Top post Billy, and very hard to disagree, I honestly believe he had done remarkably well all things considered, he got fu**ed over last summer leaving us short up front + he had to adjust to new surroundings, integrate himself to the inner sanctions of a world famous institution, add to that introduce a new regime, philosophy and style of play,
Some posters are quick to point out his mistakes or what he says in interviews but to be fair he is the meat in the sandwich and will burden alot of pressure from supported to owners, occupational hazard some might say but he still had to handle it and some,
This is a pivotal season for the boss, one which will determine whether or not his plans are working, only time will tell of course, but even if we don't achieve what we set to I will still support him unless a major factor arises and changes things,
I am however concerned about the lack of back up from FSG, we are 9 days from kick off but yet we have yet to Complete our search for players, this far from acceptable IMO, all business should be done by now, additions should be training and adjusting to Brendan's style and building relationships with new teammates, not scraping around trying to get the right players in for the cheapest price possible,
Like another poster mentioned, FSG should put their dollars where their fat gobs are and back their manager fully, not f***in half arsed like it seems to be,
I think Brendan is doing fine and by the end of this coming campaign I think we will fair much better than last season, I just hope that we reach CL maybe then FSG will be proper owners and untie Brendan's hands from behind his back, no breath will be held tho, that would be suicide !
