The Manifesto is designed to enhance SLOP's credibility. If SLOP starts from day 1 screaming for Linehan's head, regardless of how the team plays, then nobody would take it seriously (nor should they). On the other hand, if SLOP emphasizes that it supports the team, and will evaluate Linehan in a rational manner, then, in the event that Linehan fails, nobody will be able to argue that SLOP didn't give him a fair chance.
Make no mistake... I don't think Linehan is a good coach, and I doubt he'll still be around in 2009. But, if he proves me wrong, that will mean that the Rams are having a good year, so I'll be happy about that.
