Certainly wild when we found out yes... not overly shocking though. Defensive players often turn into attacking managers. I guess knowing how defenders think and behave is rather useful when you're attacking them. All in all, I've seen nearly as many people understanding Roberts (and in a way...

Bringing Roberts to Chelsea actually perhaps wasn't the most graceful or honorable treatment of the club, but it was the only humane way to treat Ben. Have to be a pretty sick person to say "I'm securing the future of the families of all these coaches, but you Ben will be staying here the rest...

Nopes. Reappointing someone who left for a bigger club is never going to look more silly than reappointing the lad you let go three weeks ago after he spent several months moaning about the club and letting everyone know he's not very motivated to work for us. NOTHING would be more tinpot.

Not that its happening in a million years, but in the hypothetical scenario... it would probably be the most tinpot, pathetic and embarrassing move by a PL club ever (unless someone else definitely-not-sacked their manager and then reappointed him 3 weeks later, but I don't think thats ever...

Given what people here has said about RDZs housing situation I think its possible to assume the whole lot came here thinking "we'll do 2-3 years and leave for 5x higher wages somewhere as soon as we can". Which was always the most likely outcome, and still is (though it might be something like...
