We currently sit in 10th position in the premier league title race and our current manager has the exact same points return as Roy Hodgson when he was abruptly removed from his post.
Yet apparently BR is the new messiah and we just need to give him time and he will return us to the glory of a Top 4 finish.
It is worth noting that AVB, Chris Houghton, Michael Laudrup and Steve Clarke have not needed the same time to implement their blueprints at each of their respective clubs.
Another interesting point is that we shipped out a striker that cost £35million without giving him so much as a sniff of a chance to prove himself and paid £10million to replace him with another striker (allegedly) that couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.
We are told to have patience, keep the faith, that there are no quick fixes and that we are WUM's or fickle if we dare to doubt our current manager.
Well it's a load of cobblers, football is a results based business and our results have been dire.
In the current climate we are one of the top 6 clubs in the country yet we are now expected to accept 10th place, shut up and be happy.
The Liverpool job would have been (and still would be) a magnificent challenge for the right candidate. The perfect opportunity to make a real mark as a manager, an opportunity that most people only get once in a mangerial lifetime. Unfortunately our present incumbent is out of his depth. 10th would have been fine at little Swansea, yet remarkably he has managed to persuade many on here that it is fine for us also.
We have undoubtedly gone backwards ( I dont care if the tealady thinks BR is a nice man -the league table doesnt lie)and now we just accept it.
10th place people, that's where we are and the saddest part of the whole thing is that aparently it's OK.
As I said in the title of this thread our current leaders (owners and manager) greatest achievement has been to manage our expectations.
