Well no, that's where context comes into it isn't it? This is a big job with big expectations and anyone who gets off to a slow start will come under pressure, as they would at other clubs with big fanbases and high standards. Bournemouth at the point he took over was obviously a different thing entirely, they'd only been promoted a year earlier and had spent most of that season in the relegation zone, with regular runs of consecutive losses throughout the year and a 9 (NINE)-0 defeat thrown in, so such a run wasn't hugely out of the ordinary. I'm not sure 'ideally whoever takes over won't lose home games 4-0' is something we need to debate really.
I get the concern here, by why are we assuming Ireaola would make a bad start?
Even Dyche won his first game.
Look at the mistakes in recruitment under
Moyes last summer... Why not give a Glasner, Ireaola a run?
They're doing the job NOW that
Moyes was lauded
for doing here 20 years ago that he's failed to replicate anywhere since, including us, now.
I get the loyalty to Moyes,a big part of me wants to see him rectify last summer's mess and/or those signings come good next season.
But I have lost trust that they or he will.
