There's always two sides to every story remember.
Fair enough but I was really only just trying to make the point that non of us know the other 'half' to the story.
Common sense should tell us that there must be reasons that prevents him doing some of the stuff he wants - I guess many of them are because of the clubs financial position.
I can understand people having a pop at him for the things he has control of - team selection, tactics, substitutions, etc - but blaming him for everything and anything - without knowing the facts of the matter - is taking things a bit too far imo.
I can understand your point Sluff, but it should be his responsibility to have someone working for him that can tell him the loan rules. The Premier League and Championship loan rules won't allow us to loan this player - someone should've identified this very early on before the player ever got on the train to come up and train with the first team. Its a club gaff - so somewhere down the line the manager and Chairman or both have to take the rap as their at the top of the food chain.
