I don't see how you can interpret what I said as 'been of the worst run clubs'??I normally love all your posts but christ on a bike anyone would think we've been one of the worst run clubs in the league from this.
He's had a long term strategy to get us up and stay with the big boys. There have been some bumps in the road but the foundations and intent have been solid.
Mistakes will be made again but he makes more good decisions than bad but most have been vindicated with opportunity of hindsight.
Allowing Poch to move from a DoF model and getting in Mourinho and Conte to probably appease the fan base and Kane have been his biggest faux pas but they haven't been catastrophic (see Man Utd)
I haven't scathingly attacked him, I am just being cautious.
He has done incredibly well getting the club into becoming one of the top club's in the country and the stadium/facilities/investments etc speak for themselves.
But I wasn't criticising him for that.
It is true that he has held the club back at times, and, I am sure @Trix can attetst to this, but he has often listened to those alongside him and gone against the sporting people (sign players like Spence, cause he is English and much cheaper, etc)
We are only 6 months into this new regime.
I think a little caution is only fair.
