Second division team

Ah, but the rules are different for 'media-darlings' clubs.

Palace, for example-got rid of Pardew after a season or so and pundits nodded their heads and said 'aye, had it coming'. Everton binned Allardyce and it's 'oh, but the football is much better now and the poor Everton fans shouldn't have had to put up with such agricultural football'. Man u have spent £100s of millions on their team but when Mourinho whinges about not enough being spent this Summer pundits ask 'should the board have backed him'.

I swear it's a geographical thing...'ah, we can say anything we like, those northern monkeys can barely read and they don't matter anyway...they're basically Scottish, aren't they?'

Spot on. And what happens when we want more than we are getting? "Mike Ashley is entitled to do what he's doing, he's made the club financially stable". Man Utd are knee deep in debt, but "a manager like Mourinho needs to be backed properly".

FFS.
