I dunno, man.

He only had a watching brief this Summer and, by any standards other than our previous Fatso ones , it was a shambles. A free defender who is definitely finding the transition hard, a ridiculously expensive 'keeper who cost so much because of our need to balance the books but who it seems we have no intention of playing and a rookie striker with potential. Factor in having to sell a popular and talented local star and the exciting prospect we'd all been looking forward to seeing and you'd be hard pressed to argue against him that our transfer policy wasn;t fit for purpose.

The media seem keen to stir up the notion of a massive rift between them but their motivation is clicks before truth.

I think he deserves some time.
