BarrelofFun said:Yes, he would have been called every name under the sun - unfair criticism. I think there will be a little more slack for Wilkins as he is learning.
It has something to do with context. Discontent grew for MM because results and performances had been poor for a while while Wilkins is young and only been in the job a short while. I do definately feel Wilkins will be given more slack because he is a favourite but at the moment it is pointless comparing the reactions against the two.
