Stanton isn't the problem.
The prolem is a lack of resources, mostly financial.
If Stanton is to be replaced it should only be by someone with a high profile that could lure quality players the club for non-pecuniary reasons.
No chance of that happening.
Give Stanton a better budget for player recruitment and resources to work with and I think he can get us into the top 6.
Changing coaches every 5 mins isn't the answer at this stage as we are at least winning games.
Any mug can coach with a big budget, we need someone who can coach on a small budget and get big results
I have mapped the trending of Stanton's rolling 10-game average points haul, and it's clear he's getting more from the squad now than he was at the beginning of the run.
Seems to be potentially letting him go too early based on results.

Transfer window additions improved the quality and depth of the squad, as well as the return to fitness of Rose.
Subjectively I also thought we were a bit unlucky in some games in the first half of the season, and have had luck go our way at time so far in the second half.
It's no surprise that results have improved since Kota arrived and Rosey is fit again. The rest are so inconsistent, it doesn't take much for the wheels to fall off, like a bit tired last week
The issue for Stanton doesn't even seem to be getting a bigger budget for better players. From what we've been told, he wants a second assistant and another physio in, these are small asks in the grand scheme of things, and in the case of the physio something that hugely benefits the players.
Take this team, release Ingham and Wellisol and use that money to sign some key players as I imagine they're big money earners, and this is a team that could easily make the top 6 with Stanton still at the helm
You would have to assume that's not the real issue. He obviously wants the club to start moving forwards and be competitive off the field so it can improve on the field and the owners don't want to invest any more money for that sort of stuff.
We got told at the start they didn't care about competing, they just wanted to make us financially stable. So I think we are going to spend the next 5 years seeing anyone mediocre or above at their jobs leave and cheap replacements brought in.
I won't be surprised if Kota moves to another club next season either, whether by sale from us or us not being able to afford his wages.
