Some people do expect instant success which of course isn't the right attitude, however:
there are also some people who expect their new manager to conduct himself in a dignified and respectful fashion not only in the way that he treats the players and fans of his new club (in his willingness to blab to his media pals) but also that he at least ensures that there a semblence of competence reflected in the way he organises the players at his disposal regardless of the result...
unfortunately Roy has thus far failed on all of the above counts: blame the players then backtrack, insult the fans who are protesting against the owners then backtrack etc etc, list goes on. Seeing as he's so loved by his LMA chums and mates in the BBC/Sky perhaps he's better off somewhere where he's wanted, God forbid England fans, he could be the successor to Capello!
I hope that certain people and most of all the board at LFC who have no footballing knowledge who were behind the sacking of Rafael Benitez are now satisfied with what they've done.
(Don't mean to sound harsh on Roy the man outside football, he seems like a decent bloke but the poor guy looks like a broken man already and for the sake of his health I hope he does the right thing)
