when people call other fans fickle, i dont really understand it. My own viewpoint is that when o'neill was appointed, i believed we had the best possible candidate for the job, then when lerner arrived as well, my optimism increased even further. Now for the last 2 seasons, o'neill has fulfilled every realistic ambitious i had for us, and nearly managed to do the unthinkable and gatecrash the top 4. However for the first time i now have serious reservations, about his ability to take us forward, is that fickle though? just because he has dome well in the last two years, should he have a job for life, or can fans change their mind, and expect a certain standard to be maintained, which in all honestly doesnt look likely this season, and thats not just on the basis of one game. If o'neill left us, and went to bolton etc, i firmly believe in his first full season, he would probably get them back into the top half, and maybe even a outside european challenge, eg getting the best out the players there, but that next level will always defeat him.
