BUT, BUT, you forgot Covid as well.........................................................Yep, it was almost instant. I said as much earlier. And although expected, it's strange, i've found it wierd for a while now. It's almost universally agreed (or it ought to be) that he's great at the money side but he's also either incompetent or has been negligent at the football side of things yet people still talk about the finances, FFP, net spend and all the other stuff. It simply cannot be argued against, he's overseen such a decline that almost 85% of fans want him removed and that doesn't happen for no reason. People shouldn't be unhappy at the state of the club away from the pitch, fucking hell, it's so obvious where his fault lays.
It's deflection. And people fall for it.
We could be the most profitable club in the world, have the biggest this, the most of that and the bloke in charge is at best waiting for FFP to worm it's way into our favour and we spend most of our lives and invest our emotions and our hopes supporting a club run by a bloke who's not up to that side of the gig.
But hey, go try to win an impossible to win argument about FFP or whatnot
