This isn’t Jackson’s fault, it’s the players. As I (and others) have said, Pep couldn’t get this lot playing well.
I still think Jackson’s contract basically says “Keep us up if you can”. He won’t be sacked if they go down, the club have been planning for that for months. His performance objective is promotion next year.
Then that’s fucking stupid as he would have lost a lot of confidence. Also there’s no way the club would just accept relegation like that. If they do they deserve sacking themselves.
I think they know they’re fucked, and they know why, and they’ve known for a while. They’ve accepted it, they’ve cut costs as much as possible, they’re planning for L2 next year. All IMHO of course, but I just can’t see it any other way.
I disagree. Costs were cut before the season started (after we spent a fair amount on shit players).
We tried to make a difference in January but who wants to come when you are already in the relegation zone, sacked your manager, replaced him with a rookie and are shopping in the bargain basement?
IMO, it isn't Jackson's fault and everything has been stacked against him but he hasn't helped himself either.
