I'm sure I didn't suggest in my original post I was superior, and I apologise if I came across as arrogant; what I did try to do was present and defend an alternative point of view and plead for a little patience. Some of the comments on this site against Fletcher and individual players have been OTT, and I won't apologise for speaking out against that because I don't believe anyone doing an honest job in any walk of life deserves it. I DID call for Williamson's head, BTW, I'm by no means an apologist for poor performances and I agree if we're in this position come Christmas I would neither be surprised nor would I complain if Fletch goes.
Although I'm not a big Fletcher fan and certainly am not convinced as yet he's ever going to be a top manager, I am a big fan of moderation, I do believe there have been some green shoots and mitigating circumstances which justify giving Fletcher a few more games to turn it around, and furthermore will not be swayed from my opinion that some of the opinions expressed on this site behind a comfy blanket of anonymity are nothing short of playground standard insults and borderline slander. We all have disappointments in life but most adults are able to deal with them without public displays of vitriol.
Feel free to disagree in an objective manner with the points I've raised, some of what's been written has made me think, and that's what it should be all about rather than a snide dismissal of somebody elses opinion because you think your point of view is somehow more valid than theirs. This is how your original comment came across and is probably what has rubbed some people up the wrong way.
