Think it rare for a manager to have his own squad with the way most clubs are run these days. However the team that run's out onto the pitch tommorrow night will be his.
Wasn't he over hyped by the club when he came here, a class above, next Robben, world beater etc. Hard to live up to the kind of fanfare comming out of what was the sms circus.
To me selling to and then continuing to develop a player FOR another team is business not football. It might be good for his development but he will go from saints prodagee to loanee doing a stint at a lesser club. Takes the glory out of it for me.
