New manager needs at least 3 Years says Ginola

[SpurSince57]

Just because managers got more time and there was less demands it doesn't mean the example is without merit. I can imagine at the time we went down, many supporters would have wanted him out but the chairman still stuck with him.

As I recall, most supporters at the time—at least the ones I knew—felt he'd been landed with a near-impossible task after the Gooner twat Neill screwed things up and then buggered off back where he came from. I don't think we or the board would have been quite so forgiving if KB had failed to get us back into the top flight at the first attempt, something he came alarmingly close to doing.
