“yes he probably needs someone with premier league coaching experience to help him”
that comment to me says that you’re saying that you don’t think he’s good enough, that you don’t think the men he has brought in to assist him (and who he said were the men he needed to enable him to do his job well) are good enough and that he needs somebody brought in alongside him to tell him what he needs to do
If that’s the case then to be frank he isn’t up to the job (not that I’m saying that it was I necessarily believe) & should be sacked as you’re creating as ridiculous a situation as when Middlesbrough brought in Venables to “assist” Bryan Robson when he was making a hash of things coz Gibson couldn’t bring himself to either get rid of a man he liked or admit that the bloke he liked wasn’t up to the job
In answer to your 2 questions:
1) off the top of my head no I can’t, but I know there have been numerous clubs who have sacked a manager when they were in relegation trouble & their season has been saved. Long term success I couldn’t say
2) The Canvey Island loss was in November by the February Jewell had turned things around. IMO (and without seeing how the team shapes up with our 2 deadline day signings) far from impoving things the performances seem to be deteriorating
