    Some think the appointment is iffy
    but Neil Collins gives me a stiffy
    it’s going to be tough
    but we’ll play great stuff
    and be in the championship in a jiffy

    Ronnie was joyous in speaking
    His ode to the gaffer was peaking -
    But Marc said it's amateur
    Your iambic pentameter
    Is messed up, it surely needs tweaking!

    Limericks are so last year. Haiku are where it's at...

    Over seas he comes,
    To steer us to promotion,
    Or maybe elsewhere.

    End of the season he’ll be gone either way

    From the Google Bard :-

    Ode to Neill Collins

    A leader on the pitch, a mentor off, Neill Collins is a man of great worth. He's led his teams to glory, And taught his players with elegy.

    A defender of the highest order, He's never afraid to put his body on the line. He's won countless tackles, And scored some important goals along the way.

    But Neill Collins is more than just a player, He's a manager, a coach, a friend. He's helped to develop young talent, And brought success to clubs both home and abroad.

    So here's to Neill Collins, A true footballing legend. He's a man of great skill, And a man of great heart.

    He's a credit to the game, And a credit to his profession. He's a man who will be remembered, For his achievements both on and off the pitch.

    Cheers to Neill Collins!

    You just reminded me of a poem I wrote at uni in my spare time about a squirrel, in the style of The Owl and the Pussycat. I still remember the first few lines!

    Cecil the Squirrel
    Got lost on the Wirral
    Sailing on down
    To the sea

    With a tree up ahead
    He jumped up from his bed
    And collected some
    Apples for tea.


    (That's all I can recall, it went on for ages. Cecil made some friends along the way, sailed to the Bahamas, and then turned round and came back to his natural habitat: The Wirral, chosen purely for its perfect rhyme to 'squirrel').

    Flitcroft's version:

    His end goal was a mystery
    He went on about synergy
    Signed Jason Scotland
    Then blew hot and cold and
    Never made it back to the Championship

    Can't believe that @Stephen Dawson is arrogant enough to post using your account and then likes what he posted on it.
