Beware of jealousy, they say.
But I find it hard not to be when I look at clubs of a similar size, in similar situations, handling it far better than us.
Marco Silva's reluctance to sign a new contract has hampered our season. It is something that is becoming increasingly difficult to argue against.
It becomes more frustrating when you look at Bournemouth, who continued to perform despite uncertainty surrounding boss Andoni Iraola, even before he took the decision to inform the club of his intention to leave in the summer.
The players' ability to shut out the noise, coupled with the manager's move to bring certainty to the situation, respecting fans and the club alike - while still helping the side succeed - are in contrast to the confusion, mystery and inertia surrounding our Portuguese coach's future.
It has shown on the pitch. We have failed to score a goal in five of our last six games and once again look likely to fizzle out at the most crucial part of the campaign, when so much remains on the table.
The drab stalemate at Brentford encapsulated this perfectly. The players - and manager - appeared to be going through the motions. We are not in trouble, but we are not showing any ambition to go further either.
It all leads me to wonder whether it is best to just part ways. But I am wary of being careful what I wish for. You only have to look across London at West Ham for an example of the dangers of swapping a manager who delivers mid-table security for a fresh start - and David Moyes even delivered a trophy for the Hammers.
Ultimately, this situation needs to be resolved as soon as possible. It is not too late to save the rest of the season; a new deal, or a decision to part amicably, could be the catalyst for a run of form in these final five games that sees us push past the ceiling that we have been knocking against for the past three years.
Then the green eyes of envy would be firmly locked on SW6.
