I thought it was an odd job for him to take in the first place.
He'll still get a reasonable job in the Premier League I'd imagine
What - living in beautiful San Sebastian, one of the best places to live on the planet with the stupid cunts paying you shedloads ?
How much was he paid?
I presumed it was fuck all
Huh - For some reason that surprises me. I would have thought the opposite. Then again I'm basing that on nothing at all so it might well be true.When he went to Spain there were one or two hints in the press that he actually isn't that popular with other managers.
Well, he never bothered to learn the language. That pretty much cuts out any alliances with other managers, and it suggests to everyone else you're not expecting to stay long.
Bloody hell, is that really true?
I still maintain we should have stolen that!He's a winner. You don't have to win things to be a winner.
Yes. And he gradually pissed off some players by just pointing at them and shouting while the translator tried to make sense of all the barking. And he still did his press conferences in English.

I really, really like that.
Why is he holding up a shallow blue dish? Why does he look like someone from a Scottish cover band version of the Dave Clarke Five? Where is this amazing hostelry?
So many questions
It was in a Pub in Old Swan, I can't remember which. It may be closed now....
That's pretty shocking if true.
Taff's Tavern. Sadly it burnt down.It was in a Pub in Old Swan, I can't remember which. It may be closed now....
Yes, I did some basic Google Fu, and it's in Old Swan. That mural was damaged in an arson attack last year.
For some reason, I thought it looked like the sort of artwork you might get in an ex-pat run shithole in Magaluf or something. But the reality is even grimmer.
And I've just worked out he isn't just holding a bowl or dish or whatever, it's supposed to be a manager of the year/ month award, but someone's coloured in his shirt over it, so it doesn't look as if the metal bit is joined to the base.
Clearly that's not all that is wrong with it.
That picture has a bit of form on this site. It's been posted up a few times. It's one of the funniest things to pick apart. Me and bunch of the lads at X-Mas drinkies a few years back were all for going up to the Old Swan and robbing it. @FoxForceFive wisely intervened suspecting (correctly) it was the Jägermeister talking.
