Just playing Devil's Advocate for a minute.
I'm assuming that Curles "Housekeeping" means we are working with a playing budget thats League 2 level? Then that means that this season is a free hit in terms of finances. If we go down, KT won't be too disappointed because we haven't gambled on staying up and then left with a League 1 playing budget in League 2 (similar to what happened when we got relegated last time) and if we stay up, even better?
Rotherham are the only team in the Championship who make a profit. Yes, they are always flirting with relegation and all their best players eventually get poached but they are a well run club that lives within their means.
I also am not enjoying watching the hoofball tactics and there are large parts of the team which don't seem to want it this season. But, i would rather have a club run on conservative finances rather than speculative finances.
I'm pretty sure KC will have until January at least. If we aren't cut adrift i think KC has earned the right to fight for the season. I agree he needs to try something different and needs to get back that fighting spirit we had in the playoffs. I remember posting on here last season at a similar time in the season to get Curle out and he managed to recover and i was too early to call for his head so this time i am just going to give him more time.
The other problem is who would replace him, lets be honest we are not going to attract the likes of Paul Cook and the Cowley Brothers. We would just get in another KC type of manager and it would only take a few dodgy results and performances for us to jump on their back.
As many have said, survival is the number one aim but to give him credit, KC's housekeeping has probably meant that it isn't essential.
That all sounds about right. I'm not sure about the budget though. KC and KT will both title it as a competitive budget. Just because they and every other manager does.
