There's no point in sacking Irvine and then waiting 3 or 4 weeks while we draw up a short list and arrange interviews.
If JP does do that again then we may as well be relegated.
Hopefully JP will also P45 Downing and Kiely.
Any new man needs to bring his own team in.
I by no means want Irvine sacked but if it does happen during this season, I agree that Peace definitely has to have targets already in mind. Even if Irvine stays at the club for another 3 years, Peace still needs a list of possible replacements for when the time comes.
The past 3 appointments have taken about 6 weeks each to be completed. One of our most successful appointments in recent times, Roy Hodgson, took under 1 week to be completed with Di Matteo sacked on the 6/2/2011 and Hodgson appointed on the 11/2/2011. It is that planning ahead that the club has seemingly lacked since Ashworth departed.
