One thing that can be learnt from Fergie was that he was ruthless when a player reached his sell by date or tried to undermine him. Start with shipping Terry out and if the rumours are true, Cesc.

Given his reported buyout clause, it is almost cheaper to sack the majority of the team and keep the manager. Plus, as mentioned, this is not as much his fault as others,given his success this calender year.
His fault may well be bringing in too many players that have an known expiry date, and some of those dates have come up sooner than anticipated this year, but he has the money and the swagger to attract players as soon as the Christmas transfer wire.
Don't think he's going anywhere; who's going to be better?
Plus, Abromovitch can offset some of his cash losses with the British press who I'm sure have taken up a collection to keep him in West London.
