Well, sod off then, you two faced rat.

Should managers be loyal to their clubs? Or is it just another job?

[ummmm]

It's a job.

[joggerjayne]

oh

[joggerjayne]

Seems pointless agreeing a long contract if the manager might fulfil the contract, or might not bother.

[albaqwerty]

Why can't they be tied like the players and only get transferred at the right time ?
(you know, transfer windows and the like?)

[joggerjayne]

Or ...

Why can't they fulfil their contracts !!

Not very practical as most of them move because they get fired.
I think JJ is being an old romantic thinking of loyalty in a football context.

[ladybirder]

Oh and there was me thinking you'd be moving over here in your dotage JJ. We are so looking forward to getting our own back ...oops sorry meant welcoming you to Hove actually.

[joggerjayne]

I might go as far as Brunswick Square when I get really, really old, LOL.

Actually, no, I'll be this mad old bat who lives behind one of the doors in North Laine and wanders around talking to the birds.

Consider this JJ....Lee Clark at Huddersfield declined a load of higher paid and higher profile jobs to stay with them as he thought he could get them promoted. 6 months later, despite a 40-odd game unbeaten run, 4th place and a couple of points off automatic promotion, they sacked him. There's loyalty for you!

[joggerjayne]

Bit harsh!

[T&S]

Football is a fickle business!

[shoota]

Ah.....Huddersfield.....

[joggerjayne]

somewhere up north

[T&S]

Excuse me JJ, it's Ooop North I'll have you know!

[shoota]

Aye lass, West Riding as it used to be, my hometown.

[DTCwordfan]

Not far from the home of the Gordon's Gin bottle, JJ..........where they make the bottle, not the gin.

[joggerjayne]

Oh, right ... sorry.

"ooop North"

That's like, say, Burgess Hill, or Hertfordshire, yes?

[joggerjayne]

This geography is all very confusing.

I thought West Riding was a telly programme?

Or was that East Riding?

[shoota]

No, you'd need a few crisp sarnies if you were to venture that far north.
