Knives have always been out. From the perception of the masses (mob?) he is a dour, no name, hands in pockets terrorist supporter who plays wingers as strikers, strikers as defensive midfielders, defensive midfielders as wingers, leaves the player of the year on the bench and has no plan B.
Personally, I will give him time (altho whilst typing that I started to wonder at my sanity) because I think the squad is decent and they need the fans behind them.
I would, however, like to hear why he 'deserves' this time I am willing to give him.
