I totally agree.Any sensible person should agree that he needs time, but he isn't going to be able to meet expectations here in the long run with a no net spend transfer policy. The only way he can bring quality players in going forward, if our austerity holds, would be to sell players like Eriksen, Vertonghen, and Lloris, and that really would be a lateral move when it comes to building a quality squad in all in likelihood.
There are limitations in the squad at-large that his coaching system cannot come close to overcoming. Even if we failed to qualify to the knockout stages of Europa, I wouldn't necessarily blame him given the complete lack of depth when it comes to our attacking options.
