A good friend and mags supporter with a few itk pals, has just txt me to say he has just been told Ashley in talks with Lee spotty bastard Clarke to take over at Sid James? If its true I have to say I'll piss myself. He ****ed up at Huddersfield FC, with the biggest budget in the 1st division at the time and made a dogs dinner of the Birmingham job as well. Watch this space?
And up steps Sheerah to take the reigns, again. He's got experience of relegation so should fit the bill.
How quickly things change in football... thats why were all addicted, I can defo see Pardew out the door at the end of the season no matter where they finish up.
Pardew is following a time tested methodology to his management. 1st season - do ok. 2nd season - work wonders and well over achieve. 3rd season - relegation. He's done it all at clubs. This one wont be any different.
Just rang my Skunk neighbour to ask him about this. He thought I was ringing to take the piss after their tonking. He knows people who know people that are in the know at the Shop arena. He doesn't know about Clarke per se, but did mention they had been making quiet enquiries of possible replacements for Partridge even before the derby. He reckons he will be gone season end no matter where they end up.
To be fair, my mate didn't think it would happen with 4 games to go either but Pardoux's days are numbered for sure.
McClaren and Hughes are still available , Pulis will be availble soon. I reckon they'll go for Benitez myself.
