so not because...

his managerial record in the Championship was excellent then? I thought he should have gone earlier but I can appreciate that the counter argument (stability/his previous record) is a perfectly valid one.

Most of the points in that sh*t post (which you seem to admire) are rubbish. Points 1 and 2 were actually laughable. I always think it is funny how with (presumably) a straight face people can criticise the club for 1) not spending enough money and b) increasing the debt within teh same post. Surely the obvious reason is the one the club have put forward - the debt increased despite the Prem money because we were spending it all (and more).
