I guess that's why we will disagree then, I really thought we were rudderless and with a crew that looked as if it were on the verge of mutiny.
Again, whilst you see it that way, my impression was more of someone out of his depth taking us nowhere fast.
What did you see that made you believe he was accomplishing things?
I didn't see much to suggest we were on the cusp of something great....but nor did I see anything to suggest we were going to massively under perform. So, on the premise that with so many new players a team could not be built overnight and (as many managers and pundits agreed upon) would take some time to develop in to the vision the manager had, and given that 'building something for the future' was Andre's remit, I think it was be thoroughly unfair to pass any judgments on the success of something that was not yet complete.
It would be like anyone walking in to my garage right now and critising my abilities to build a motorbike because currently the frame is without an engine and there is not a wheel in sight. Sure, I'm not winning street races right now, but it doesn't mean there won't be a superb example of a CBR600 sitting there come the summer next year.
