So We're Stuck With Sheehan?

Whatever the cost is to get rid of him, if the decide to was set by the club when they gave him his contract.
They wouldn't have been stupid enough to price themselves out of getting rid of him.

Clubs these days more than likely bake in the cost of sacking managers and coaching staff in each seasons budget.

Sacking a manager is rarely a surprise cost anymore.

It's still a cost you'd rather not incur.

Depending on contract terms timing might be quite important. Certainly replacement cost is the main relevant cost, rather than any contractually committed cost that won’t be mitigated, irrespective of the timing. As Jolly La Rue would be only too keen to tell us, those are actually sunk. Maybe also the chances of the sacked crew getting a job quickly, as that should mitigate any payments. All in all, you want to give it as much time to work as you can and make replacement as late as you can.

Not all when you consider the reasons for sacking a manager.

I agree that when things get very bad there's a point at which you can't afford not to sack the manager.

We're not there yet.

Same here, he's got the ability to turn this around (I think)

Can you imagine if we'd stuck with Williams, last season.

Even when we lose, we still only lose by one goal most of the time (Leicester only exception). That's not even in the same postcode as MartinWillyball, where we'd get bummed by 3 or 4 goals regularly.

Mainly because we’re now hoofing it down the pitch into the channels instead of suicidal passing around the back, where 80% of goals we gave away.

We are now losing in a pragmatic way

People said we couldn’t afford to sack Williams

Exsactly same thing was reported around this time last year. I really don't see us saying, we won't sack him, if it gets to a point we are in bottom 3 and we need to save money. Maybe he gets longer, but no club will risk worse case relegation for a mere million.
