Everything is relative and I could argue that managers who got us out of League 2 did not count because it was a lower league but that would be wrong to do. With regards to Smith I also supported him in the early days because I saw something that some others did not. The same happened with Sawyers who I thought was quality after his first couple of games.
I may be wrong about JW or I may be right and time will tell but Jon has had a lot less games than Smith so based on that comparison we would also have got rid of Smith after 100 games and that would have been a mistake. The chance that we will bring a good manager in is a lot less than bringing a poor one in so I think that we are better off with the devil we know at the moment rather than the devil we don't know. We need to get behind him and the team rather than keep trying to influence decisions, particularly if the ones doing it are under the influence themselves..
Absolutely, which is why I said if you are happy with that fair enough. I'm not. That's my opinion.
You absolutely can argue that. In fact I would. But as I said I wasn't making a comparison. Whitney has only played in League one and that is his record. As you keep bringing up Smith, the main difference was that there was a steady improvement in performances from the Hutchings era, which is why people like yourself wanted to give him time. We absolutely cannot say that about Whitney. It's demonstrably worse.
I really don't understand that? Why is it a better chance we bring in a worse manager than Whitney?
I didn't mean that there is a better chance, I meant that it's pot luck. Thanks for the debate El_Nombre but we must agree to disagree as it's all about opinions and as there is no real answer we could go on forever.
