Weeks ago Fernandes was saying there wouldnt be money to spend this time, but even yesterday fans were saying "nah, he is bluffing". Some of us have been saying for a long time now that the board had clearly had enough of chucking good money after bad. But he was actually true to his word.
Im as disappointed as anyone we didnt sack harry and bring in pullis. If harry were a young progressive manager building for the future it might have been different. But keeping harry for half a season more is every bit as short term as it wd have been to bring in pullis. The most likely explanation is the board knew it wd cost a fortune, both in paying off the ridiculously bloated and ineffective coaching staff and buying the players a new manager wd demand.
But I cant honestly blame the board for refusing to give Harry more money to waste. We now just have to sit tight and see, no point moaning any more. Ings clearly wants out of Burnley, Leicester worse than us imho, and Hull should be a bit better but are really struggling. Villa I think are too good and always seem to do just enough but havent scored in five games so must at least be a bit worried. So lets just see how it plays out and if we do go down let us just hope we go about it properly next time.
