    Having to do Ehab Allam's and James Mooney's jobs as well as his own.

    Yet again he has to be the voice of the club about ticket sales (or lack of).

    How has it come to this?

    Tinpot is the word.

    That there's tickets available and though he understands some can't afford it, those who can should turn out and support the team, as these sorts of days don't come along very often.

    I wonder if the Allams ever think, "**** me, what an earth have we done here, to piss so many people off, so much they don't even want to go to wembley to see us in another final?"

    It really shouldn't have come about if he had done his job properly.

    Why would you even think that such pig ignorant, arrogant ****s would contemplate such a thought? No-one tells them how to run their business, they're never wrong.

    I'd expect there'll be a lot of boos from the City end if he is there, & we see him on the big screen. Particularly if we're losing.

    I doubt it....

    But they presumably think that it's a manager's job to drum up support and encourage people to buy tickets.
    Coming soon: Mike Phelan selling programmes
    When Steve Bruce's autobiog comes out, he'll have a chapter 'To Hull and Back' where he will recount some of these bizarre episodes and reveal the non existent off the field management from above.

    What a ****ing joke, and I mean practically everything associated with our club right now. Amateur hour doesn't even start to cover it.
