Managers who play unapologetically dire football in the name of results have absolutely no goodwill to play with when results go south for a period of time. Unlucky.
There'll be pundits queuing up to tell WBA fans that they should have been delighted with the holy grail of surviving every season but if they were sick of watching that shit then I don't blame them. As a fan, football's pointless if all it is is a grind.
