I thought Olly was the single most inept manager the rags had ever had, but this fraud is truly something else.
On paper he has a few decent players, not great, but adequate for a mid-table side. In theory the players should all be on the same page, working together as one. There should be an obvious game plan and there should be tactics that are drilled into the players' heads whilst on the training ground. So why aren't there?
If (as Ten-Bob likes to boast) he is good enough for the Premier league why are we not seeing evidence of it?
Why, despite the continued extravagance of throwing money around each time the transfer window creaks open, is it not being reflected on the pitch?
And why, even with the overtly conspicuous assistance of Howard Webb and his cronies aiding and assisting them at every step of the way, are they still mid-table fodder glancing nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone?
According to Ten-Bob everything is as it should be: no problems with the board, no dissent within the playing ranks, everyone singing from the same sheet, etc. If this is the case why does whatever has been discussed in the changing room magically disappear by the time the players walk onto the pitch? Because by kick-off they are playing like strangers who have only just met one another. They seem to have no idea what is expected of them, so they are playing with a pretend confidence that they hope will get them through to full-time. Eleven actors on a stage without a script or any idea what play they should be performing.
Laughable.
