I probably ought to watch Football League ahow a bit more..........

Stuck in '75% off christmas cards' queue at Clinton Cards at Meadowhall when this bloke walks up to man in front of me asking for his autograph. Really sucking up to him -
i thought maybe this guy was really famous!!!
Me: Who are you then ?
man: Nigel Pearson
Me: Oh right, I remember you used to play for Wednesday. Don't really know much about them. I'm a Barnsley fan
Me: What you doing now ?
NP: I'm manager of Leicester ! (D'oh! Why didn't i know that!!!)

Anyway, we had a chat about the current situation about Managers. He asked me who i'd want. He said he thought KH was a decent manager and that it just hadnt worked out for him. I mentioned that having Danny Drinkwater snatched from under our noses hadnt helped, to which he chuckled and said he turned into a very good player.

Actually, he was very pleasant and seemed a decent bloke and even took the time to say goodbye and wish the club well after he had been served. But i was still left surprised that he was prepared to queue for 10 minutes to get 75% off some christmas cards.

 

Haha.. Excellent
