    Just heard him on SSN and he appears to have rediscovered a brummie accent.
    What a pillock!

    He was born in Dudley! :)

    which is about 5 miles from West Brom, which is probably why he wanted the job in the first place :)

    Also lots of people revert to their local accent when they get back home. I’ve lost my Yorkshire accent but it starts to come back if I spend some time back in Wombwellnot a fan of Big Sam but not going to criticise him for that one. It’s not like when McClaren picked up a Dutch accent

    Tbf the west Midlands accent is one of the easiest to pick up.

    You’re bang on. I went back to my home town of Wombwell a month or so ago. Within 10 minutes I found myself hunting for Spice, chatting up 13 year old lasses and looking for a scrap. Was weird.

    Ha ha. What an absolute knobber he is. I imagine there’s probably an interview of him around this time, discussing his love of Derrida and Rimbaud. What a pr.ick.

    Poxed a draw at Liverpool, getting battered by plenty every week outside that. Quite amusing.

    I never knew you were from Wombwell. I agree with you on accents though. According to my family I have never lost my accent, even after almost 50 years away but it is always better when I am visiting my family. Not that I have since the virus struck.
