The New Manager Thread

[Neil Young]

Terry Pratchett anyone?

[Reece]

She drove her car into me while I was on my bike. I was stationary at the time. So you can judge for yourself whether she was justified and who the **** was.

Clearly you for riding a bike

[dww]

Can they be fictional? I can see promise in a Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg managerial team if not.

[Neil Young]

I think that was very much her take on the situation.

Can we be sure it wasn't Reece in makeup and a wig?

Brilliant. A fictional manager would be even better than a dead one.

I don't see why they even need to be human characters. Now you've opened my eyes to the panoply of possibilities, I think a non-living form in a fictional universe where the laws of physics are entirely different and wholly beyond our understanding would be the unanimous choice of every true fan of Liverpool Football Club.

And if you don't agree, you're either deluded or not a true fan. Or both.

There is no way of knowing so yes, I'm certain it was.

A Higgs boson would be cool.

Oh FFS - first Mourinho, now this. Where is this all going to end?

If you're all going to play "EA's Fantasy Chairman" where you role-play the ludicrously hypothetical situation that you're in a position to make a knowledgeable judgement as to which completely improbable managerial appointment you'd make, why not include dead managers in your considerations? Or people who have never been football managers but who you think would be good? There's no need for realism in all this. You can just base it on your own sincerely held feelings about why X would do such a brilliant job because it's just your opinion and it really is a fascinating and valuable way to whittle your life down to a stump.

Errr ...

In that case then, I want Mr Burns as our Owner, Smithers as our Chairman and T-Rex as our Manager.

To be fair neil, if we were to all sit there picking points in other people's posts, yours alone would keep me sufficiently busy that i'd not be able to do anything else at all.

Perhaps the 'live and let live' theory would be best used here, second only to the 'if you dont like it, dont read it' notion.

I'd still back the 60 year old woman in this scenario

Neil is just being cantankerous, he bears this trait the older he gets.

Can't we just have master Yoda! teach the team some Jedi tricks.

Win, we must!

I'd like to see David Bowie in charge. He'd bring back the Golden Years in no time at all.

How about the coach from Dodgeball.
