The Man with the Clipboard
« on: September 03, 2014, 21:54:04 PM »
Watching international games - why does this man always have some really urgent last minute instructions ????

Like Lambert coming on in the 89th minute - in my day it would have been "put yourself about son and put one in the onion bag because we have been really sh*t tonight"

I could do that job - no clipboard required

Its probably to make him look important Ian, you know on his way to be a manager, that's how Mourinho started I believe.  ;)  :)

Well I wouldn't employ him Des - he leaves all the important stuff until the last minute - should be better organised :-)

It goes like this "OK Rickie its the 89th minute - remember what we went through in training? Remember all those optima statistics we gave you to read about their 30 man squad - well we need you to play in the hole and take Jensen out of the game as your priority - then...... oh sorry Rickie there goes the final whistle - quick step over the line so I can sign off your appearance money - did I mention I am responsible for that as well Rickie - yep I am now ensconced as an integral cog in this well oiled machine - Rickie??? - where are you Rickie?"
