At the start of the decline, he could have walked and commanded a job anywhere in football. His stock was immense. Now he is widely regarded (often by idiots who've achieved little) as a figure of fun.
It is bizarre and incomprehensible. Either he isn't good enough, or he isn't ambitious enough and is prepared to do whatever a parsimonious Board wants all the while deceiving fans and insulting intelligence.
Either way, I want him to go.
