Everything seemed rosey, 5 years later we have the worst squad since I can remember with average players, we have bought badly not cheaply because we have spent money on Carzola and on Podolski and Giroud. I think our scouting network is 10 years backwards and that needs to be overhauled. A club like Arsenal should bre ahead of Newcastles scouting or Swansea's, no disrepect to the clubs mentioned. It just seems that ******* wants to do manage everything from being the tea lady, the coach driver and the financial director of the club. ******* should not renew his contract, let him see out the season as there is no way he'll walk and no chance of the board sacking him as he makes far too much money. Would be like selling your top saleman to a competitor. Anyway shit day but exepcted, as long as ******* is Le Boss it will get worse before it gets better.
