He’s won just 8 league games - let’s not get carried away.
He may be the guy we’ve been looking for ( I sincerely hope he is ) but I would take a lot of convincing that other clubs are planning to snatch him after so few wins.
Patience!
The whole point is that, even if we do, we should have the bottle to stick with a manager for some time, rather than changing tact every 6 months. And it's not really the results which I'm basing things on, it's him as a manager/person & his footballing philosophies.
He understands this league, he's done well with players he's mostly inherited & got the best from academy lads like Wozza + Cash + Yates, he's got naff all baggage, he's happy to work under a regime which loves to meddle & have it's input etc. etc.
The chaps a perfect fit for the club and things are finally going for us.
It's like waiting for Marthur to renew Morgan's contract. There's no point playing hardball when the chap you've got is doing the business so well. Patience for patience sake is pointless. I don't want to extend Mouch's contract coz I'm impatient, I want to do it because we won't land a better fit any time soon.
Sincerely hope you’re proved right Alf.
But the season is barely 3 months old.
I remain firmly in the:
Win a few games in December.
Successfully negotiate the January transfer window.
Sit down with Sabri.
In that order...
