Im not getting drawn into this, hanging a whole argument on one word.
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander, We want 4th and that is the clubs expectation. If we dont get it we have failed, under Sherwood just as we would have under AVB.
Maybe but if we are simply talking about managers at the point of avb's sacking this clubs season was in meltdown, for someone to come in even just as a caretaker manager to put us back in contention for 4th when we looked out of
It and more likely to get 6th is a big achievement, it may still fall apart. However we cannot judge ts on 4th because he took over mid season in a crisis if he was manager at the start of the season I would be far less happy if we where not in the top 4 at this moment.
It is because we have got so many points under ts that we are back in it but it is also the reason why we have less room for a bad patch. I have said all along that ts will probably go at the end of the season but his performance so far, Woolwich, man city aside has been very good.
