I think perhaps he is as far as our stability is concerned, but lately I've heard him roll out the same lines as many others about the inevitability of VvD going to Liverpool etc. At the weekend he said something about Pellegrino being "Puel in disguise" because we'd failed to score.
A friend of mine knew him when he first got into the first team under Burley, she said he was an arrogant so and so even then. Can't imagine the intervening years of all that money and attention have mellowed him much. Could be wrong, of course.
