When are people going to give the manager some time and an opportunity to start trying to turn around what can only be described as a collection of utter shite.
He has inherited a squad devoid of balance, talent and hunger. But it is the 6th January and he has told 6 of the wasters to feck off, he has signed 3 new players and one or even two more likely to sign within the next 24 / 48 hours.
The truth is the blame lies with Mandaric and Allen for squandering a considerable amount of money on such a collection of complete shite and failing to plug the glaringly obvious gaps in the squad.
Ollie like Megson is well capable of turning this around but has to be given the time and opportunity to freshen up and rebuild the squad. Megson was forced to play ultra defensively to try and get results and was roundly criticsed, Ollie is having to play players out of position because of the lack of balnce in the squad and because reults and performances aren't what the fans expect then he is in the firing line.
What it should prove to the fans is that even two managers with good records at this level are struggling to make an immediate impact then it should highlight just what a shambles this club is in.
I agree with all that. Managers arrive here full of optimism and then they discover that the playing staff is much worse than they had thought. I guess they had been told by Madaric that they are the man and it just needs sorting.
Holloway has to be given time now to see if he can steer us from being relegated. However, in his occupation no one has an infinite amount of time if the results are poor and just because his position is next to impossible, doesn't prove he is going to be a decent manager for us.
