we were going backwards almost from the get go. its very easy for you to dismiss the fact he had a season and a half to implement his tactics. his own players as you say,are some of the worst transfers this club ever made,for top money. why give him another season when so many things are not looking like he can resolve them? week after week the tactics didnt work,players selection was qustionable, in game managemet not good enough. people say he needed time to get things right, but the more time passed the more it looked like he didnt know how. what makes you think next season would have been any better,not to mention a lot better?
