I don't think you'd have to be "daft" to be a fan of Brendan. It will always remain for me an incredible achievement to get us from being perpetually 7th in the league to almost winning the title. To do that whilst playing some of the most attacking and exciting football in Europe will live long in the memory, and for that in my eyes at least, Brendan deserves respect in a way which is completely different to a Hodgson.
Sometimes though a manager loses the players or at least stops getting his message across, sometimes with that he loses his way. We've had successful managers before who'd done that IMHO, and we've got it again. It happens to the best of managers, and while Brendan might not yet be one of those he is a pretty decent one IMHO.
When it happens though you have to move on, both from the club and the managers point of view. We're at that time again I'm afraid.
