If he can't see his preferred system isn't working

And he won't change it, he simply has to go.

It's obvious at this point that the 4-2-3-1 is not working without Barnes and Sargent. It has to change. But Wagner stubbornly jeeps fielding players in the No. 10 position who can't play there. He keeps playing bang average wide men. He has full backs bombing forward and no DM exposing our lumbering CBs, who'd look good in a standard 4-4-2. Playing out from the back is suicidal with this team. So much needs to change.
