Oversee 10 years of premier league football, European football, and the best teams we have had for decades… other than that he was shit. I really enjoy the championship. If Scholes is to take the plaudits for our 10 years in Premier League dreamland, and I think he should, then he also has to take the rap for our subsequent demise. You can't have it both ways.

I agree the buck stops with the CEO. Also, the players we brought in up to and including the three 9th place finishes were due in no small measure to the European contacts Mark Hughes had developed over the years. I also suspect there was no love lost between Scholes and Hughes in the end, which could explain why Hughes lost interest, or maybe his source of players dried up. We may never know. There’s been a long standing debate concerning how much influence Scholes had on the recruiting side of the business. However, it does appear that we were able to shift some high earners this January and bring in some replacements that appear very promising. And there’s still a week to go. We’ll also never know how much of the ground work Scholes did before he left. However, Gerhard’s comments regarding how he appreciated O’Neil’s approach to handling young players suggests he dealt directly with the manager in that case.

I bet it was like that bat shit crazy Zoom call we all got on during peak covid where we had the triplicate of SJ, MON and Scholesy wide cracking their way through the whole thing.
Managed to get through the entire zoom call with no one even once mentioning the fact that the whole thing had turned to shit on the pitch!
