A Rapid Rise Would Not Surprise.

Agree with most of that. I'll say I'm happy to wait for as long as it takes. AFAIC, we've been down the sack the coach path and where has it got us? The bloke will make, he and the team needs time. I said in another post that "Its time", by that I meant its time to stop making excuses for everything and be ruthless on the field. Do that and it will turn very quickly.

The problem is "as long as it takes" is not realistic in football terms because pressure increases with every unsuccessful year.
While some are prepared to be patient, others will say...Is this really the best way forward?
If we'd just rolled along as we had in the past without a rebuild would we have finished 2 and 20 in 2018...who knows, but I suspect not.
Would we be better placed for the future...you would like to think we would be ...but again, who knows!
At the end of the day football is about success and progress.
If that's not occurring at a very visible and measurable rate questions will be asked of the direction you've chosen.
For some of us older folk ..."as long as it takes" is unacceptable because we may not be around to see the fruits of the rebuild.
