    Pretty sure we haven't even had Paulo Bento for an entire year and people are calling for his head already? I think the guy's got, what, 1 loss to his name as KNT manager?

    I understand the want for a manager who might be better than what we already have. But given the KFA's penchant to botch things up as well as our dressing room turmoil of KPA and domestic league players, Bento's done himself a job so far.

    wins don't mean anything if there was no progress in team improvement.

    25-5-7 with 64 GF and 25 GA for a GD of +39 isn't enough to keep this GLORIOUSLY PRESTIGIOUS job

    With that being said, what kind of manager wants to work for an employer who sacks a manager without solid justification? It's not like there's a WC or AC to prepare for right now.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by progress in team improvement. The way I see it, team is in a period of transition: our strengths moved very quickly from midfield of Ki/Koo/LCY towards pushing the load onto the forwards Son/Hwang HC/Hwang UJ.

    Stielike lost 4 of his last 12 matches, most of them in AFC WCQ. We were pushed to the brink of not making the WC and really snuck our way in. You all want to hold Bento's feet to the fire for what reason exactly? I'm not a Bento apologist by any means, but the concept of "progress in team improvement" is incredibly subjective without any sort of substantive objective end goal. What level do you imagine this KNT at and which manager does the KFA bring in to achieve the perceived heights with this personnel within a year?

    No any competent manager would express their interest on KNT job if we sack Bento now.
