Every single that has been mentioned in this thread, across the whole damn wall. On a serious note, I do wonder: is the Swiss getting footballing advice from the right people? Obviously he's a great businessman and good guy but unless he knows what the fans are thinking already, then he needs someone to tell him. Otherwise he could end up feeling shocked when Tony Adams gets booed on his unveiling press conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
