It's really hard to blame him with the injuries and all. At one time it was reported that 14 of our first team were out due to injury or illness. Then again we weren't that good when we were healthy. Right now, I would just ride it out until at least January. If we ride it out our form could turn and we could be headed toward a respectable finish in the EPL and maybe the FA Cup. If we fire Rafa before January, the owners are basically giving up on the season and that's not a good message to send to your players and fans. Even if we do go elsewhere for management in the summer I would rather us take time to find a better replacement (whats the point in sacking Rafa only to get someone worse) than promote Sammy Lee.
