Frankly, I believe that he’s done as well as any manager could have done given the financial constraints upon him in the close season.
He has intelligently got a shedload of youngsters prepared and ready to pitch into the team if required as backup.
I don’t entirely agree with your assessment of last season but what I would like to see, or rather hear, is some more positivity from him off the pitch – rather than his endless downbeat interviews, telling us to adjust our expectations and so on. Give us something to get excited about!
That said, I do think he needs a good start, rightly or wrongly, especially if there is a change of ownership: with such a terrible record from last season, I’m not sure he can survive say 4 or 5 defeats from the first 7 or 8 games.
