I wonder what is really happening behind the scenes at the swamp. Maureen is patently unhappy, and has been since went there. He constantly looks as if he's sick to death of the whole thing and wants out. He's surly and uncommunicative, shows nothing but scarcely-concealed hostility to everyone around him - even his own staff. It seems as though the players don't want to play for him anymore, probably for fear of being thrown under the bus at any particular time, and the plastic fans seem to have decided enough is enough and want him out.
Somewhere along the line, between the Chavs, going to Spain, and then back to the Chavs again, something has happened: he's just not the same man as he was. Or perhaps it wasn't just the one thing, maybe it was an accumulation of many many different things that have (seemingly) pushed him to the brink of despair.
It wouldn't be financial problems that are playing on his mind, I wouldn't have thought, so perhaps it's a family issue: something to do with him still living in a hotel in Manchester while his family are all back in London?
One thing's for certain, the swamp is not a happy camp at this moment in time...
