SO WHAT!!

I dont envy anyone jumping into the political frying pan that is Upton Park.

The fact that he has had a bad run of games just played into their hands. It's a pity because he seems to be a genuine sort - a proper nice guy. But nice guy don't always get on in this cut-throat world of ours :( Who next? - Curbs seems to be the favourite but don't rule out Sven - whilst I'm not predicting it - it would not come as a total shock! :blink:

Most seem to be the other way round - 100 managers in 9 years or summat. Players come and go as well - Had a look at my Play-Off final programme from only a couple of years ago (vs. Uddersfield - remember) and we have only got something like 3 players left from the 30 or so that were mentioned. Think County have got more from that squad than we have! :o :o

When he was with us he had a reputation (amongst others ;) ) for crashing cars. Had avtually managed to write off about three in a couple of months. In a particular game our Liam was being given a severe lecture by a referee when some wag yells - "Offer him a lift in your car Liam" - well that was it Liam just bent double with laughter. Thinking that he was laughing at him did not seem to be going down to well with the ref, then we could see Liam almost whispering something in his ear. The ref burst out laughing as well and, as he walked away back to the centre-circle, turned and applauded the crowd! Proper quality! :rofl:
