If....

IF you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don''t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don''t give way to hating,

And yet don''t look too good, nor talk too wise:

Your name will be Chris Hughton and i for one am standing by you. A change in manager is not the answer, we need stability, things will turn good we just have to be patient.

Your name might also be Glenn Roeder or Nigel Worthington but respect for having a view and sticking to it.

I think Kipling missed out the line about hanging on to get the cash settlement for the rest of the contract....
