I agree they didn't give him long enough. Should have given him this season and next season and then we could have been playing them in a local derby. Work that one out.
Seriously though, managers nowadays know they are in a risky position when they go into management. Interesting how he and Little were always blaming the lack of ability/effort by the players for the poor results. I always think that players will play for the manager or not depending on their view of him, look how G,borough changed when Little went.
