Guess who else you said this about Ian?
Anyone who takes the job is instantly tainted by association, this is why the club can't go anywhere without a clean break. He'll be utterly reviled by Christmas, and the cycle repeats itself.
Yeah because there are already people "disgusted" by what he said in his first interview after being given a great opportunity. Like Ian said, he's hardly going to get the job and go "yeah fuck Ashley, amirite? Fucking mug!" It's ridiculous to think otherwise.
It's the most uninspiring choice after what seemed like a few more exciting options, but it's better than where we were at this time last year. We need to judge him on who he brings in and how he performs next season, not judge him on his first interview to the club newspaper.
