If we split your statement up:
I) we'd have seen signs of change by now - I disagree.
II) Mick's not going to change - I'm inclined to agree but we can't say definitely until end of this season with renewals/new signings etc.
I'm not saying we shouldn't push for better but that we can't do that without some resources to work with (money, youth players coming through) and we're in the process of building up our resources.
Fans on here speaking about mistakes from between DJ leaving and Harris coming in doesn't describe our club's current situation - though does have a role in explaining why we have so few resources to build on.
Just asking for a bit more patience really so that if it goes wrong next summer posters on here haven't exhausted their moaning during a time when things are going reasonably well given our circumstances.
Enjoy the re-building process! There's actually some things within it going well.
