Couldn't agree more... Trouble is, for me that message is sent out to all involved with the clubs, it really is "Let's give Smith the job, we've not entirely confident he is the right man or best person though, so let's make it 6 months"... There is Gamble telling us it is the best decision for the club.
Unless, of course, the decision is made and a new bloke can't start till July due to contracts, not wanting relegation on CV etc, in which case, the club are effectively accepting relegation now.
