Even if we stay up , there’s no way Artell should be here after May 1st . ST sales will take a nosedive as he’s lost the vast majority of people in BP , maybe the only exception JS . Get rid and I think that single move would give everybody hope again for next season.

It depends what happens between now and the end of the season. We could win every game and they will sell like hotcakes in the summer. He might be sacked at 5pm. Between those extremes like a continuum of possibilities. If we do suddenly start to win more plenty of people will flip back to supporting the manager.

I’m not so sure .

The only thing that could possibly save him is an improbable winning run from now until the end of the season. I don’t think anyone has warmed to him at all (not necessarily a bad thing given the job-life expectancy of a manager these days). A lot of fans I’ve spoken to are starting to get very disengaged with the club at the minute and it’d be a ST renewal sales disaster if he stayed on as it stands.

I don’t envy the owners. If we stay up, do they keep him, even though fans don’t like him or if we don’t, how much will we lose in revenue?

This is true, I suspect that a lot of the fan base myself included would support Mickey Mouse as the manager if we won a few games. That said, as you point out, I think it will be very hard for David Artell to survive a loss on Saturday.I would roll the dice if we lost on Saturday, we are well past hardluck stories

If things turn around and we're playing some good stuff and getting some decent results by the end of the season, he'll surely stay? I can't believe that anybody wouldn't back the incumbent manager at the start of the next season if we end the season on the up. Jolley had the backing of the fans following the big escape that particular season in spite of the fact that there had been such dross before that late (and slightly flukey) run of victories. Actually, possibly not a good example, that, given what we saw at the start of the following season!
If we sneak away from relegation and avoid it as much by luck as judgement then he can go. If he actually gets us playing reasonably to win some results, I think he'll definitely be staying.
We just need to stay up by hook or by crook to hopefully rebuild a much better squad for next season, whoever ends up being in charge. Can't believe how much Hurst crapped the bed with his summer transfer window.
