None of the others we are being linked with and who you would class as being realistic have good goal scoring records either, that’s just the reality of the situation we are in and the players we can currently attract.
On the point about sacking, we really have no idea what type of owners we have with regards to that, for example say we spend 100 million or more this month, can you really see them accepting relegation?
Not to have a go at Howe ( he was never my pick but I’m fully behind him), but it was almost impossible not to improve us tactically after the last couple of seasons with Bruce.
