nothing I can do but pray thay murdoch hands over the reigns to his incompetent son and soon. some of us could try educating people. but that's doomed to condescension and ultimately failure.

Instead of saying "AVB has spent ____ if we don't finish top 5 he should be sacked"
People should see it as
"We have given AVB ____ to spend building his team, is it really worth it (or sane) to now sack him?!"

No, the competition is fierce this year and as long as we stay competing at the right end of the table he should stay aslong as possible imho. At some point you have to make a stand and go with what you have, chopping and changing managers every other season is fuckn pointless and keeps you in a constant state of transition with new managers wanting different players. AVB is at the right age to lead us for many a season and is very professional, tactically astute and a good face/voice for the club. Bar a total meltdown the bloke should be given a decade to really stabilize the club and give us some real continuity like the scum, manure and Everton have enjoyed and prospered from. People calling for AVBs head already are fucking idiots with agendas beyond football.
AVB is far from the finished article and there are obviously better managers out there right now.
He has been a top flight football manager for about 5 years max and I do think this shows.
However the difference between the squad dynamic in Chelsea and Spurs shows that he is learning and can pick things up quickly. He has improved his man management skills and I'm sure the Levy will give him 3 or 4 seasons to prove that he can learn the tactical business too.

If we miss on the top 4, so be it. But we must be mixing it with the top teams. Which we are.
AVB should not go. Why let a manager spend 100mil building a squad to sack him? Stupid idea.
I would kill for a cup though. League cup will do.

oh and 
I want AVB to stay and learn the management game with us. I am a little bit concerned about his comments earlier this year stating that he would retire early so he can do the Paris Dhaka or something like that. Not sure how this will work out long term, but to me he seems like a passionate guy and not one to leave a job half done.
Devil's Advocart here, but just because you give someone a shed load of dosh to spend does not mean they are shit at their job. It could mean you are shit at your job.
To clarify. I love AVB. Well, as long as he manages us and manages us well.

Hmmmmm interesting insight into the psyche of the ever-deluded dust bin lids in their natural habitat! You sold a match-winner and padded out your squad with more tat! Refreshing to see that some of you seem to be coming to terms with the fact that the only difference this year is that this false dawn is a more expensive variety in relation to last years and the year before that and every other of this endless debacle. Truly a case of '61 never again! Forever In Our Shadow Be
No, aslong as it's 5th and not 10th I would want him to stay as he's probably still the best man for the job and he needs time to get the best out of the players he's purchased and given how Levy has backed him financially it would be silly to off him. Also as someone else pointed out who would we get as a replacement? who's attainable? sadly we're not on the world level to be wooing a guy like Klopp away from Dortmund and as much as I like Laudrup I think he's tad overrated and don't think he'd get us to a level AVB can't.
The only time I've been to Wembley was 24 Feb 2008. One of those memories that will help me go with a little bit more peace when it's time
How great would it be to see AVB lift up a trophy with the lads, any trophy, and especially if it was against the Chavs
