A potential conversation between Cryne and Shepherd...

(C) &quot;How about Blackwell?&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;He said he wanted to do things his way.&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;What about Danny Wilson?&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;Too popular. He might make me look bad. Look what Ritchie nearly did.&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;What about Dowie?&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;Too expensive. Beside we'll stay up.&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;What about Davey stopping on then?&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;We've already said we want to go for experience. (PAUSE) You know what Patrick?I could do it myself you know. I could. I've always fancied a go... gooo on&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;Er... I think you have too much on Gordon. Someone said that you were coaching the under 15s yesterday&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;Well, I suppose we could keep Davey on. He'll do what I tell him&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;Fans might get a bit upset over that Gordon. You'd better come up with something to soften the blow&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;I'll tell them I interviewed everyone, and he was the best candidate. Then I tell them we're willing to spend &pound;2 million quid on the squad&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;Steady on Gordon. Where's that going to come from? We haven't got that kind of money&quot;</p>

(S) &quot;I know. I know. We'll sell Howard and Hassell and lie about the rest. The fans are stupid. They'll believe owt.&quot;</p>

(C) &quot;Well. Ok. Anyway I'm off out for a bit, I have a seven million pound bid in on a Claud Monet at Sotherby's&quot;</p>

DOOR CLOSES</p>

Shepherd quietly takes a Wednesday shirt out of the top draw of his desk, and kisses the badge silently, strokes the Chuppa Chups sponsor logo longingly, and put its back into the draw. </p>

classic comedy

probably nearer to the truth than we all dare imagine

 

Very good apart from the Wednesday bit at the end

lacking in good taste that was.

 

I reckon you bugged the office

'cos that's probably just about what was said regarding the new manager, the only way to explain it

 

You forgot a few lines just before they decided on Davey......

(S) "I know I will ring all five candidates and ask them one more question before I decide"

10 mins later

(S) "That settles that then, Davey it is!!!"

(C) "What did you ask?"

(S) "I gave them a list of players and I asked how many of them they would sign if they were manager. Four replied with laughter and said none. Davey said he would sign all of them boss"

 

Oh lol, love it
