How do you know we wanted Duffy as manager?

Looking at what Munby said about the interview process, seems as it was pretty rigorous, to say the least.

And before people start bleating on about 'it's not the interviews that are importnant, it's how they are on the pitch' - of course they know that. If they appointed on that basis, I could have been coached into giving a great interview and presumably got the job.

Now i'm not singling you out on this next point - but while i'm thinking about it - I hate the way people naturally assume the board are f**kups, incompetent, and havent got a clue, and are trying to ruin the club.

It's so easy to be the billy big bollocks on here and post scatter gun opinion on everything from land acquisition, tactics, interview technique, administering a football club, without fear of any comeback whatsoever (bar a pantsbot attack of course) - but if we were face with those actual decision, 99% of the whingers on here would not have a f**king clue where to start. And so, i'm not a Board apologist, i'm a realist.

Phew...
