If last season didn't happen, would the anti-BR fans still want him out? When he took over we had just finished 8th, so is 5th (possibly 4th?) this season really that bad? It's progress....
The reason I want to leave last season out of the equation is because we over performed due to a low workload, therefore raising fans expectations for this year. If FSG wanted steady progress when looking at a level playing field, he has delivered, has he not? He improved on Dalglish by finishing 7th and now he has us in 5th place banging on the door of the top 4. Considering we've not won the league for more than 25 years, people's expectations are not very realistic at the moment.
