I still don't know why people get so worked up about the mags obsession with their manager. I couldn't care less.
 
How do we think this place would look if the transfer dealings to get promoted and maintain premier league status were showing a loss?
Speculation of course but I think Benitez would be getting mocked for ridiculous spending and "Only getting 10th" with no blame on Ashley, but the transfer dealings showing a profit and it's well done Ashley.

You could argue both statements are correct, but the 2nd is probably nearer the truth.
