Looking at their fixtures for the rest of the month you could be right - Spurs, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Man Utd.
If they're in the bottom 3 - especially given how poor the 3 current teams occupying those spots are - by the turn of the year then he'll pull the trigger.
But then I think if Ten Hag gets absolutely humiliated at Anfield on Sunday will that be him one step closer?
