i'm just wondering what everyone's take is on potentially keeping le bris even if we are relegated. just like ipswich have with mckenna. build around le bris so that we can go again?

(btw i'm not saying we're going to be relegated, just a thought)
 

I'd lean toward yes but depends on specific circumstances. If things go horribly wrong and he starts throwing blame around that is unwarranted, for example(I don't think he would), then need to consider something.

McKenna has probably earned a bit of time as he got Ipswich promoted twice. He did very poorly last season in terms of signings and tactics for me. If they aren't in the top six by October he'll still get peddled.

To me it largely depends on what sort of team we assemble and how he does. If we push the boat out and he doesn't make a good fist of it he'll probably be sacked before the seasons out.

If we only spend about £50M we might give him more leeway.
 
I doubt he lasts the season if you're in the relegation zone a few months in and struggling for wins. No matter what the expectations or circumstances, teams just seem to twist in those situations.

Not sure how it fits with the philosophy of the club but if they see Cooper unemployed whilst you're 20th and 6 points off safety in November then I wouldn't be surprised if he was replaced. That's football.
