The thing is you can't give managers time, due to how bad relegation is. If Ince carried on much longer, Blackburn wouldn't have been in a repairable position. Same with Spurs. Few people actually wanted Wendy gone, but had he stayed until January or later, I don't think we could have saved the season regardless who we brought in.

The gap between the two leagues is massive and getting larger. The drop can cost club so much in lost millions that they have to sell players, etc, that has a cascading effect.
