i agree, i think the fans have been very patient, and i also think thats because he came from Bham City so we gave him an extra chance to improve.
I think it's actually because fans burnt out on protesting in the summer before the season started. If owners don't listen before they hire him, they're hardly going to turn around and sack him if you protest again a few months later..
Once it had been McUnLeished on us, we were pretty powerless.
Had to wait until it got really bad before the fanbase was energized enough to really try again..lots of draws and drab football just sapped the spirit from everyone.
