And that’s because we made the wrong appointments in the first place. Every manager we’ve had since Moyes, there were serious doubts before he was appointed, as to whether he was up to the job.What on earth do we achieve as a club working towards any sort of medium- or long-term ambitions if we just sack any manager who is mid table after half a season? If you repeatedly do that then you end up cycling through a long list of managers who are either:
a) available because they have been sacked from another club; or
b) tempted away from another club at the expense of a substantial compensation package
and then only keeping them for more than six months IF they have more luck than the last guy (because they'll be using most, if not all, of the same squad to play against the same opponents).
I think you have to give ANY manager at least two full seasons (barring obvious fretful into relegation trouble).... and I have lived through the Martinez tripe and the ordeal that was Mike Walker.
Martinez - just got a club relegated, despite winning a trophy.
Koeman - only ever saw us as a stepping stone no affinity to the club or its fans.
Allardayce - board panicked with his appointment. Outdated style of football that is suited to the dark ages.
Silva- good record abroad, but dismal records at hull and Watford in the Prrmier League, yet the board saw something in him.
Until we get the right appointment, nothing will change.
