I think the only reason to replace Italiano is because a decent new coach would tell Welnix what is needed and not accept the role otherwise.
Italiano is a young coach who can't afford to rock the boat too much. Dome and Gill, my impression, are willing to buy Welnix's academy development strategy and foist unready kids on the coach.
That combined with Ishige, Payne, Retre, Mileusnic and Oluwayemi injured has the coach trying to patch holes with the limited squad the club has allowed him.
I'm not saying Chief is faultless here. But if people want this club fixed it is a lot more than changing the coach that's needed, I think.

Totally agree, and I said something vaguely similar in the match thread.
Is it cheaper to get a new coach or a few class players? If a new coach is cheaper then be careful what you wish for. But if the club finds money for a January splurge on even one more seasoned player - even on a loan deal - this might help.
Nagasawa, Eze, Piper, Najjarine and Armiento are all OK but they do not represent the kind of goalscoring threat that wins games regularly.
