“My dream is to have a manager for ten years. If we could do that it would be wonderful.

If I had my way now I’d give him all the time he needs. I would. But you see in football, now . . . we’re fourth, and they (fans) want us out. And him out. We’re fourth. It’s amazing.”

1. "If I had my way now, I'd give him all the time he needs. I would".

2. This interview was a week after we'd lost 5-0 at Brighton, after which most just-relegated clubs would've got rid. A sensible owner and board wouldn't have taken solace in being 4th in the first place; a sensible owner and board would've noted how poor we'd been for most of the season already. A sensible owner and board would never, ever have made comments of this kind.
