But are you going to be as impatient with our new man as you were with Hughes.
Will you be on Mancini's back as quickly or as vehemently?
Or will you give him the patience that you never gave to Hughes?
Your recent post on Benitez being given time to put things right at L'Pool directly contradicted your attitude to our own manager.
I wonder why you consider we should be in unison because it suits your view when you refused to act in unison for Hughes.
We are in unison behind Roberto because he hasn't even started yet. I backed Hughes at the beginning but his weaknesses where glaring and I wanted him out as soon as I realised this. It was about 4/5 months in.
People keep going on about stability just because of previous history and that has saved Hughes for this long. I am all for stability and long term but I want the right guy first, you could put an ostrich as manager and have as much stability and long term as you like, doesn't mean it's gonna work.
I never said give Benitez more time. I said Liverpool will be challenging for the top 4 and that it's a long season.
