So can anyone explain why the players signed by the board, (Baba, Papy, Hector) are no longer at the club? To suggest these players were used to manoeuvre the previous manager away from the club must of course be ridiculous.

That reminds me, how long did Sidwell, Pizarro and Tal Ben Haim last once the board had made their next appointment?

Of course, I'm sure I'm wrong.
