Maybe just maybe! he wanted to give his signings a chance to prove they could do better than a 41 year old, but deep down HE also knew they couldn't cut the mustard.

Give the man a break, FFS
Give him a break. You have got to be joking m8. He showed a total contempt for our support and any of the players who dared doubt his management. Are you trying to tell me he could not have made himself available even as a substitute in our clubs greatest time of need . Wise up, they are welcome to the arrogant b.
Listen son, contempt for the support-ok maybe he never ass licked to the crowd like some managers but contempt, no.
The players, I'll give you two examples
1- Wilson, a lot of s*** has been spoken about him and Brew, the bottom line is Barry Wilson has stated on record he was greatful for what CB did to prolong his career.
2- Black, nobody and I've said it before rates Black higher than CB, just remember Black was a headless chicken and a liability for a couple of years he'll admit it himself in a few years time i'm sure but Black at the start of this year was playing with a maturity that was new and it's not coincidence that it was down to the talkings he'd had from the management.
Bottom line- 3 very passionate footballers=conflict at times but the first two points are fact!
2nd Bottom line, I am not and am very unlikely to be your MATE
