Yeah come on this isn't a one off, he's constantly doing this and answering supposed questions.
Personally don't think he's focussed enough on the job he needs to be doing, which is managing players, not player negotiations/other clubs finances/disciplinary records etc....
From his comments about us and what we do and don't need, seems to me he's not been watching or focussing on his own team/squad anywhere near enough. The lack of signings when pre-season has already started is just another indicator.
To other clubs he's probably like that irritating neighbour that sticks his nose in where it's not wanted (and when it doesn't directly involve him), the guy who complains about everything, sure he might have a point occasionally but not all the time.
