Now what?
If it is Jensen out, what do we do? More importantly, who in this squad actually cares enough for a new manager to change anything? We can’t even build a full XI with the players who give a shit. I worry about the direction of the club.

Jansen is the issue not the players.
I keep seeing replies and things to "tear it down" and rebuild. When it all honesty our poor form is not down to a lack of effort. It's down to poor coaching.
Everything went to shit when Maxi got hurt and we started to play Nico in the midfield. On paper not a bad idea. In practice, it moves our best goal scorer, dribbler, playmaker Further away from goal where he has less impact on and off the ball.
It's his tactics that have Gray and Cavallo/O'Toole playing further back.
Jansen is the one who instructs Ojeda, Wolf and Traore to only play high and wide. Leaving them isolated with no semblance of build up.
Jansen is the one who keeps playing Perea every damn game who has heart, but gives absolutely nothing of value in possession when we struggle to play through the middle of the park and advance the ball
Jansen is the one who instructs players to find the long ball time and time and time and time again.
Jansen is the one who refuses to play Shore, who while not on Keaton's level, is good with a #6 next to him, can advance the ball on and off the dribble. Is willing to take players on or try the difficult pass.
I can't fault Jansen for the injury bug we've had. Alonso, Perea, Malachi, Parks, Trewin, O'Neil, Talles, etc have all spent WEEKS on the injury list.
Nor can I fault him for some of the crazy bonehead plays like Sands' back pass or Freese mistake last week.
But you know what I can blame him for. Us only having 42 goals. THATS ONLY 7 MORE THAN SKC and Montreal.
It's time for a new voice in the locker room. New manager may be enough to at least try for a playoff push.
