If MR does go the only possible silver lining I can take.
Is the new manager may allow everyone to have a clean slate.
Cody may return
We may play Leon and Cody up front.
We may get to actually see Malaga play and make and informed decision about the promise he showed in the 2 matches he was allowed to play.
The likes of Barton may feature more.
He gives the likes of Willis a chance
Or
The new manager doesn't rate the current lot and wants he own players and we get another period if transition
