Fabio Celestini is the latest fall guy for deep-rooted issues at Turf Moor

Ultimately in football, the buck always stops with the manager, so when things aren’t quite going your way, it’s always the boss who faces calls to leave.
That’s the position Celestini finds himself in even at this early stage, as Saturday’s capitulation from 4-1 up to lose 5-4 away to Cardiff left him on the back foot going into the international break.
Of course, there’s the argument of time, and Celestini has currently only had around two weeks, so he’s still in the infancy of his reign, so a few solid training sessions could feasibly do us the world of good.
But does anyone truly believe it will make a difference? It didn’t work under Hayen, who’d had much longer with the team, so why should we believe it’ll work now.
