Extraordinary world of football again - £3m in your sky rocket for being sacked on the grounds of woeful performance and then you have a few months off, feel refreshed, go round Germany, come back boast about it, have a few sly digs in the press about your former employers, just about keeping within the bounds of the confidentiality clauses, then rock up get another job at a Championship club and the wheel starts turning again.

And then said person wonders why we get angry about him saying things like us having unrealistic expectations.

I feel "a bit" sorry for Faulkner in all this. He was mostly hopeless, but didn't earn that much. He then sees his replacement earn 10 times as much while buggering things up on a scale previously only dreamed of.

Sounds frightening. Is this all a strong argument that 'austerity' doesn't work?

So, in proper footballing terms, we're paying Tom Fox £25k per week? I'll bet that's more than we're receiving in the shirt deal he keeps wanking on about. Is there any other industry where such a lack of talent is so well rewarded?

This "Unspecified Director" character is raking it in. And does he/she not have a conflict of interest working for all of these different clubs?

On the positive side we could have had two Bradys for the cost of one Fox.

We need to hire him because he's doing a pretty solid job, with the exception of the 'codes.

Top 6 money again being paid out for a complete twat. On the pitch, off the pitch, everywhere. Is there anywhere Lerner doesn't throw money away with over priced, stupid decisions? A fool and his money indeed.

We are in a right old mess. There's going to be a huge fire sale and cheapo replacement plan this summer isn't there.

At least it should put paid to the idea that lerner is somehow bleeding the club dry. He's merely killing the club through incompetence.

He hasn't learnt a single lesson in nearly 10 years.

Don't forget his Browns disasters prior to that.

He's paying for being a terrible businessman.
