Hey - sorry and all that .....I know we're all entitled to an opinion but mine is that some of these posts are a bit harsh on AI.
I agree that it's time for him to go, but I certainly wouldn't expect him to resign - firstly he obviously wouldn't get much (if any) of a payout to take him to the end of his contract, and, as Stairs says he's not going to get another stab at a 'top' job for a long, long time.
If you couple these facts into the one that he probably still HONESTLY does think there's a chance that he can pull it round......well - would YOU resign??

I really can't see why there seems to be such a dislike of AI amongst a fair majority. OK he's not (in our eyes) doing a good job, but he's making every decision as he sees fit, and obviously believes it's the right one for the club. At that level you've GOT to have belief in your own ability and also stand by your decisions. IMHO he's acted professionally, honestly, and has never done anything other than his best. If he's out of his depth then that's the fault of those who appointed him, not him.

We all know how easy it is to be an 'Armchair Manager'....but this AIN'T Football Manager is it?!!
