My general (although scientifically-inexact) rule of thumb to supporting a manager is that in his first year, he gets my full unequivocal trust (unless he goes totally insane and sells the entire squad and replaces them with a collection of small woodland mammals). The second season is when I expect to see consistent signs of improvement, and the third season is when I expect the club to be at its strongest.
not even gonna read that wayyyyyy tooo long
Don't worry sunshine, it's not aimed at people like you.Go find a nice comic with lots of pictures
maybe meant he wanted your post to have more one syllable words, Paul...
Next one will, I think. But hard to write like that and keep it so it makes sense. Not my style, I guess. Still, won't hurt to give it a go. Short words for small minds
hey, moderator, leave those kids alone...
what a load of crumbums some people are, probably one of the best posts of the year, a post that sums up everything bout the way were all feeling, deep down and some people still find time to find fault...how do you put up with it paul?
I can't be responsible for people having A.D.D.!
lovely read PaulMy only gripe is that Rafa set himself up to be shot down this week with his comments post Burnley.Saying that 4th place was more important ( and it is for him, to have the money to fund his team next year), but only to lose in that fashion reflected badly on a couple of choices for me. Namely Warnock and Riise that way round. Having Didi/Sami/Pelle, all slow men defending the box when we've been caught on the break by them last season....Otherwise once again I agree with your excellent thread - but like you I am a long termer...
Craig Burnley V West Ham - WEST HAM WIN - INCORRECT
And he failed to deliver 4th place that year
I think thats a pretty reasonable timeline in this day and age. i suppose my only addition is that you would also have to allow for a 'dip' season around year six. but apart from that its trophies trophies trophies.....
