Neville is such a clown. Basically he's saying he thinks its fine if we're shit for another 10 years because at some point we'll be good again
He's not.
He is saying - like all those with half a brain are saying - that we have to give a manager time to turn things around. Because that is the
only way back to the top.
See the upturn Liverpool have had?
Well, their manager finished 8th during his first season in the EPL. If he was our manager and he finished 8th, he'd have been sacked. No doubt about it. Moyes finished 6th, sacked. LvG finished fifth, sacked. Mourinho when he looked like finishing outside top 4 sacked. There is no chance in hell our impatient and silly fanbase or our silly CEO would have accepted Klopp finishing so low in the league. He'd have been out the door.
But did Liverpool sack him? No. They kept with him and then they slowly but surely improved every year as the manager slowly but surely put the squad together. I think they've a good shout at winning the title this year; because they have a manager in full control that has the full backing of the fanbase and full backing of the club. You can only get that by giving a manager the time it takes to achieve that level of respect around the whole club. Liverpool's recent success comes down to their owners and fans having patience with a manager.
Whereas our manager loses two games in a row, and fans are all up on RedCafe calling for him to be sacked. There is no patience at our football club. Hence my username. We need this more than we need anything.
Neville is saying we will only get back to the top once we give a manager years to take full control over a dressing-room, years to implement his way, years to clear the decks and have a dressing-room filled with players he wants at the club.
Like it or loathe it; it looks like we are finally taking this route. No more bringing in "top-class managers" who will try to buy "top-class players" for a quick fix. We are taking a young, promising manager who loves our club and allowing him to evolve the squads slowly but surely.. until a few years down the line he has a squad that he loves and totally controls - and that is when we will start to do what Liverpool did.. climb slowly and steadily up the table year on year.
Anyone thinking we are just gonna jump from 6th to first by buying the likes of bloody Paulo Dybala have obviously ben asleep for the past five years when our CEO thought signing Schwiensteiger or Di Maria or Falcao or Ibra would instantly get us back to the top.
That's not how this game works. And that is what Neville is saying.
We need to give a manager the years it takes to get us back up there eventually. We need to let a manager evolve a squad.
It'll take time. It'll take patience.
I roll my eyes at any fan who thinks this isn't the case.
Patience is key for our fanbase. Thank fully the match-day fan has it - our "social media fans" clearly don't - they are living on a different planet.
