Andy lives up to the Yorkshire stereotype. A Yorkshireman is never wrong.
Of course you get it wrong Andy. All managers buy a few princess and usually a few more dogs. Impossible to not buy dogs at this level and without a top budget.
To be fair to him, I don’t often think it’s a case of digging his heels in and going all out with the “I’m not wrong”. I think it’s more likely that he’s trying to walk a difficult line between having a shit budget and not slagging the owners off for giving him a shit budget, knowing how rough things have been behind the scenes and what it has taken to get this far, and hoping supporters temper their expectations a little bit and recognise that we’ve probably over-achieved.
