It's not losses, it's cash flow. He'll probably pay himself back once the matches catch up.

Agree, makes him look lovely in the mean time though.

He seems a bit of a cunt if he perceives someone has crossed him.

Surprised Jed isn't propping up a flyover

He's a ruthless cunt and I love him for it.

You guys seen Neville's article about DoFs: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/11366206/Gary-Neville-The-era-of-the-gaffer-is-over.html

With Power essentially DoF as well as Chairman it does mean we have a more sustainable (as foreseeable as it is possible in football) setup football-wise as any time in the modern era

Bit of bollocks though innit....almost like Gary Neville has noticed something so the rest of us have to listen to his opinion.

Reading stuck Nicky Hammond in as DoF in about 2003....he's still there, when they were going well, his stock was high....now their fans want him out.

Back in  2007, it was rumoured that Wenger wanted him at Arsenal....as they operate this sort of system.

Wenger has near autonomy of signings I thought?

David Dein, was the departing incumbent when Hammond was being mentioned....some say Arsenal haven't been as good without him.

Well it's sport, nothing works perfectly endlessly. Swansea a good example of managers/coaches being hired because they fit with the philosophy of the clubs hierarchy in comparison
