Well when it came to the January transfer window, Jokin wanted 5 players to strengthen an already paper-thin squad. He ended up losing 2 quality players and bring in 3 of dubious quality...an overall increase of 1, then.
This lot knew what was needed and they had a month to do it. They failed.
In any other job they would be out on their ears.
Still, at a spending rate of £5M per night.....at least the profit fat Ash pocketed from selling the family silver will give him a couple of nights in his beloved casino.

Derby Day
Today is local derby day....United versus the great unwashed, the village of the damned, Wearside.
Usually for these games, I'm excited for days beforehand - they are such momentous events, the biggest derby in the country, atmosphere with an electric charge, no quarter asked and none given. And normally we win them.
But today is different. Today United are in such a mess, such disarray, I fear the outcome. Useless owner, invisible chairman, clueless "manager" and a team - half of whom just want to leave.
These magnificent fans don't deserve to be in this situation.
