I may have said it above, but MAYBE we are better off without him in the long term. we have depended on him far too much, and as a result not worked as a team. Now maybe we can play as a team a bit more.
However, Id far prefer if we had a manager who had the managerial acumen to be able to use such a good player as Ollie properly. But then thats just wishful thinking isnt it?
