No its played to perfection. Will be a short rolling contract, small wages.. all the hallmarks to give fans hope its short term and the takeover is still a possibility with an easy to shift manager. Reality is he has gone as cheap as possible and played a blunder to keep a few hopeful fans still hooked on the SDFC smack.
Aye he has, he's gotten rid of a manager who would keep the club ticking along for no money spent. Then spent £4m to replace him with a alci loser who'll guarentee relegation and cost him £100m minimum. Definitely played a blunder, but thats the fat slug all over, top business man like..
Its whats been said before. Ashley knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
