Had to go and should have gone before the season started to be honest as the writing was on the wall last season.
Most if not all his signings in the past 4 windows have been utter failures.
They were almost certain to go down if he stayed in charge but it might be too late for them anyway.
He is very limited in key aspects of what is required to be a good manager and if he wants to stay in management will need to look at the Championship now.
City aside look at where the clubs he managed are now and the most important part of good management is to leave it in a better place than you found it.
Our owners knew in advance that we couldn't go forward with a manager of his ilk at the helm and they were spot on.
