He likes 4-2-3-1 with two defensive DMs, inverted Wingers, and two quick ovelapping fullbacks, hmmmm, wonder who his first two signings would be

Well yeah. The common denominator during this time is one Steve Parish. I after 11 seasons of treading water it's reasonable to assume that this is about it, and the next manager will be precisely in the same situation.

Yes, Steve Parish at the helm during our 11 seasons in the PL.
A gentleman of erudition and wisdom.

None of us are really in the know.
Perhaps the ongoing speculation is nothing to do with results, but is instead connected with Roy’s health scare when he was taken ill to hospital and missed the Villa game.
I’m speculating now, but it’s possible that he has a gentleman’s agreement with the club that he will step down if and when a suitable replacement is identified.
This would enable a dignified step down and retirement for Roy.
I don’t believe the club will sack Roy unless we drop into the bottom 3, but on the other hand there has been so much speculation from different sources I’m inclined to believe that there’s no smoke without fire in terms of the club being linked with other managers.

Unless Celtic sack him I don't see why he would come to us it's a step down.

One more point

Err - that’s the one I was quoting from….in between adverts for buying into gold bullion and all the usual stuff
