He's the only one out of the lot of them who knew how to do things properly .
Great with his official buisness and at the same time brilliant at engaging fans, I can't remember one problem like this when he was here . I also liked the way he used to walk in the concourses and talk to fans before games . Top bloke .

If it will can somebody please explain how?
It basically says solskjaer has done a good job signing aload of players cheaply. Not going to pressure anybody is it.
An it says malky wasted loads of cash on a player who no longer plays for us and we made a loss on him. How's that going to affect the players.
Nobody wants to play in red we all want blue and our badge back, but some of you need to stop blaming tan for everything. Your just making yourselves look like idiots and other clubs are probably laughing at us even more for bitching and crying over everything that happens.
Hull get praised we just look like a bunch of cry baby sissys.

Simon Limp - Chief Chocolate Teapot.

Malky and Moody were either stupid or conned over the Cornelius deal. Someone somewhere has made a financial killing over it, and taken money from the club. No wonder Mr Tan was pissed off over it, I'm pissed off over it! We could have used that £8.5 million for a couple of decent players for now rather than the future.
Any pay out due to Malky should be set against a percentage of the £8.5m he cost the club.

Yes it was a judgement call by the manager and a poor one at that, HOWEVER, it's a managers job to nag and cajole the chairman into spending more and more money, into buying bigger and better players, into purchasing better facilities for those players and staff and ,if he felt he could get away with it, into getting gold plated bog roll holders in the training ground changing rooms! It's the RESPONSIBILITY of the chairman/ chief exec and subsequently the board, to reign in managers expectations for the financial good of the club and balance everything up...
I'm sorry , but this whole situation is the fault of Lim, the board and ultimately TAN

Of course it's a pop at malky. I don't see what the problem with that is though.
He spent a lot of money on players who were not good enough.
An I agree on not judging Ole to the end of the season he hasn't done anything yet.
The statement won't have any effect at all on what happens on this pitch.

We wouldn't have known would we?
In the same way as a manager takes ultimate responsibility for a shit team performance then the bloke who signs off ridiculous contracts like acorns should man up and hold his hands up rather than hang out to dry the next bloke down the chain of command.... Can't have it both ways
