Because a knee jerk reaction to a poor start is not what is needed given the whole situation.
Now I'm certainly not saying that Coleman will turn out to be the best man for the job, but as I've said previously, he took over in the most difficult circumstances possible and while people say he inherited a team of top form playing well. But that is only a part of the picture as the reality is he took over a group of young men traumatised from losing their mentor in such unexpected and tragic circumstances.
Just look at how the Speed situation has affected Craig Bellamy who made himself unavailable for these two crucial world cup games.
I honestly think that there was no one who would have been able to lift the players over the period of time that has passed.
Therefore, in my opinion, this campaign was always going to be a right off due to these circumstances and Coleman should be given the full campaign to try and lift the squad and turn it around. To sack him after a poor start while the squad is clearly still suffering the massive hangover from the loss of Speed would be wrong as I believe what is needed now is some continuity and stability.
I know this won't be a popular view on here though.
