Don't feel sorry for Souness, for God's sake, this is at least partly his fault.
Oh, and he won't resign, because that would mean know pay-off. He's going to be handsomely rewarded for his part in wrecking our club.

Souness is a highly mediocre manager and he has to take a share of the blame for the mess we're in, especially for the way his shambolic man-management destroys the value of the players he falls out with. But the truth is that he, too, is a victim of the fat clown's false promises, incompetence and unprofessionalism. It's obvious that Souness told FFS who he wanted back in January (Boa Morte) or at the end of last season and yet he is (deliberately) not backing his manager, like he did with Robson last year. I'm convinced that not even Souness would have agreed to sell so many players at the start of the summer if he hadn't been promised sufficient funds for replacements. If we don't get anyone in before the end of the month, which is looking increasingly likely, it will be because FFS failed to do his job and not because Souness is happy with the squad he's got. We will then lose most of our early season games and FFS will succumb to public pressure and once again sack the manager, before finally choosing a successor from his "No foreigners!" shortlist.
We can do better than Souness, but the problems won't go away as long as that fat wanker is in charge. What manager would want to work for a club where he is told by the chairman who he should buy and where the chairman refuses to come up with the money for the players the manager has targeted? Souness has probably worked hard and done well to persuade Luque to join us, but there's not much he can do if FFS refuses to do his job and agree a deal with the player's club. I'm sick of him.
