Because you look at, you probably think it's Man City, it's a level playing field and all of a sudden they go, right, there's Semenyuk.

And well, Gay, he looks like that's going to get across the line as well soon.

So it makes it a lot more difficult for them.

The other thing with him, though, we've seen plenty of managers over the last month

do their interviews at press conferences and it's sending a message upstairs.

By all accounts, and you know how this club works and you know him, he may have a director of football and so on and so forth, but he has the keys to this club.

He runs this.

Yeah, I think for what he's done since he's come in and changed the football club from where it was at to where it is now.

You know, there's been Champions League football here, obviously Europa League now, but, you know, he has changed the club and that's been through himself and obviously, you know, sporting directors and the owners and whatnot, but he's the one that's really got the keys and he's got the final say-so to Greenlight, whatever it has been.

So, you know, it's...

If he's leaving himself short, you'd think, why have you done that?

Or is there something, like you say, underlining where they're not able to go out and get players because of certain rules that are in place?

Like you say, it was a weird interview.

Of course, he's now showing his frustration.

It's January, so maybe it's him turning around and saying, look at what I'm dealing with.

Look what I've been left with.

I need help.

I need players.

We're seeing some astonishing interviews from players, from managers, I mean, if you think about it, with Amorim, Maresca, even Glasner yesterday, the way that he's speaking about, you know, and there's always messages in what they're trying to say.

And it was an unusual one today because I thought he could have just said, OK, didn't do the business today, didn't get the win, didn't perform, we go for next week.
