Anger (at the) management

And still the flak directed at Jabba refuses to die down. The most recent batch of critics includes:

- one former manager who, like the ousted Chris Hughton, was himself treated shabbily by our esteemed owner: "The club can never go anywhere under Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias - it can't go anywhere, I promise you that."

- one preening gobshite midfielder, surprising everyone by talking some sense: "The statement which said the board were looking for 'an individual with more management experience' ... made it sound like Guus Hiuddink was on his way. Instead they brought in a guy who has spent only one full season in the Premier League. Pardew is a good manager but Ashley has made hiring him look like a sideways or backwards step".

Not sure who "Guus Hiuddink" is, mind.
