I've been in exactly the same position all season.

I don't like the idea of... I don't want to be a club that sacks a league winner manager.

I don't want to be that club.

I don't want to be the ones who go, well, you were great last season, but now you're shit, so we're getting rid of you.

I don't want to be Leicester, basically, because you spiral down as soon as you start doing that.

I don't want to be a club that sacks managers at the slightest whim because you end up being Man United post-Ferguson.

where David Moyes took on one of the hardest jobs in football.

And David Moyes with Everson now has proven how good a manager he is, and he proved it with West Ham, what he can actually do.

But he wasn't the right manager for United at the time, but he was the anointed one by Ferguson himself.

So, as soon as you sack him, then the next person gets less time and the next person gets less time and the next person gets less time.

And so you're going in little slices until you become Chelsea, where you give a guy a six-year contract and sack him after three months because the dressing room don't like him because he has no authority.

They want somebody with more respect.

Well, try respecting that lad there.

He'll have more respect.

So I don't want to be that club.

At the same time, there have been so many times this season where I'm like, he can't do this anymore.

He's gone full on Brendan Rodgers.

He's saying bizarre things in press conferences.

He's not getting what we want.

He's not getting the football we want.
