Yeah maybe "it all falls apart was an exaggeration". You're right that we're now a serious business in terms of commercial revenue behind the scenes and I'm sure if Khaldoon decided to go then we'd be inundated with some really top candidates realistically, from way outside the world of...

My point is that many underestimate who Khaldoon actually is. He's more powerful than Sheikh Mansour in real terms. If we were to put it into Godfather film terms, he's Tom Hagen. He is not Corleone blood but he is the man trained from birth and grew up as part of the family. He is friends...

He's Pellegrini. He's a good manager and could pop off. But realistically, he's the man before the man imo. And he knows that, he gets to repair a slightly tarnished reputation in a comfortable environment. Win a few trophies and get a big job in Italy. The man, imo, is Luis Enrique not...

Nobody is the greatest manager in the history of the game. That cannot be the standard. It's not fair

The guy hasn't even been appointed yet, let alone took a training session, let alone played a friendly, let alone played a competitive game, and some of you lot are already sacking him. Take a fucking look at yourselves, on today of all days.
