Dammit, I was a minute too late. Can a mod please merge or lock the thread I made?

This was always going to end in tears, but I'm surprised it ended so early.

Hahahahahahaha. He is a total tool. To slag off his players like he has done is a recipe for disaster. He would have lost the dressing room and the board could see it.

Not a surprise, he looks out of his depth and has made some really strange signings.

His comments about his players heads being full of rubbish was the nail in the coffin after entering the coffin when facing off the fans.

Massive LOL. He paid too much attention to the right wing to take the team any further.

I found him entertaining, even if he was a complete fool with obnoxious beliefs.

No great shock. The way he taunted the fans the other day was ridiculous. He was supposedly trying to show he relates to their woes. He can't even relate to his players.
