It’s annoying as f***. There’s continental Head Coaches who’d probably come to the Premier League on Bruce-like wages and do an infinitely better job, and could have done better with recruitment if we’d had a DoF. We could have been a decent mid-table club even on the budget Ashley has set out over the last 18 months but he royally f***ed it with this appointment. Not that he cares but he could have still had a half content fanbase even after the Rafa situation if he’d treated us like a proper football club.
I remember hearing that Bruno Genesio was rumoured to be in negotiations to take over when Rafa left. I had absolutely no fucking idea who he was but I was hoping he'd sign on purely because he wasn't Steve bastard Bruce.
