It is pretty staggeringly incompetent to have bought the team of individuals we have at still one of the most expensive budgets in the league and be potentially bottom six on Saturday and five points behind a club under a transfer embargo that boasts Gary Gardner as their lynchpin midfielder.
probably fuck you?

Exactly. He didn't achieve what he should have with the resources at his disposal, but some of the posts on here about him are ridiculous. Hysterical even.
I was semi joking - but I honestly think he was set on being bloody minded because of a series of unfortunate events entirely of his own making - starting with the owners refusing to bring Terry back as a player on 60k a week, the Spanish goalkeeper, who clearly wasn't a player he wanted ( although he was probably right on that one) the left back who slipped through his fingers would also have irked, and then we had Nyland pulled from the heavens followed by two unnecessary and hugely expensive wingers being brought in and he strange exits of a competent keeper middling senior centre back , RDL etc. To compound his misery, he then failed twice to sign a real centre back, knowing weeks before that it was a crucial transfer that had to happen, before landing Abraham - again a rare good move. a total clusterfuck that sadly Dean Smith will pay for .
