I reckon it seriously hurt his negotiating position with the rags, hence why he hasn't been able to bring in any Mendes players. It seemed to me like he'd been given a list of things he can and can't do in order to take over there, including not getting back in bed with Mendes and keeping certain potato shaped footballers as key players. He doesn't look like he has full control there at all and I'd be surprised if the fallout over his last season at Chelsea wasn't the main reason for thatShe turned down £1.2m from Chelsea before going to a tribunal, I'd guess it was substantially more than that, whether it came out of Maureen's pocket? Might have been something in his severance package relating to it.
