I like him cos he makes me laugh. He's been getting names so badly wrong for years that I've often thought he was taking the piss. I remember him calling Dani "Danno" (how do you get Dani wrong?) and Batistuta "Batoosta" when he was on the RTE panel. That Talksport interview is something special, though. Top class spoofery. We'll get a few more laughs before he goes. I do feel a bit for the Newcastle fans. It's some succession of clowns and charlatans they've had running that club for a long time now.
I was thinking about this and I'm not sure it's true given the parachute payments are so big these days. It's kinda like the 4th place or cup argument, isn't it?
Just a total lack of respect regarding his position next season despite Mancini answering him. It's a bit of theme with Clarke and foreign managers. There's no way he'd speak to a British manager like that after them losing a cup final and probably about to get the sack.
