Watching Gracia walking away at the end tonight got me thinking that evidence seems to show that sacking a manager late in the season does not work. Without checking the stats I'd say Soton, Leicester, Everton and Leeds are in as bad a position now as when they sacked their manager. Frank has lost his first 3 games at Chelsea. Spurs have not revived under their new guy. Against that Roy has won his first 3 and Bournemouth really are bucking the trend but I think my argument still stands.
If this is so the enormous cost and the disruption inside the club with the introduction of a new man will not prove to be a wise decision in both the long and short term imo. It is surely best to change managers in the summer when there is time to reflect, plan and build for the coming season. I'd say we brought JL in about as late as we could leave it for him to have any positive effect. Soton, Leicester, Everton and Leeds have been near the bottom all season so should have followed our example and done the deed a good deal earlier. Not too sure what to say about Forest; they have decided to stick with Cooper who will, I'm sure, take them down which perhaps proves my point that had they binned him before Xmas they may be in with a better chance of staying up.
At the end of the day all I care about is Wolves so these clubs prevaricating has played right into our hands. Happy days!
