He's hardly persisted with Whyte ... he hasn't started many games (less than half of them) and was left out of the squad altogether in most of October & November. He has been patient with him and knows there is a decent player somewhere in there, we just need to encourage him to get the best out of him. In his home appearances recently he has shown glimmers of improvement.
In a recent interview JM used the words 'having issues' in relation to Whyte so I suspect there is some off field problem with him. It may just be that he has had problems adjusting to the move down here, but IMO he looks a bit depressed when we see him, and that is a bigger problem in the game than most think.
