It has come to my attention that before the season started I said I'd stick with Roy for at least 3 seasons...........I hold my hands up to that,But that was before a ball was kicked and I think it was pretty fair and reasonable to give a new manager some time as we all do,sadly what has transpired has been a disaster,which in all fairness couldn't be predicted in it's fullness,I have no reason for not giving our next new manager 3 seasons or the next or the next unless they show a total lack of strategy and incompetence.....3 seasons was fair,I mean it's the usual yard stick from which to access how far the club has come.....So in reality I wasn't wrong and here's a new prediction I give the new manager at least 3 seasons.....full marks for your homework,I'd completely forgotten about that comment.
Red Horizon, you have no need to apologise mate. When Roy was appointed you tried to take a positive outlook on his appointment. I too had serious reservations about him but i chose to back him, he said the right things during his introductory period, there was no reason to doubt him.
As the weeks wore on it became blatantly obvious that he was full of sh*t. He was found out pretty quickly, though that doesn't mean we were wrong to back him initially. Some people choose to believe, others do not.
There are so many people who preach their "I told you so" crap, just ignore them. Regardless of whether you felt he was the right man or not, you channelled your energy in a positive way and that can only be good. I fell for his introductory bollocks, the same way as many other passionate fans, regardless of any reservations about his lack of stature.
For that you have no need to absolve yourself, wanting the best for the Club is most certainly not a crime. Nothing in life is set in stone, there is no set outline or story.
