In which case, it's even more ridiculous. Pelchen came in to set our disastrous list management in order, especially our salary cap. That is never a job for a fun nice guy. People brought in to do that kind of thing in any organisation are often called "Dr Death", because they make the hard decisions nobody else wants to make. Damn right you need an ego. You need guts as hard as rock.
P66 criticising someone about ego, there's a laugh. I suspect what really is behind this is Pelchen citing a conversation with Yabba as his reason for coming to help us. Plugger can't stand the idea that somebody had a friendship with a club legend other than himself.
