Haha! Hopefully we can sack him for not following his fitness regime

Can't sack him unless he's done something illegal.

Sky sports saying that an opportunity to appoint a new manager had arisen, and Bernstein and King wanted it to happen ASAP, but the decision was not backed, so they walked.

This has been quoted a lot today, and if the manager was Moyes, as many suspect, you would massively side with them. But it could be somebody really unpopular. It's the track record of the club to assume it was them that messed up. Which I do, naturally.

One other thing - if Sir Brian is advising, one would either think that he didn't agree on the choice, or he did and will probably be detaching from the club fairly soon over the same issue. Of course, he can do so whenever he likes but there may be more to it than we're hearing.

Tomorrow will be a year to the day since the FA Cup semi final.

From peak to trough, has there ever been a worse 12 month period in our history?

What is the record time for exceeding 50 pages?

Cheers, that's impressive.

It's almost like he's had enough of football and wants out so is sabotaging his own career.

What a fool.

Or there is someone left at the club to actually give him his marching orders

Pretty sure you can't sack someone for being a bellend. Would have been quite useful if you could given some of our players down the years
