You own the store, you make the ultimate decision. If you get somebody to run your store and he fooks up, I'd look at yourself, not blame him.

Two totally different tasks.I think for the progress we made on field, which to me is from relegation candidates to consistent top 6 and a cup final, £80m is not an over spend. I also think that if he had spent it as badly as some make out that simply would not have happened. Overall we got value for money both in terms of results on the pitch and the potential resale value of the squad.However, it seems his downfall was not fees, but wages. In this I can understand the need to control the ratio to turnover, but we have to accept that in doing so it may be one step back in order to take two forward.
To be fair to MON If we sold Young and Milner the net spend would be about 30mil which wouldn't be too bad over 5 years. That said I don't want to be fair to him, we couldn't make a profit on almost every signing he's made.
