I don't have a problem with anyone critiquing the qualities of the manager but then do it for good and bad. Just not turning up during the transfer window or after a defeat to wallow when things haven't gone well.
We have so many more ups than downs these days, it is mostly one huge up. We are seeing our team play in a way and compete in a way that most of only dreamed about.
Yes we may have finished in the top 6 a lot during the past 12 years which is great but we have made great progress and you can't even compare a 6th place finish 30-40 points off the top with what we have achieved the last 2 seasons. We have actually competed until the end of the season!
And we will have losses, and we won't always beat teams that we either should or that we beat last season but that's life and football.
My opinion has been consistent whatever the result as it should be. And it is hardly a contentious view point to claim that our manager is not one of the games best or that he has weaknesses. No one is trying to claim he isn’t a good manager or that we haven’t progressed under him. My opinion is that he is being elevated above his level by many, that’s hardly something to become upset over.
