As likeable as the guy may be, his appointment is baffling. We’re now run by people who not only don’t understand soccer-ball, but they’ve also ripped out all the supporting infrastructure & implanted a manager who is a talking text book. It’s not what our players, our fans or our environment requires. (See the performance, the reaction & the league table). We are a real, honest, passionate, hard-working club, which has punched above its weight through connectivity & harnessing the energy of the support and collective spirit of our players. I have no problem wishing to evolve long term, but you can’t uproot a hardy, gnarly fir tree & re-plant it in Mediterranean soil & and expect it to thrive. It shows arrogance, ignorance & a total lack of respect for the environment in which we operate and the human element of the sport which we practise. It was all so avoidable & is all the more tragic for it. Egotism & ignorance, seem (sadly all too often) to be the American way.
