I’m not trying to defend him but if posters are going to quote him at least do it accurately. Taken from the BBC:
“I’m disappointed in my approach and the way it has been taken by the fans.”
The key thing for me there is ‘disappointed in my approach’.
Don’t believe one word of it. Still not accepting responsibility – in the line you use Deereyme66 the phrase “….the way it has been taken by the fans” says it all. Still the fans fault.
From his 1st fans forum he has created a wall between club and fans. And carried this on for 8yrs ! Suddenly in a heartbeat a total acceptance his fault because the fans didn’t get it !!
And it coincides with the culmination of several years of his recruitment policy delivering a BOTTOM of the table team.
