    I don't think people are upset by it. I think it's just funny that he went from deleting it to apologising, then saying it was a hacker and then straight up deleting everything.

    I think (bizarrely) some people are upset by it. People have said it affects our image as a Family Club, that he should be sacked for it, and that it somehow has an impact of is a reflection on his ability to do his job.

    He's done an absolutely bang average (at best) job since his been here, but this is an irrelevance, and no one will give a **** about it once something interesting actually happens, like us winning a game of football, or signing someone half decent.

    Can he really hold out in his position for that length of time, though?

    They seem to be, even somehow ending up at that the conclusion that there’s a link between the accidental post and the fact he’s rubbish at his job. He IS an old fool for not being more tech savvy and not taking time with his apology & he IS in need of some good signing and he has been very underwhelming as a DOF so far but the two are not related let’s be real here.

    Agree. Who cares about this? Just sack him for his poor core performance.

    It’s just quite funny really, I find the outrage about it being discussed really quite odd, do you really think it wouldn’t have been discussed? A bit like people getting annoyed about past players scoring for new clubs being mentioned. Just don’t go in the relevant threads if you’re so dead set against reading any sort of comment being made about it. It’s pretty obvious what this thread and those thread are going to contain, it’s like people go out of their way to get annoyed about stuff and completely miss the irony about how wound up they’re getting about it. It’s just bizarre to think it won’t be discussed, so just stay out of the thread if you don’t want to discuss it.

    It’s ironic how wound up you’re getting about people getting wound up. See how this works?

    Lucky boy. The last time we spent an evening apart due to my work commitments my wife sent me a picture of our dog's abscess with a note asking if I thought she should take her to the vet

    Anyone who doesn't think it's possible he could have posted that pic by accident has clearly never spent any time working in tech support.

    Said it in the interview thread and I will say it here, he’s got to go. Needs to be sacked with immediate effect.

    When I saw this thread had been updated, I was hoping to see he'd been sacked or at the very least another butterfly photo. This was very disappointing.

    He walked past me last night alongside someone I didn't recognise. I really wanted to tear into him over Mogi and others but he's like 9ft tall and we'd just won...so I gave him the thumbs up. FFS. It's like complimenting the chef after your cold soup had a fly in it.

    Graham Younger coming in as talent identification head. Had a terrible record at Doncaster. Great job in bringing him. Obviously Cristiano wants someone to look worse than him.

    I’m guessing he was the bloke signing our South American non-Bayat signings.

    Probably got bored of hearing that we can’t spend 8m on a rapid, skilful Brazilian because Bayat had a player for us who scored 2 goals in 24 games in the Belgium league
