To be fair ... football managers are bottom of the food chain ..... he could want to buy messi, ronaldo etc etc but if he's is not backed up by his bosses he is powerless ..... what other manager would come under these conditions ......

Well Judas sold out for a lot less - that's all I have to say for a so called "legend" who loves the club.
If he continues to be part of it, he's just there for the money as well. No if's but's or maybe's in my world. 
He can see what's going on he's on the inside he should quit - mind you he's too stupid to work it out.
We are desperate for players, he has a few days break - he jets of for some warm weather training - trusting our new recruitment team to find us a couple of hidden gems - it all stinks. Where were the knockers who were saying I was being to critical at the beginning of the window when I said we should be bringing players in. They need to wake up and admit we are being stripped from the inside.
And BEFORE anyone starts saying i'm OTT explain where the £25 million has gone and why we need a bank loan and why don't Lai loan us some money. Then you can kick me.

Phil, we all know you're passionate about the club, and sometimes you put a message on in haste, shall we say, but to KEEP on calling BD thick, stupid, etc. is in my view out of order. There's no need for it.
In this instance you're calling him again because he's not falling on his sword in protest. He is very early into his dream job, so I for one, wouldn't expect him to.
