He just doesn't like Benitez I would hazard a guess. -

I would look at the other way. Every year he keeps the club, the more expensive it gets to stay in the Premier league due to the rocketing costs of players. We aren't in a good position any more because most of our players are worthless compared to what it would cost to upgrade them. While Ashley was no doubt creaming his pants when we got the money for players like Cabaye, Sissoko, Wijnaldum and Townsend, you would struggle to buy that calibre of player now. I honestly don't think he sees his methods as flawed and each relegation is a temporary setback. He seems to just stubbornly persist with the methods that have been effective in his own business - bottom line, surround yourself by yes men, turn in a profit. He also doesn't care about us enough or the clubs welfare in general, business aside, and as the likes of Big Geordie subscribe to he actually gets a laugh about the whole thing with his wanker hanger on mates to boot. Those methods only work if you can stay in the Premier though. The last relegation set us back two years, and if we go down again it will put us back further again, and that's assuming we come straight back up, which is a big thing to take for granted. You don't need to tell me that. It's the ignorant twat himself. -

It's funny that you say that because Harold Shipman was actually jailed for life, having been convicted of murdering hundreds of women in primary care. At least Paul Lambert has a good, clean record on that front.

Looks like he's not going to be the Magic Bullet we needed.

It's like Harold Shipman being made made head of a primary care trust.

There's some nice spells and moves often IMO but we just don't have the quality to finish.
