Anyway leaving aside the arguments for a moment and taking the thread back to what it was originally intended to be, at least we are starting to get a couple of encouraging results. 12th is nothing to write home about, but it's a fecking site better than 19 or whatever the feck we were.
Many of us have said for a while that Roy deserves a fair crack of the whip, but I have to say he still has a fair way to go in order to prove his appointment was a good idea. I was convinced last season that the team was better than 7th (I actually thought we were good enough to get into the top four) and I am convinced that this season we are good enough to CHALLENGE for it. If we don't do that, and can't even improve on 7th, then regardless of whether or not there's anything in my "new manager to unite the fans" theory, it's impossible to pretend Roy has been a success.
My guess is that fairly soon we are going to be kicking around the mid to lower reaches of the top ten, and I suppose it's from there where we'll see exactly what Roy is made of.
