There is no doubt in my mind that the most disastrous decision we made
during the past
calendar year, up to and including the most eventful January transfer window in recent memory, was not the Sanchez debacle that saw him off to
Old Trafford, which will forever be considered a failure of epic proportions, or the selling off of Ox to Liverpool following a thrashing less than a fortnight earlier, or even the triangular clusterf * ck that saw Giroud head to our crosstown rivals in the 11th hour, but the re-upping of our manager after another tumultuous and cringe - worthy campaign both on and off the pitch.
