He must be. How else can you explain even more money being given to Gale to squander.
Oh yes, good news - Gale is going to sign some more players to get us out of this mess - see todays News
Despite having hundreds come through the club over the past 5 years and over 30 this season all ready, the solution to our problem is 'we need more players'.
Not any old players though, no we need 'experienced players'. So forgetting he has made it his personal mission to fall out with every previous experinece player we employed he now wants another go.
Don't forget that only a month ago we stretched the budget further to get three more in, none of which obviously filled the massive holes we have and have had all season - namely a proven goalscorer at this level and an experienced centre midfield player who can dictate play.
However experienced players quickly have a view and turn into wrigglers so look out for more of them appearing at WLP shortly.
I think the Board are now embarrassed that they have not sacked the manager. They have allowed all the easy games to pass us by and we are even further down the league. They thought it couldn't get worse, they thought there was no way we could go down. Now - panic. As Mark said - this is the worst team we have ever had. The only solution left they can see (as oppose to the blindingly obvious one) is to chuck even more money at it - rather like the season after the cup run.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
