are often his undoing... why would any manager worth his weight in salt make such a definitive statement before the season has even started... why would any manager who fashions himself an educated man make such pronouncements before even knowing what his starting 11 will
be come Friday, let alone on September 1st... why would any manager who has a tenuous relationship with a great many supporters offer up such a potentially contentious talking point considering how many times his own words have
come back to bite him in the ass... I think he does this because he doesn't care what you or I think, in fact he
's more than slightly infuriated by the very

been acceptable during his formative years in charge, when the fans

stories about who he could have signed but didn't and what can only
be construed as outright fabrications... it
