If he doesn't, the growing numbers turning on him will only get louder.

Are you on crack or something?

"Growing numbers turning on him"?

25 points from our last 12 league games. 66% win ratio. Not good enough !

I heard he was having problems with the word 'mom'. "But that's what Americans say!" He is believed to have told Damian Vidagany's mum.

Fail to beat Palace and it will be a race to see who starts the "next manager" thread as enough will be enough!

First the Worried thread gets dug up and then a week later a new manager thread.

I have a feeling Risso would've started that thread a long time ago!

Even with the limitations of the squad Unai is not going about it right. Playing with no width is absolutely killing us.
The club haven’t done enough this summer, and Unai isn’t doing enough either.
He needs to stick to coaching the players which he is very good at.  Keep him away from transfer dealings and building a squad because he simply can't be trusted to either of them himself or employ people capable doing it for him.  If he has a strop and walks, so be it.
And yet you say Monchi & Vidagany ain't up to the transfer lark either ...

... pitching for a job, mate?

They're not.  If either of them told me the sun was shining  then id go and check for myself.  Hence he needs the club to bring in better people to do it for him and to stick to what he is good at.  All of the messages being given by the club at the moment is that everyone is for sale at any price, hence players under performing because they know they could be next, and yet another appalling poor transfer window.

If he doesn't, the growing numbers turning on him will only get louder.
I suppose you and your right double the growing number to two

I remember him being fixated on Neil Taylor not being very good. Which is fine, except it was during our ten game winning streak.

We need to replace Rashford , Asensio , Disasi and Ramsey this week or we could be in for some very tough months ahead . The window has been a bit of a train crash so far .

Guessand replaces at least one of Ramsey and Rashford. And given the only coherent objection to Rashford was that he'd be taking minutes that Ramsey should be playing, the argument can be made that he's replacing both.

But he was crap.

Risso was usually quite good at spotting when enough was enough though I often felt he went a few months early on Smith and a touch early on Gerrard.

Yes, we famously didn't have to worry about playing in Europe last season.
