This is likely to get some strong opinions, so I am putting this across in a friendly way but...
So far Cortes has done a pretty good job, he has invested well and in the correct areas and although he has made decisions that have been unpopular in his reign he has a good record of getting the decisions correct.
Everyone knows that earlier in the Season I felt Adkins was out of his depth, and even recently I have been frustrated in some games at poor performances/throwing away games (Sunderland and Stoke). Adkins was not THAT good a manager (although he seemed a good man) and we were only 3 points outside the relegation area after spending £30m in the summer.
Perhaps we should trust in the decision that Cortese has made, does he not deserve that? Yes, it seems harsh and ill timed but perhaps his stewardship of the club so far means that we should trust in his decisions and judge at the end of the season.
