The situation with managers spending the owners money is not surprising as instead of coaching the players they bought, they just wanted to buy their way out of problems instead of improving what they had already bought. As far as the old farts at the F A it was refreshing to hear from someone who ruffled a lot of feathers.

It amounts to me not being able to say a referee is incompetent while others can, using the same language." [20] Jordan, Simon (5 March 2006).

Retrieved 23 October 2013.The time to quit was when he did his job last season. He was getting a large amount of personal abuse and he got Newcastle to 12th in the Premier League.
