I think it's a little unfair to say he hasn't been in the position before. He took Reggiana up into serie A in his first season of management. The last 3 games have been massively frustrating, but this is the 3rd manager these players have downed tools for (not all). It is not just down to CA. We have overshadowed it with Silva, Allardyce, Koeman because we thought they were crap. This man is proven, and previous players of his all say his man-management is one of his best skills and yet these players aren't arsed. I imagine as some have put, it is down to them knowing they're gone and being in holiday mode.
CA will need time. We have a poor squad, he can only do so much, just like any other manager. The difference is CA has proven record of knowing what quality looks like and has the pull and respect to do well. He has already shown he is tactically flexible and until teh Wolves game we had looked defensively pretty good, barring maybe Saints, in which with a bit of poor luck could have been worse.
It always takes time. The days of buying a squad and winning the league straight away are gone. Look at Chelsea, they did that but now they cant do it anymore. City took AGES to get it right.
We are all frustrated, but if there is ever a man to trust to sort this squad out, it is Carlo. We will not be able to make as big, and important appointment as this again. This season is always going to be a write off for CA, he's been positive and said the players must target Europe but ultimately that may have always been a step too far, but at least we're targeting something. The positive is that he has 6 months to see who is capable of what, and hopefully the club back him and we make changes in summer.
