doesn't change the fact that he's the manager who decided to play the youngsters. they could have easily turned out crap or get moved on. he is a bit of an idiot, but he makes a good point here. what the hell are hull expecting? over-ambitious just like newcastle were/are and their manager sackings landed them in the championship.
