I have not read all the posts on this subject, and I am not a regular user/viewer of this site.
JA was sacked for his poor results, he did himself no favours by sticking to the same players who continually let him down. I was very optimistic that he may come good but that was not the case. It also true in these cases that when a club is being sold or in the process the future owners of the club want to be able to install there own manager. The dirty work is done by the current owners a neutral manager is installed. I would be very surprised if a new manager is not installed at the beginning of next season, unless of course he managers a miracle and we play finals.
