contract. I think the next time we have to change coach, which will happen eventually because Irvine won't be able to coach us for the next 100 years, I think JP needs to give out a longer contract. These 12 month rolling contracts and 18 months contracts with a break off clause after 6 months needs to end because they don't show us fans and the media that the new guy has the total support of the management even if he does behind the scenes.
You don't have to worry about upsetting anyone baggietrousers, we're all tough skinned on here (BeefyBaggie literally is because he is a whale) and welcome to the site. In my opinion it is a bit premature to say that if AI stays until Christmas then we are gone because after Christmas we still have another 5 months of matches left to play. Our final 5 matches may be tough but there are still plenty of points to be gained before then. As for AI being out of his depth, I also think it is a bit premature to say that as well. Yes he has made mistakes and yes he has failed to rectify some problems but I don't think he is out of his depth. He definitely wasn't earlier in the season when we had our good spell.
