I heard he was a good player for them and for us SAF was not even at a world class standard player for Rangers, but look at how his management career has progressed  .

He signed Shearer for them when he was a promising youngster. He had a strike rate of about 1 in 4 at Southampton, so it's not quite fair to say he had Shearer. He signed and helped develop him.
I think he should probably move upstairs at the end of the season, not because he hasn't improved our football, because he has, but because of his purchasing of pace-leass, average British players, when we were lacking pace and creativity.
Fergie took 7 years to win the league but finished 2nd in his second season, so maybe you need to be a little more forgiving of the failures of others?
