This club of ours, FFS it's a midden. Why would you drag someone halfway across the globe without the full knowledge that it was a deal that could go through no problem? Expecting it and knowing it are two different propositions.
A standing joke in the game this lot. Cant get investment and or a stadium built; a chairman who lives in a fantasy world populated by z-list actors; directors with ill-fitting wigs who live in Florida and flogs butties to nobheads; a CEO who gives away parts of the club for a handful of magic beans.
What other major club has had to put up with flotsam and jetsam like these for 16 years?
