I tell you this much Igor, and I'm no uber fan, if they'd have given the job to Pelligrini or someone like that I'd have given him a go. I was dead against going with another manager from La Liga, I made it absolutely clear at the time, but if they'd have given him the job I would have said lets give the fella a couple of seasons at least before you jump all over him.
Some of the people on here are so terrified that a new manager is going to come in and make a success of things (and then by definition make their stance on Benitez look ever more silly) that they can't even dare to give the new man a chance. They have this strange notion that if the new man comes in and also fails, it proves the impossibility of the job and so therefore vindicates their argument. I know yourself and benny will deny this to be the case, but I am absolutely convinced it is true.
Like I say though, I would give any manager a good go. If they sack Roy tomorrow and give the job to Glenn Roeder, you've got to give the guy a good crack at it before you can decide he is sh!t. Half of you lot decided it before Roy even took over, and despite the FACT that our results have been decent since he started, you want to use the fact that we aren't playing flowing football yet as a stick to beat him with.
It's all good, but it is still a bit embarrassing to tell the truth.
You can be the manager for all I care - it's the results and performances that the manager produces and IMO at the moment the performances are bloody awful and I want them to improve - all that matters is that we are successful - who is manager doing it makes no difference at all as long as they do it .
