I see no problem with it, personally.
Also, I would argue that, while Man City have spent a lot of money, they're also a brilliantly run and managed club. Plenty of clubs have spent a fortune and achieved naff all.
I don't know about most fans, but I've certainly heard him getting a slating on a few occasions. I didn't particularly rate him, I just wondered why Pearson seems to get a pass when Holden didn't
The argument being that Holden gets a bad rap, when he had less than a season to make a difference. Unlike Pearson, who's had 18 months and still hasn't made a huge amount of difference, yet many on here wouldn't dream of getting rid of him.
