That's very lame Pops.

It's by no means clear that the team is slowly getting better. The keeper situation is uncertain; the defence is leaking goals; the midfield isn't settled and neither is the front line.

In the last window he bought a kid who we can't expect much from in the short term, and a striker that we'd been linked with for 2 seasons or so.

Whether time is all he needs is by no means certain though I think that we've made our bed now and will have to lie on i for at least another season. I agree with Carheex though that we should not be a club where managers come to learn their trade at our expense.

i can see plenty of managers coming and going over the coming years myself. I look at the past at clubs with expectation levels beyond there means and they always had a management revolving door, united in the 70s and 80s, city under Peter Swales, Spurs under Irvine Scholar and the best of all deadly doug at Villa, even Everton under Philip Cater went through loads...

We'll keep going through managers until we get owners who know what a good manager is, or they stumble across one accidentally. We're bound to under achieve and suffer disappointment when the likes of BR is preferred to rafa benitez, louis van gaal or avb.
Why exactly did FSG think that a man who has never won a cup or a league and has only ever managed small clubs, would be our best option??? Lunacy.

united's expectations were never beyond their means... they've were the richest club in the country even in those days I believe. As for the other clubs, the revolving door policy is regarded as a reason for never finding the lasting success they craved. Fergie 6 years to win a title; Moyes 10 years and Everton are at their peak; Contrast that to Chelsea, Man City - the best money and managers and no sense of stability, ongoing success.

I think we need to find someone we can stick with for a long time. It could be BR, but that doesn't mean I'll buy all his BS along the way.

I happen to believe in chopping and changing managers, its the modern way, if you bring in a manager and he is not up to the task ship him in and then ship him out as soon as possible wether it's 6 months, a year or 10 years. The keeping hold of managers like Sir Alex, Wenger and David Moyes no longer works in todays game, do fans honestly think Sir Alex if United brought him in today would be given 6 years to get it right at United now, not in a hundred million years. I personaly dont think Rodgers is the right man, I am not saying he has'nt done some good things since he has been here but for me he has'nt improved us enough, he could of spent his transfer money better, handled certain situations better, his media skills are patronising and his policy on Cups is a disgrace, the man simply has'nt helped himself this season...
