The way you go on about KC it clearly IS personal for some reason. I just had a quick browse of your posts because I figured I'd find a post of you unnecessarily criticising KC after a decent win ie our complete dominance against Wigan in June. After we beat Huddersfield, Wire and Hull KR in consecutive weeks? Not a single post on any match. After we beat Hull FC, Wire, Salford and Wigan in consecutive weeks? Not a single comment on any match. You only bother commenting when we lose which automatically means it is KC's fault to you.
Permit me to point out a few serious flaws in your argument:
1 - I do not know KC. I have never met him. Ergo how can it be personal? If I consider a player consistently not to be up to the standard we expect/need does that mean it's personal too? Maybe everyone who bags Matt Dawson means they are all personal towards him too?
2 - You are correct in that I didn't comment on those results. There's a reason - that's my expectation.
3 - I'm referring to performances. You are referring to results which is what most blinkered Saints fans do. My assertion at the moment is that we are grossly under performing and it's not acceptable. It's happened too often despite the results you cite.
4 - I judge people on their merits and I don't care if it contradicts the populist approach that he's untouchable because he has a statue. That was yesterday. This is today. The Peter Principle applies in abundance.
5 - I have lost an immense amount of respect for him as he appears to be Mr Teflon. Always someone else's fault and doesn't accept any responsibility. Ever. Middles. Edges. Half Backs. Senior Players. Junior Players. Never him.
6 - Criticising his players in public. Not acceptable. Clearly the apologists will say 'aww leave him alone it's his first year'. I don't care. You don't do that. Ever. It's simply unprofessional.
So. Sorry to torpedo your knee jerk apologist reaction with facts but there you go. Let's see how we go next week and the week after ey? Confident? No?
Wonder why.
