that doesn't necessarily mean that that's the right thing to do.

And that is sort of where I'm at at the moment, is that, you know, I think I agree with what the guys have said.

In a sense, it's very hard for me to see a world where, you know, if, as Mark said, he loses at home to a forest or something on the fourth game of the season, or even on, you know, the 10th game of the season, having won his previous nine.

The toxicity, I think it's so hard to envision a world where

I think if he's able to turn it around from here, it will almost be unprecedented, I think, in the modern era.

And that's not me saying 100% that can't happen.

And that's not me saying I don't want that to happen, because I think, and again, I'm sure people will say, this is you trying to protect access or whatever, and it isn't.

I can only speak from the dealings that I have had with him as a human being.

And he is a good guy.

And again, that's not me saying that means that he should be kept in post without question for a long time.

But that's why this season, you know, I think a lot of the way that he's spoken about, and even the other day, you know, I can scroll through Twitter and I'll get 10 posts saying, I saw one the other day, I hope he has a terrible life.

I wish nothing but the worst for him.

Yeah.

And that sort of level of vitriol is why I found it quite hard to not give him sympathy and not give him time because I just think that's wrong.

That's my personal opinion.

And it's like, if anyone had read anything that I've written over the course of this season, particularly over the last couple of months,

I've been critical of the manager, I've been very critical of the manager.

There's a difference between being critical and being unprofessional and rude, which I think when people are saying, oh, why aren't you criticising them?

People don't want you to criticise them.

Yeah, because you're not saying you should have a terrible life and stuff like that.
