As much as I believe we should’ve had a better manager, I’m against the sacking culture of managers. The more time managers get the better the long term success usually is, providing the money and infrastructure is there
Just look at man utd and ferguson he was 1 game away from the sack and the rest is history as they say
I don't want to be too harsh, but I've heard this comparison before and it is ridiculous. Look at Alex Ferguson's pedigree and achievements before arriving in Manchester and you see the case for patience. Scott doesn't have any of this behind him at all.
Re next season, was it a two or three year deal the club gave Scott? I remember thinking that it pretty much matched the time we would have parachute payments, so he had the best possible situation but a thin leash if he failed.
Jim, three sided ground? Come on. Some of the other points you made there are valid as to his difficulties he's faced, but that one made me giggle. The point you make about 'still' being level on points with Leeds depends on your expectations from the start. For many, that is still failure.
Agree with Twig re thoughtfulness - he isn't thick. You can see ideas he has had, but often they don't always work and he seems slow in moving away from them. Case in point was last night - how many times did Hector try to drop the ball behind their left back for Kamara? Seven, maybe eight times? I don't think it came off more than once. Yet we continued with it into the second half still. So he's obviously studious and is finding things that he thinks will work and having the team implement them, but it doesn't seem that those ideas are always cutting the mustard as it were.
I'm stuck between not liking him (never did think it would work) and feeling like we aren't being successful, but also recognising that more change may not be good for the club and that Parker is a first time manager and may need a learning curve himself. I'm not sure Fulham needing promotion was a right time and right place appointment from the get go.
