Joolz that was from 5 months ago to be fair and things have changed a fair bit especially in the last month, I don't lke AVB theres just something about him that I don't like but...........
At the moment we are playng alot better and getting results so I am happy and I think you'll find that Baldbloke has said pretty much the same thing in recent weeks, so please leave off the insults and just be happy that the team is winning and we are being won over !!!!
To be fair this is true, Ugs and Baldbloke have been far more positive and constructive of late and good on them for doing it as well.
My point is simply the fact that most supporters here were happy to give AVB their full support . Innocent until proven guilty if you like. Unfortunately the above mentioned "fans" had him lynched before he even started.
To be frank, as one stage, I was not entirely convinced he was the right man for the job, but that did not mean that he woudn't get my full support regardless of his previous experience or lack of. To me, liking or not liking him did not come into it at all. So I don't understand the "I don't like him" bit. I mean, I don't really like my boss, but I give him 100% everyday.
IMO, this general dislike of AVB is purely based on the fact that he came to us with a poor CV due to his his lack of professional football and the fact that he was sacked from Chelsea and for those reasons alone, his creds as a potentially successful manager didn't ring right for some.
We are only half way though the season and historically, we tend to lose ground in the second part. I don't believe this will happen this time round and we will maintain a good level of wins or draws until May. I doubt that the 10 game or so dive of last year will happen again, but as this is football, anything can happen!
AVB will need the rest of the season and a CL spot for his "haters" to come round starting with a win at QPR. Losing against our old boss would do his creds any good. Can't see that happening though.
