That said, I fully expect us to roll over - the Management of the club has been shockingly amateurish and out of touch with changes in the modern game since David Dein left. If they were half as effective on growing the playing side as they were when they collectively (and I include Dein in this) pocketed $800m dollars from the Club without risking a penny of their own money, we'd be world beaters.
Unfortunately we don't have Dein and until we replace him, it won't be in either the supporters' or owners' best interest to let him rot.
