sheperds interview...

doesnt sound much like an interview, sounds more like he's just reading a pre written statement

 

Four hours talking to McIndoe? What did he do? Lock the door?

I would have thought that that was a pretty short conversation:</p>

&quot;Now listen, Michael lad, I want you to stay, and to sweeten the deal, I'll throw in an extra ham sandwich for you and your lass to share. Imagine taking that 'ome eh?&quot;</p>

&quot;No thanks gaffa. They're offering me literally thousands of pounds a week and the opportunity of realistic promotion to the premier league&quot;</p>

&quot;Now, now son, money isn't everything. Do you think I got where I am today by dealing in money? Come on Lad - what about the ham sandwich offer?&quot;</p>

&quot;Thanks but no thanks. Can you unlock this door?&quot;</p>

&quot;But what am I going to tell the fans?&quot;</p>

&quot;This is a very small cupboard Mr Shepherd. What you need to do is let me go. What is it now? About 0830a.m.? - sign a winger between now and lunch time, and tell the fans about my leaving tonight at about 7pm or 8 - after you've gone home - do it by text message, you won't even have to answer any questions or anything&quot;</p>

&quot;Bloody 'ell, that's brilliant. Are you sure you won't stay?&quot;</p>

&quot;No. But tell them we negotiated for four hours - that ought to buy you some respect in the ponty end. I'll keep quiet for a ham sandwich&quot;</p>

&quot;Do  I look like I'm made of savoury appetisers?!&quot;</p>

&quot;Can you unlock the door now?&quot;</p>

&quot;I think I've lost the key...&quot;</p>
