For me I would normally applaud their courage in such a scenario. Being an optimist and all...
Unfortunately, under these cunts I see it as nothing other than a desperate tactic to uncover a hidden gem. That will probably make them money in the long term if he succeeds and if he doesn't they've lost nowt. Likewise for Vieira - if he fucks up..."ah well the conditions, blah blah blah". If he doesn't "ah I get my big move for more big money."
Fuck off man.
Anyways, I will back him all the way, so long as he isn't another yes man who implements this hideous "football" philosophy...
