And for those who quite stupidly are on AK's back at the moment...............I think you should read more into the constant term being used of "PROJECT".
He will be the manager for at least the whole of next season, if not many to come, the players know he is the boss and he is not going anywhere.
So you better get used to it...........AK will finally get to spend some decent money in the summer, he will have a whole pre-season with his new squad and you better get used to that winning feeling again next season.

I see your arrogance hasn't changed in the intervening couple of years since you ran off after a ban.
I like Karanka. The style he wants is the style I like. I listen to him (including yesterday) and have faith in him. I even think the three goaless draws were really good results.
But the last two games are unacceptable and it's foolish and disingenuous to say otherwise. Whether you like a manager or not the important thing is to remain honest.
In both games we have succumbed to that sides basic tactics within minutes if kick off. The very stuff the team has been working on all week has been thrown out of the window within seconds.
Once we concede you might as well go home. Neither the fans nor the players have any faith in our ability to score. We have the same sterile possession as under MW. We are conceding the same stupid set piece goals as under MW- if we give the opposition a corner it feels as good as a direct free kick as no one has conceded more from corners than us.
I appreciate the context. The 10 (very narrow) wins of Warburton were predicated on the goals of just three players- all of whom lost form months ago and before Karanka set foot in the club. Murphy first, then McKay, then Dowell. The goals had already dried up under Warburton and he had nothing in his armoury to turn that around once that happened.
But Karanka needs to turn that around and he hasn't been successful in doing so. As a consequence the comfortable lead he has built up has eroded and people like myself are still slightly worried..
We'll likely lose on Tuesday because we always lose at home to Brentford. Yet a sixth game without a goal would be disastrous going into the easy games against Ipswich and Barnsley.
Our season should be put to bed with two wins from these home games. Yet on current form of everyone it is possible for us to be bang in trouble as well.
My retention of faith in Karanka depends on these three games and whether our season is over or desperate at the end of them
