Hes definitely mor smug since we've been winning and demonstrations have calmed down, some of his comments are patronising to the highest degree, so there's no doubt in my mind the wins, the lack of protest and people being happy makes life easier for him, I agree fans don't matter to hi but if you had 60000 fans on your back I'm not sure you'd be content.
Where we finish in the league won't determine whether he stays, IMO he's staying and people don't seem overly bothered by that, it looks like we've signed some freebie as well, if we have we wouldn't be doing so before we got another manager. What I find amazing however is that he's constantly sniping at fans and patronising them and they seem happy to accept this from a man who would be nothing without them.
The guy has been stringing it out waiting for results to improve so he can soften the blow, he's hoping for a cup win, I reckon he's deluded because Chelsea are a better team and will send us packing.
