The best bit is they'll be loathe to dump the chosen one and will likely persist with him in the same way we did with our nearly managers.
The best. Don't tell me you've not been there. You know, your mate falls down the stairs in a drunken stupor and lands arse first in the middle of Hardman Street. You can't really help him for laughing.
I couldn't name one of my mates that wouldn't apply to, I tested it out by once running down from the flute & going superman style across the floor.

Anderson has claimed a number of Manchester United players "want out" in the summer, with the midfielder, who is on loan at Fiorentina, stating they may want a fresh challenge.
Anderson only joined the Italian club last month on a temporary basis but said he was there for the long term. The Brazilian signed from Porto in 2007 together with Nani, who the 25-year-old named as one who may depart in the close season. The futures of several senior players including Nemanja Vidic, the captain, Patrice Evra, and Rio Ferdinand are also in the balance. "I am sure that lots of players want out," Anderson said. "Especially people like myself and Nani, who have been in Manchester for seven or eight years. Manchester United is a huge club, a club that does everything for its players, but sometimes a footballer wants to leave just to experience a different way to play football and to learn something as well."
He signalled his intent to make the move permanent. "Playing in Manchester was great, it is a prestigious club with a lot of history. But I was there for seven or eight years and I want to show Fiorentina my quality and fight for a spot in the starting line-up," Anderson said. "I thank all Manchester United fans for their love but I'm here to stay."

Are you seriously comparing Houllier with this chump? Or have I got that wrong? Ged won two league cups, the FA cup, the UEFA cup, made us a feared team, chipped in the European Supercup and a charity shield. It may have got away from him after the Diouff/Diao/Cheyrou stuff, but jesus wept.
Cool your jets, bro. Your last sentence is the only one that has any relevance to the point I was making.
Cool your jets with the addition of bro is one of the finest starts to any post ever. Point taken.
Peace. 🙂
One of the most satisfying things about this situation is the fact that Mick Hucknall and his horrible ginger face is sobbing somewhere. The cunt.
He actually looks worse than you imagine if that is possible.
Like Rocky out of Mask grown up
I thought Mick Hucknall was in court at the moment?
He actually looks worse than you imagine if that is possible.
Like Rocky out of Mask grown up
Baaaaaaaaaaahahahaha horrible twat.
I actually think he looks better now than he ever has in the past.
It's the change from track suit to 3 piece suit isn't it? Trackies do nothing for a middle aged man.
He actually looks worse than you imagine if that is possible.
Like Rocky out of Mask grown up
What's Kenny Rogers doing with extensions and dyed red hair?
Ha ha!
If he wasn't losing it before, he is now.
Manchester United's David Moyes gets prickly under pressure
Relentless media scrutiny is clearly beginning to irk the Old Trafford manager, as he showed at a tense press conference.
Manchester United's manager, David Moyes, put in a terse performance at Tuesday's press conference.
At the end of a terse press conference on Tuesday it was not easy to know what to make of David Moyes' state of mind – other than to say he is growing resentful at the scrutiny that working for a club of Manchester United's size can bring.
The tone was set when the man from Sky offered a standard "good afternoon" and Moyes stared straight back. He then proceeded to say as little as possible before a bizarre sketch at the end when he was asked about the team's mid-season trip to Dubai – they leave on Thursday – while he was making his way to the door. Pretending he had not heard the question, he strode out. It was an expert blanking, missing only a talk-to-the-hand speech bubble. Moyes accepted later that he had heard every word.
Too much can be read into these events sometimes but it certainly offers an insight into Moyes' current mind-set when he is willing to give the television crews only three minutes of his time.
What quickly became evident was that this was not going to be a time for forensic analysis. His players had been "terrific," he said. "The players are doing great. I think I've got a great group of players. I'm very fortunate I took over the champions and I think the players have been terrific."
It was gently pointed out that his team were 21 points worse off than at this stage last season. "Well, I was at Everton so I wasn't 21 points worse off," he replied. "I was at Everton." .
OK, but United, how has it gone that way? "The improvement in the teams in the Premier League has been big," he said. "There have been a lot of improvements from sides in the Premier League and obviously we've not done as well." That was about as expansive as it became.
There were little clues, however. Moyes was clearly unhappy at the reaction to the 2-2 draw with Fulham the Premier League's bottom club, and the focus on his team knocking cross after cross into the penalty area. "You need to have a football intelligence, a football brain, to understand first of all," he said of his tactics.
René Meulensteen, Fulham's manager, had said United were predictable and their young defender, Dan Burn, had talked about Conference-style tactics. "Yeah, well, I thought only one team came to win," Moyes said. "But you [media] watched it yourselves, so it was probably a game for you to write how badly Manchester United had done, rather than what the opposition played like."
Was he disappointed, after the signing of Juan Mata, that his players had not reacted better? "Who's not reacted?" Moyes shot back. The team? "Yeah, but we played well against Fulham and should have won the game so, if you take that, I would have to disagree."
Was it time to try something different? "I disagree with that as well." Even though the results are not what they should be? "I can only give you my answer. I disagree." More staring.
A poll by the Red Issue fanzine has shown Moyes has lost some of the crowd's backing recently. In January 7% of supporters wanted him sacked, with 20% saying they would give him until the end of the season. It is now 17% wanting him out now and 32% preferring a summer change. It has also emerged that United have briefed their stewards about the possibility of a new wave of protests against the Glazer family. Stewards have also been warned about a possible pay cut if the club do not qualify for the Champions League.
Another questioner pointed out that at a different club the supporters might have been hounding him out by now. That was maybe the only time Moyes agreed. "That's why the right clubs pick the right managers and the right managers pick the right clubs. You pick clubs where you know it is the right place for you.
"I was given a six-year contract because it was a long-term deal. It was always going to take time. There is rebuilding going on year after year here and we will continue to try to do that."
By the end, however, Moyes could scarcely go through the motions when he was asked whether the team had to reproduce the form they showed when beating Arsenal at Old Trafford earlier in the season. He just nodded and stared. So, to clarify, did he think they could reproduce that level? "Yeah, I think we can." Could he explain? "Because we have done it before." It has been a long time, though. "You asked me a question about Arsenal and I am just answering your question. I think we can."
And then he was off, without a single look back.
Fuck it you could highlight the whole lot of that really, that 21 points quote is a classic right there.
Also only 7% wanted him sacked last month? and only 17% now? where have they pulled that shite from? just one look at their forums tell you the majority want him gone asap.
