Well I have seriously thought from day 1 that the whole Mittal's taking over and Briatore selling his shares was more of a cover up than anything.
Whilst it's quite obvious that Amit has come to the front and is the new face of the big cheese's, I still think and am convinced that Flavio is still having a bigger say than we all expect.
Reason being is that, 2 parts of flav's reign were:
1) Unbelievable arrogance, boutique, chandelliers, C club and all that stuff
2) MONEY: The lack of investement in the squad and signing of free transfers and on the cheap.
Part 1 is not pushed anymore with Amit trying to get back in touch with the standard paying fan like ourselves.
Part 2 is still very much evident.
People will say, well how come Warnock has brought in who HE wants, I mean Kenny, Hill and Derry all played in the past and are clearly his signings.
But it just seems like he's been told something like
"Ok Neil, well we have got the fans on our side now as it looks like Flav is no longer running the show, but in reality he is. We arent going to spend much, as Flavio refusses to, so in order to keep up the pretence that he's not in charge etc; we will let you sign your players, BUT.... only ones who are out of contract or very very cheap, with the exception of Kenny, who then looks like a BIG signing"
Warnock has always used youth and bought in Free transfers, so he's not bothered, Flav is happy because no money is being spent, and we are supposedly happy because it looks like we have a manager buying who HE wants, not Flavs/Paladini's choices!!
Otherwise Neils real targets would be here.... Taarabt, Beattie, Hooper, Mcanuff, Ambrose... all cost doe, which he cant spend!!
Flav is more involved than we think....
