We don't settle for mediocrity. Gombau WAS treated with respect. He had quite a few quiet words in his ear of what was expected. Remember, when he was signed and he was asked about the squad, he said he had a squad to challenge for the title. Once it started to unravel he began blaming the squad.
And yes, a manager who is looking forward to the RBB!!!! 
Genuinely excited about the upcoming season now. More than I have been for a while.
