Was that his very first interview, where he said the premier league should have 14 clubs and no relegation?peoffrey said:His defence of Thaksin Shinawatra was his funniest gaffe, IMHO.
"Is he a nice guy? Yes. Is he a great guy to play golf with? Yes. Has he got the finances to run a club? Yes. I really care about those three things."
He later had to admit he hadn't done his research on him! Clown.
Given the state of the club's finances at the time and some of the big contracts players were on, id call that more of his genius. Relegation would have been catastrophic.
