He didn’t waste any money, mista...mainly perhaps because he didn’t have a window to do so...but after eddy’s post yesterday I checked on Clement’s spending and...jeez, eddy’s right...he really wasted a lot!

I think I agree with you and GP on where Wassall’s strengths lie...but he hasn’t, in Swale’s words, done ‘**** all’, in fact he’s probably done more for the club than most high profile employees and is one of the few who hasn’t let MM down, imo.

The fact that he hasn’t gone off to manage Burton possibly suggests either that, as you and GP suggest, he’s happier in his current role, or bright enough to recognise a poisoned chalice (of management not necessarily BAFC) when he sees one.
