During a chat about The Super League on talkSPORT, the former QPR and Blackpool boss brought up the recent passing of recently deceased monarch Prince Phillip.
"I don’t know about you," he began, "but I spent time watching Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh's funeral on the weekend and for the first time in a long time I was really proud of being British.
"This morning, that’s just gone away. That man was so selfless in his life and I wanted us to come out of his pandemic caring about other people more than ourselves, and the opposite is happening. "I am totally outraged and absolutely disgusted in how selfish some people can be. The game belongs to supporters, not them and I have never seen anything like it. "I’ve written down some things saying, 'Who is actually in charge?’ That’s the worrying thing for me. The Government could have taken over this and now they’re not and we might lose football.

It’s not strong enough – they should be relieved of their positions and stripped of their clubs."The passing of Prince Phillip, at the grand old age of 99, caused a period of reflection and introspection for many across the UK. We are not entirely sure if the avid cricketer and polo player would have lost much sleep over rich football clubs trying to get even richer, though.
