“It was like a boxer getting punched and knocked down in the third round and he never recovered and was knocked out, knocked out in every round on his way to the 12th round.

“You look at who’s available and then you try to think about timing. You half-hope that the manager can turn things around, but 99 times out of 100, the situation goes against you and continues to go against you.

“They’ve probably picked a point that was decided a few weeks ago – that the next bad defeat or bad result we’re probably going to have to act on. It happened yesterday (against West Ham)

“They would certainly start the process of finding a successor to Erik ten Heg because that Tottenham game a few weeks ago really looked like the end.”
