Fair enough - mike ashley sacks big sam because he wants to see 'y football'...?

Mike Ashley's habit of sitting in the stands during matches was meant to mean that he's in touch with the fans , but i dont think its a good idea to be so in touch. When our team does crap, we complain and whinge about it...thats what fans do and we're entitled to it. But the owners and directors are meant to look at things in the longer terms, and be more detached than the fans. It seems to me that he's trying to do whatever to takes to be a friend of the fans...even considering alan shearer ,who has no experience in a management/coaching position.
