Tbf the people slagging him off are the same people who slag every other manager off

He is obviously going to be judged differently performance-wise at this stage than managers who had at their disposal the bigger, higher quality and more experienced squads that parachute payments enable.

Of course he isn't getting everything right, no manager ever does, and he gets criticised by the vast majority of people for those. But that in no way suggests he is rubbish or "clearly" the wrong appointment as some people seem to delight in saying.

And you seem (literally) desperate to criticise the direction the club is taking so it would be helpful if just once you were to suggest a better practical one the club could be taking?
