Those behaviours are exactly the same as those that reportedly saw his tenure terminated here. He does seem to be an extremely arrogant and rather strange man who has very little in the way of interpersonal skills. There's a lot more to managing people than having a "philosophy".

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

"The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum)

I was told by someone that it all began in a lap-dancing club in Detroit.
SP and FdB were celebrating the signing of a managerial contract. All expenses were to be put on the 'Palace Tab', and were agreed in advance.

After initially providing details of the girls FdB wanted to dance with, he started to exhibit signs of intoxication.
"Oh No!", thinks SP,.."Not a Burley situation again!!"

FdB starts racking up costs with multiple dancers, and playing them completely out of position. He then embarrasses the girls by showing how much better a player he is, than them
SP calls his new bestest-mate DF to ask for guidance.
"Ya dunna giv' the money, when he dunna how to spend it right. Feck him off, and I'll give yer sum tips in the marnin'"
An unseemly fracas breaks out in the club, and FdB is last seen being hurled out of the rear doors of the club, onto the pavement.

I disengage, I turn the page.

That's what fans of other clubs will think looking in without looking at the top other stuff and none of the contradictions Frank said and implemented, or tried to without the ability.

Here is another viewpoint from outside the fan base

Actually he is doing it all himself, I acknowledge that he with other saved us in 2010 for which I'm grateful but that is the past and since we have been in the PL, this time, I'm afraid he has not covered himself in glory and is quickly making the club unattractive to both players and quality managers, we are fortunate to have Roy even if he is 70+, but you cannot deny we are in this position due to the poor decision of SP!

I appreciate your views and respect them. However as far as I'm concerned the bad decisions are in the main SP making for example he has meddled in team affairs by telling managers how to play, some of the transfer decisions were his and were bad from day one Sako is a good example he had a doggy medical history before Wolves as well at Wolves and yet he signed him and he has hardly played since he arrived. The same can be said of Tomkins and Wickham, they had a history of injury problems and can hardly string more than one or two games in succession without then spending most of the season in the sick bay. Then there is the succession of managers, which is sadly affecting the teams performance and stability, the abysmal home record of just 26 wins from 78 homes games in PL is another example and since you mentioned the Americans, who brokered the deal with them SP of course! all I want is for our team to be better tomorrow and thereafter than it has been in the past, so please don't shoot the messenger!
