To be fair, the owners have been voicing their concern lately, which can only be a good thing, they are not idiots and they can make decisions for themselves.
We without a permanent chief executive, i really don't see a decision being made till one is brought in. I think NESV feel they don't know enough atm. I'd rather they made a decision in the summer, and it be best for the long term and in the interest of the club, than them sack Roy and bring someone as bad in. I'd rather give Roy till the end of the season with the hope he isn't here for the start of next...
