Well we're not going to get a points deduction before the end of January even if we're charged because the hearing won't take place until March. And we may not even get charged.
Re: transfers, it seems like we're very close to Coulibaly from Parma and I expect there will be a couple more.
I agree that it's vital we pick up points from Palace and Fulham, but I don't think the club would sack RVN even if we lost both. As for RVN himself, he seems very relaxed and happy in his press conferences. He doesn't sound like a man about to walk out.
So all in all, I'd say the chances of RVN NOT being our manager at the end of January hover around zero.
