Taking away the finacial aspect, given the relatively short time Gio has been manager, what the board do during the winter-break is crucial for our medium-term future.
No matter If they truly believe Gio is the man to take us forward, or they decide ti sack him, they need to significantly back whoever is in charge during the January transfer window.
Waiting until the end of the season to make the cull (on and off the pitch) will render next season pointless as well.
However, sticking or twisting now is a major gamble either way.
What we need is stability, not changing the manager every 12 - 18 months.
Huge decisions for the board, but are they capable of making them? For me, they'll sit tight and hope and pray Gio can turn it around with little or no funding.
