I never know why the "Boys in the Press" view is seen as that important. They often scroll the camera across them at England matches and nowhere else on the planet (apart from on Safari, or in the Darts at Christmas that the BBC have the rights to) will you find a bigger group of scruffy, unshaven, ugly, uncouth, clinically obese chavs.
Little rule of thumb should always be: If the public & press want him, then he's not the right choice.
They wanted Keegan, nice guy but inspiring tactical team talks consisted of telling "Scholesey to go out there & let some 'and grenades off." They soon turned on him & that didn't work out.
They wanted Venables - dreadful win ratio, especially given we chose every opposition we faced until Euro 96, when even in our own back yard we won 2 games out of 5 & one of those against a team kicking the shit out of each other in the dressing room beforehand - and should've lost to Spain had the referee had his eyes open.
It took a while for Sir Bobby to be popular, Euro 88 was dismal & he was slaughtered by everybody up until the Belgium QF in Italy 90.
Now the latest clamour is for someone who's won 1 Fa Cup in 34 years of management, albeit was still one of the stand-out candidates.
Press conference at 4.
I almost feel sorry for 'Arry.... almost.
Fark orf!
I'm assuming Arry boy was timing his departure with the spud's financial aollapse, so where will he be slinking off to now?
