Just a couple of comments with regards to some of the above.

Firstly what's an AVB revolution. This guy won Portugal and the Europa league. Would you give Steve Mclaren the job. He won the dutch league and almost won the Europa with boro. The simple answer is you wouldn't your shiote.

Secondly. why do people believe that 5 or 6 more games are going to improve the situation. We had a good lump of last year to see that he's a useless communicator. A season on and we are seeing the start of his same mistakes again. Our team yesterday was a mess, end off. No fitness issues, no players inferior to the opposition, no personality clashes. Infact from a tactical view point we started very well. It's once the whistle was sounded to start the game that it all fell down. Every time he changes something we look worse not better. Sound familiar. If not then ask any chelsea fan.

Lastly we are with in touching distance of continuous CL football. It's one think to get rid of arry because you don't trust him to deliver that every year and you have a proven world class manager lined up to replace him. It's another to let an amateur who's already failed spectacularly in England at the highest level before at the job.

I hope I'm wrong, I'll be only delighted to eat humble pie but I really fear that this is a veryvwrong appointment. My most negative Outlook in a long time.

Lads, it was only last week that alot of us where mightily impressed with some of our performace at newcastle. Yestetday was poor but next week we could destroy norwich. Who knows. If we are as bad as yesterday in each of the next 3 games then thats when its time to panic.

Look folks, we have one more point than we had this time last year. Lets not get excited until we offload the spoilt child and see who we're getting in. We're unsettled and are going to be until we find out feet.

If you compare apples with apples then we are 3 points worse off than last season

We drew Newcastle away and beat WBA both times

Comparing these two games to united and city is pointless

I agree, it's too early for such comparisons...we're just gonna have to compare one full season to the last

pointless doing that because if we beat norwich next saturday we will have the same return for these 3 games as we had last season.

Ir's pointless comparing last seasons results to this seasons, absolutely pointless... HR was in the job since 2008 and had a settled group of players... AVB has no such luxury...

Great to hear BAE commenting how 'cool' the manager is and of looking forward to playing for him because he uses tactics (crazy concept)....

For me, progress will be judged on September 29th when we head to Old Trafford for what used to be Harry's bi-annual offering of three points on a plate to his old mate whiskey nose...

In the meantime, have some faith....

More than willing to give AVB a chance, some knee jerk reactions on here to say the least. If anything I'm more frustrated with Levys ability to get deals sorted.
