Annis I don't know if I can compare it to a circus as I used to enjoy the circus and the clowns used to make me laugh. There's nothing funny or enjoyable about the clowns who now run our club.

I'm guessing he isn't brought in for his footballing knowledge in fairness. Dalman is the chairman so I guess this guy is looking at other areas.

This club doesn't appoint ANYBODY for their football knowledge.
