It`s not rocket science!
Rightly or wrongly some fans (probably the majority at the younger age range) believe that all our untold wealth should be enough to assure success right now and to carry on using this wealth to correct any problems in transfer windows rather than through coaching and expect the best players to come. Others (probably those 35+) are happy for any green shoots of improvement and steady progression, probably can't believe the high quality of talent in the squad and are more cautious that anything we achieve is sustainable and involves all levels of the club improving.
I see that the Bentknapp question has been raised - why are Spurs playing attacking entertaining football and getting wins and we are not. ie - not needing time to settle in!
The thing is Dodgyknapp is an impact manager - always has been - like Keegan but with a modicum of tactical awareness - eventually this cor blimey enthusiasm wears thin and he ends up feeling slighted in some way - ala Keegan. At present his knees up mother brown, up and at em style is working - but you just know it will falter and fade - as will Defoe who at the moment believes he is Van Basten due to Arry.
Hughes is a cautious man and yes a bit dour - but he is a thinker and his success tends to come after a couple of seasons - I agree that I`m concerned about the defence and would urge that he look at his coaching set up in that regard - but I do think we need to give him time. One thing is for sure - that when we do achieve success it won't be at the expense of any other aspects of the club as I know how hands on he is - he even sits in on interviews for the coaches of kids summer camps and interviews for kit man - you can argue whether he should or not.
For the sake of bluemoon friendship can`t we wait until the season end before the Hughes out threads - of course criticise selections, formations, subtitutions, etc etc but to actively seek his sacking is ludicrous at this stage.
