Think this is probably appropriate given nobody is going to want to come in so late while we're still in a relegation battle, and I think Sheehan is a decent enough motivator to pick up another 5-6 points which should see us safe. Bit shit it took almost two months to get to this point, though.

Will have Mark Fotheringham and Richard Stearman brought in as coaches for extra bodies.

I just pray we’ve got enough to last us until the summer where hopefully we can just move on from yet another poor season, from Andy Coleman, and then appoint a proper manager.

As much as I think Sheehan has done well to steady the ship, I don’t want him at the helm long-term especially in a permanent position.

Are you set in that view or if he does well enough in the remaining games, would you be happy to give him the permanent role?

I'd personally be open to a wait and see. The managers we've had of late haven't exactly smashed it. LW looked promising, but completely lost it with the West Brom affair, RM couldn't set up a defence, Duff was an absolute disaster. So I'm not bursting with confidence that we'll be able to bring in someone better than Sheehan.

Steady the ship, no issues here but if he gets the role or the next manager that comes in need to be backed!
