That's absolutely fine and understandable.
I've always said that I've got the patience of a musician. I've seen some of the least naturally talent people struggle through for years then one day it clicks. I'm hoping (not expecting) this is the case with Moyes. He certainly doesn't give the impression of a natural.
I'm quite patient and was willing to spend a season or two away from honours and trophies or even challenging for them. But my patience ran out when I realised we weren't even looking like a team with a manager who knew what our problems were much less doing anything to address them.
Someone posted here last night that by now after the season we've had we should least see signs of green shoots, even if we do get beat a lot. We should be well into the period of "Well, we lost but you can see what he's trying to do". Instead the season is in its dusk and we're all still asking "WTF is he trying to do?". We should at least be playing well, even if we don't get the results. We're not back to square one as that'd indicate we ever left, which we haven't.
There's only so much lack of progression that I could tolerate. Even if we never challenged for the title for the next 3 years if it was evident what the manager was building towards and that he had a clue then I'd not love it but most of us would accept it. But we're not even beginning to learn the lessons that IMO a competent coach would have noticed in pre-season training let alone getting to April and still looking as if he doesn't have a clue what's going wrong.
