My view is that Hyypia is out of his depth and needs to go. However, I don't necessarily believe TB is unaware of this and is being stubborn. He knows there will be a cost for getting rid of SH which he has to weigh up against the probably cost if we get relegated. What he says to the press and at Fans Forums might not completely convey what is going on behind the scenes. It wouldn't surprise me if they have sounded out a few agents about managers but is surely about timing. Do you get rid this week with a near impossible task next week away to Derby. New manager comes in and starts of with a loss (although others will point to Poyet's victory at Southampton) or wait till next week, get new man in for the Millwall game plus give him a couple of games to assess squad before the transfer window.
Time will tell.
