Excellent post! Looking at it that way we are lucky to have him. I remember the barren years after the first Double and don't want to go back there ever. Keep the faith, it won't be a long wait.
The best reason is that we never have to remember who our manager is - the fans of some clubs go away on holiday and return to find YET ANOTHER nobody in charge for a few months. I bet they often start talking about 'the bloke in charge' only to be told he was sacked 4 months ago etc....
I remember the heady days of getting to 3 consecutive FA Cup finals at the end of the 70s. Alan Sunderland .................
And the reception Frank Stapleton got when he returned to Highbury in Utd colours. Anyone who thinks Na$ri got a rough ride in the week should try finding some film on Stapleton that day...
