I fail to see what the fuss it about. Clearly there is an internal dispute at management and board level. When it is fully resolved the rest of us - that is the players and fans and media will find out. In the mean time, hold your breath.
Barmby made a stupid mistake and he's paying the price for it. I fail to see what the Allams have done wrong. If I was put in their position I would have done something very similar.
I work in the real world (like the Allams) not the silly football world.
If I put my managing director in a similar position, I would be out the door quicker than you can say 'childish naive idiot'.
Barmby has a lot to learn. When I heard his comments on the radio, I remember thinking tio myself - we'll he'll be in the **** if the board are listening to this.
It's all come home to roost.
