So what. Why come in on those two games where we had little chance, only to get off to a crap start? Good idea on his part - why lose kudos playing those two? x
I don't doubt it, no one or organisation is perfect. You have to agree though. If this bloke regularly talked out his arse he'd be on TalkSport.
The thing is mate, he can say this without being asked to provide any proof whatsoever. He'll just tap his nose, wink and say that he can't disclose his sources ....... just lazy ****e as usual imo.
I heard a rumour that pardew claimed his side scored in the last derby game... Oh wait a minute... please log in to view this image Nah did they ****... **** of Pardew.
dont see what the problem is if it is true. besides, he might have been offered the job, but the start date only been after those 2 games. Short might have offered him the job, provided that Ball didnt work a miracle in those 2 games and win. lots of ifs and buts surrounding that rumour "in football circles" that the journo is not saying cos it makes the statement less juicy.
Or maybe we did a thorough job in recruiting a manager, interviewing many candidates in the process starting with the strongest first? Have we forgotten the amount of coaches who we heard were getting interviews only for their odds to shorten in the following days? Poyet, as first choice will have been interviewed first which put him favorite where he remained favorite. Like I said, need much more proof before I'll entertain op's theory.
There is no proof mate, just sad journalists gossiping after work like we all do, they don't need any proof as no one can disprove it. I'd heard that Nigel Clough was approached by Short and offered the job ....... Clough said he hadn't completed his mission at Derby, refused, then found himself sacked and up for the Boro job instead.
How the **** can you shoot a horse through a grape vine But it is rumoured that the mags do shoot horses, well shoot on them, whilst creeping through the field in darkness, without a condom.
I think the board held off the appointment due to those two games any new manager buzz would be destroyed with two defeats in first two games. Not for one minute do I think he said 'lets talk after those two games eh?
My party trick is shooting a fart propelled champagne cork over the roof of the house ........... a real ice-breaker for the ladies
