Charlie Manuel is the Phillies version of Rich Kotite.
They were afraid of hiring Leyland because they didn't want someone to actually, you know, call out Wade, Montgomery, and the rest of the ownership on their absolute shit job they have done.
They wanted a puppet, well now they have one. A heary and sincere "Fuck You" to Ed Wade, David Montgomery, and the rest of the douchebags that own the Phillies.
