No, it's not you. They are utter, UTTER tossers. Briatori makes Abramovic look like a veritable Saintly, hands-off owner.

That doesn't begin to describe them! I'd forgotten how many managers they got through.

thanks for a minute I thought I was totally pissed. At least after having a few I still know a tosser when I see one especially at QPR.

Would love a documentary around the Wilkins / Adams / Slade / Poyet merry go round!

To me, Amit has a really good heart, and real passion. Briatore, clearly, was the problem.

Very disappointed. Doesn't give much insight at all, hardly any depth.

Amit Bhatia who comes across as the best thing since sliced bread in the documentary owns the production company who made the movie.
That doesn't surprise me at all. I was thinking, he's come out of this looking so much better than everyone else, something's got to be up.

That being said, compared to the nutter who is Flavio Briatore, he is the best thing sine sliced bread!

That was dynamite stuff.
Sousa was a complete sap, that first introduction to the team was toe-curling. "I expect hard work, but most of all I expect LOYALTY from everyone". What a load of meaningless guff.
And could you imagine Warnock being told to put another striker on by the owner ? Or being hauled upstairs to justify his selections and formations ? The interference was outrageous, and Sousa came across as being very weak.
The other bit that made me laugh was the complete lack of self-awareness of Briatore and that other italian when they're discussing who to bring in after the latest sacking. "Idiots, we keep beinging in idiots. It seems idiots are attracted here...." *shakeshead*
I hope Gus watched that, it'd drive home just how good he has it at the Albion.

I kept thinking was a fool and his money are easily parted. How these Italians actually ever made any is amazing. They were/are clueless.
Even with Warnock, having them sitting clear at the top they still complained as soon as they lost a game.
It showed them all in a really poor light. The contempt shown to the fans brought home how lucky we truly are.

"You have paid £10, we have paid £35 million, what right do you have to criticise ? Tell me who it is who is booing me, I want their names"
UNbelievable.

Another nugget from Briatore, with QPR requiring one point from two games to secure the title:
"All this and now he doesn't want to win. He hasn't got a clue. He's an idiot."
What a genius. And the board meetings? They're sitting there, having bought a succession of managers out of their contracts at their clubs and then, presumably, paying them off when they fired them shortly afterwards, they then sat and worked out how much money they could save by cutting out flowers in the hospitality suites. Brilliant.
Having said that, I thought the Mittal family came out of it looking much less bad. They at least spoke to the fans respectfully, and had a pop at that nutcase Chairman for his constant berating of the players.
But overall, a shambles - you've got to wonder how familiar this picture looked to other clubs watching this film too.
