I know I didn,t want a Yes or a "on message" manager so I,m ok with this manager from that perspective alas certain results and performances aside. The truth hurts but it,s reality and untill the board deliver we will continue to pretend we are something we are clearly not in that respect.
So we can either go back to managers who do as they are told and keep the fans in the dark or except who we really are and try to break the glass ceiling by pushing the club owners to be something more than rearranging furniture in the front room twice a year.
It's not either/or. He can demand cash for the squad and keep his trap shut over what status he thinks this club has vis-a-vis others. He just chooses not to and that is a massive problem.
As said, he has a choice: stfu about how lowly we are in his obvious mental pecking order and get on with improving us, or open his massive grid again and again and be despised, and then we have disunity that no positive development can emerge from.
"Koeman is Koeman...he does what he wants". FFS. Has there ever been a more numb nuts attitude from an owner about the man they employ as manager? He sounds like that friggin beaut at Wimbledon a few years ago, Sam Hammam.
