Leazesque I was right post there Also, I see tomorrow's top-of-the-table Northern League clash between North and South Shields is a record 2,000+ sell-out. Canny

Brilliant that like, the politicians lied about what people were voting for beforehand and now they claim to know exactly what people want out of brexit. He's a right snivelling little cunt of a man as well.

Well they would say that

Independence Day had the disadvantage of being shite in the first place though

In the 2nd tier

Loved this one too

You probably remember this one from back then, Chez:

Love a bit of Herbert

I'm not sure he would either tbh. I think he knows it would be a really hard job and that he'll get other offers come the summer (if not before)

Aye it's defintitely possible when you look at what they've done in recent years. And I totally get what you're saying about Short and what would be the best thing to do. I just think (especially given his record) a couple more losses in the next couple of games (at the most) and Short'll shit his pants and sack Moyes. It'll also have a lot to do with whose agents have been onto the club too. I would imagine that, were Allardyce willing to return, then Sunderland would have him back in a shot. That, followed by relegation, coupled with our going back the other way would be too funny

You need a 'Happy Face made this' watermark on these things, HF

We were a total basket case. I doubt his agent had much bother getting the clause inserted

Given that, even in the first year of parachute payments they'd be something like £60m worse off that last bit seems unlikely and also, I think, explains why they're continually prepared to gamble on sacking their manager to stay in the league. And they got compensation for Allardyce which probably went a long way to paying for Moyes. In terms of a long-term plan then biting the bullet and sticking with what they would make sense but when has logic ever been applied to clubs in the Premier League? The new money just adds to all that. We'll see, I suppose. I would fucking love him to stay like.

All of that hints at what he's capable of.

:lol:

Benitez certainly seemed to get a lot out of him.

If that argument held any water very few managers would get the sack in the first couple of seasons of their contract but the average length of time PL managers have been in situ is actually less than that, even taking into account the likes of Wenger. It's obviously not a decision he'll be happy about having to make though. Do you think Short's just going to let him keep losing games like? In theory you could say he'll keep him with next season in mind but in practice when does that ever happen? And would it work anyway given the negativity of having a manager who just got you relegated. That's before you even get onto the fans' view of him.

Aye but that was just you being contrary

Leazes was great crack when he was on about Tony Green and the like. In the end that accounted for about 1% of his output (which is probably being generous). He got himself banned really. A quick look at his twitter feed suggests it was best for all concerned.

Eventually all opposition is crushed on here. It's like North Korea

If they'd had a vote in Parliament instead of the shambles of the referendum then they would've agreed to remain by a huge majority. Now they'll all be banging on about :quotes:The will of the British people like that normally concerns them.

I wonder if they'll sack Moyes if they lose to Bournemouth. He can't have too many chances left.
