searched and searched but didn't see any lashing out
See I disagree with pretty much every word of it.
Some fans did not accept him, not all as the quote might suggest.
Otherwise not much to argue with in those quotes
So Wayne, what did you do to make the fans accept you ?
newblueDisagree with what?
That the fans didn't take to him.
There were Rooney masks and flags all over the away games. He had his name chanted despite us being effing awful.
Hull game aside he was encouraged and supported.
I also disagree we were in a false position, we'd accumulated enough points and goal difference to be in the playoffs. We deserved to be there. Would we have finished ther? Who knows. I know we'd have picked up more points than he did though.
We were chanting his name 10 or 11 games in
If he'd have got results or made the team look even semi coherent he'd have ended up being popular, he didn't and that's on him and his lack of ability.
The impression I got was that he was pretty popular with our away fans but was never really given a chance at home.
I don't think he was popular with anyone. He was supported better by the away fans despite not liking him, as they didn't see the point about being negative about it as it wouldn't help the team.
Yeah, your right supported is the much better word for it.
He seems to be moaning a lot about the clubs he's managed not being in a 'good position' and not having a pre-season etc.
Does he not realise that most jobs come up because clubs are in disarray (either on the pitch, off it or both) and a lot of the time it is during a season.
Sounds like he wants the perfect job at the perfect time which isn't gonna happen.
Good luck to him but judging by his comments, I don't hold out much hope.
he isn’t complaining, so no need for the snark.So Wayne, what did you do to make the fans accept you ?
