At least with the yanks we were slowly improving and living roughly within our means. We've spazzed millions in the last 3 years with no cohesive plan and no end product. We used to sign hungry young players, now we sign mercenaries.

But, Mel's what our cretinous fans want. So on we go. Keep chuckin cash at it. It might work one year and we'll go up..... Then down and bust. Hooray!
Why is he an 'egotistical tool'? He doesn't seem to desire or demand a particularly high profile. One obvious example apart there's no evidence of him wanting to interfere on a daily basis. If that was the case why has he spent so much money on trying to get the right manager? He's probably spending millions as we speak on the severance pay of McClaren, Clement, Pearson and Co. Criticise him all you want for making poor appointments, there's ample evidence of that. Criticise those around him for providing poor advice...ample evidence of that too, but an 'egotistical tool' and 'cretinous fans'...unfair on both counts imo.
