We´ve touched on this subject before
But as we await our new chief,
I´m sure it will become pertinent as we
Hope to turn over a new leaf

This industry´s about results
Only, even more so today,
And how you achieve them matters rather less
As winning is all that will pay

For you who spend your hard-earned cash
To watch games live, I understand
The wish to be entertained while winning too
If only things could go as planned

I too have stood in the stands
Against teams we thought we should beat,
But I still preferred a boring one-nil win
To an ´entertaining´ 2 - 4 defeat

Three points at the end of the day
Is the only real guarantee,
For Chairmen and Board members and fans alike
When it comes to staying happy

Just how many have entertained
Consistently in the PL,
This year and can say they´ve also had success
While doing it, eerrrrrmmmmm, well...

Man City and Liverpool
And possibly Everton too,
But after that it´s hard to find any more
And three out of twenty´s quite few

And whoever we do appoint
And as much as their heart is willing,
To entertain and thrill, sometimes it won´t do
To keep us hígh up on the billing

I know the last time we were here
We managed to combine the two,
Picking up points with panache and style
But then, momentum we had too

So hopefully we´ll find a blend
Of efficient entertainment next year,
And if we could get the balance just right
We could again reach the top tier. OTBC


PS: was going to put my feet up, but thought I´d better hang around to see who´s going to be the lucky fella :)
