Yeah why hasn't he.
They are thinking about Dalglish so why not gorgeous George ?

Since this is obviously a popularity contest and not one about the ability to manage or past records.

Presumably because new players would not be bought by the national team, so there would be no brown paper envelopes floating around.

Amazes me how he can get a job that involves working with young players if he is on the sex offenders register. A taxi driver would lose his liscence for a similiar offence.

Well ho-hum stockport won on Saturday........ the chairman is apparently well pissed off at the players.

Neil De Vos (Chairman) told me that after the Chesterfield game he told Sammy Mcilroy that he wanted all the players at Edgeley Park at 8.00am (usual start 10.30am) the next morning, they weren't to drive in but use public transport to give them an idea of how "normal" people have to get into work, Sammy Mac asked why and NDV told him he wanted the players to clean Edgeley Park because thats all they were fit for and to give them an idea what real work was, Sammy Mac refused to do this saying the PFA would lynch them!!

NDV also said that he printed off e-mails and board messages from a variety of fans after the Chesterfield game, most of the players couldnt or wouldnt read them because they couldnt take the criticism, in the end 4 players read the e-mails and board messages.
excellent..........
at least it appears the chairman is as pissed at the situation as I am.

I want to give it to Tone for that one, but I still have to spread my reputation around. I've been giving it to random people so I can come back and tip one for Tone, but still no joy.

Anyway - top pic there.
Just started a fire in the Take It Outside section which I'm keeping my eye on.
Back later with some footie though.
