Yes I was being a bit flippant

He’s obviously very successful and that usually means smart and ruthless. Which would be very useful qualities to have.

However … football is a completely new thing for him. It’s a far more complex game than he’s used to, and can be played in a hundred ways. Success at a club depends on so many intangibles and also needs luck. It’s going to take some time before he can get his head round this new, relatively minor bit of his empire.
