He made idiotic decisions, so I'll go with idiot too.
I take idiot to mean foolish.

There is no link between intelligence and wisdom.

I reckon there must have been two blokes called Tom Fox working at Arsenal. One was the Chief Commercial Officer and the other one ran the club shop. We mixed them up and appointed the wrong one.

A poor result next week and we may see how serious they are.

I trust they're prepared for another season in the Championship.

He was an unmitigated disaster.  He made Tim Sherwood (who he appointed, lest we forget) look like a beacon of intelligence and competence.  Fox was just about the worst senior exec we've ever had, and given some of the numpties of late, that's quite an accolade.  False Narrative arsehole.

Convincing someone to pay you millions of pounds to job you can’t do is not the work of an idiot, in my view.

Well Sherwood managed it.

I hope that as well as sorting the playing side out, these two get the basic commercial stuff sorted out too. Yet again, the farce that is our stadium catering operation was in full effect in the Trinity today. No card payments, nowhere near enough staff and hot dogs selling out before half time...not that I would eat one but there were plenty of disappointed punters - and that’s before the equaliser!

If I had the money I'd buy them and run them in to the ground the shithouses.

£2bn wouldn’t go very far there.

Their first decision to retain Bruce was a big mistake. Not enthralled by their transfer policy either - looking very short termism again with reliance on loanees.

Well they didn’t really have much choice did they? There was no structure, beyond Bruce, in place and they had little time and FFP to contend with.

I disagree.

Bruceosauros was needed at the time to keep a bit of continuity.  He is now a dead man walking having served his purpose.

We need to utilize the loan market due to FFP.  Wolves played it perfectly last season as did Huddersfield the season before - It is where we are.

Big decision over next few days.

Ditching SB now would be statement of intent and let's be honest with these last few performances we are sliding down the league so don't think we have much to lose by letting him go.
