I don't truly care - you were wrong. It's happened before, it'll happen again. But in the end, its incredibly hypocritical for you to call folks out for trying to look at past performance to dictate future results when that was your rallying cry when Pioli showed up.

I don't think putting blame on people who wanted to give Pioli time in that first year necessarily makes them Nazi war criminals.
Coming out of a long and painful regime like Carl Peterson's, which finished out with nice smelly 4-12/2-14 seasons, would make anybody hopeful for the next guy, and if he had a resume like Pioli's, it's only natural to take the stance of "He just needs some time."
That doesn't make us war criminals. But we were all guilty. Every single one of us.
