How bad do you have to be in football before you get a boot up the arse.It’s why I don’t like loaning players. In effect we gave our leading international class goal scorer for about 30 years a free transfer

The biggest, most frustrating, irony of the lot is that when we did have relatively big money to spend we gave it to the most myopic managers imaginable.

This is the root of my immense dislike of O'Neill, less to do with the way he left, that was just typical of the man and I was glad to see the back of him. It's the arrogantly short-sighted way he took advantage of Lerner's well-financed stupidity to piss away the family silver chasing 6th spot. That was the best chance we ever had of establishing ourselves as a CL level club. He blew it.
