anyone else feel a tad sorry for him.
Barring one or two players it's a fairly average team that has been playing well over what it should be which IMO is massively down to MON (while Gerard is a better manager than him he isn't the type of motivator he is he's more about tactics and technical stuff.) so he has to hit higher standards than that team is probably capable of achieving.
He won't be given money to spend in the summer except anything he sells and even then he won't get all of it then.
I think he is fighting a losing battle and it's a little hard to watch it happening to him. It's a bit like watching Benitez at inter or Sammy at Bolton.
