The dignified cabbage’s 1000th game

[Kid Dynamite 7637]

I saw that but can't see any news reports on the context. It reads like he's on his way back to NUFC

[Howmanheyman 36598]

'Welcome back, Isaac. There's been a few changes since you last here. It's a mixture of good news and bad news.'

 

'What's the good news?'

 

'Well, we're now good.'

 

'And the bad news?'

 

'You're still not good.'

Has he actually played for them yet?

That's insane if they even think about appointing him?

Probably decided that they couldn't afford another promotion followed by instant relegation.

He certainly does like his fictional story.

"You know who I think could do a job? That fella from Bournemouth who got them relegated who I've just accidentally on purpose slagged off because I was in the huff having to answer questions insinuating that I was a shite football manager.'

"I was in the Sistine chapel on my lunch & and I saw Micky clarting on stretching a canvas, I said listen bonny lad don't bother with that, hop up their & paint the ceiling & we'll get away for a pint. The rest is history"

'When I offered up my suggestion for who would be best placed to succeed me the room fell quiet and everyone looked my way, I think it was Mherdad who first said something like, 'You mean you'd still advise us?' before Amanda butted in said, 'Mherdad, shush, when Steve Bruce talks, people listen.' so I passed on my wisdom as they passed on my pay off cheque for services well earned.'

'When you talk about dinosaurs they did rule the world for three thousand years'.  

 

Even when he's trying to be a smartarse he still fucks it up.

I think he corrects himself to 3 million years, which is obviously closer but still wildly inaccurate

Harry had rung us first. “Ah think as gunna marry this black lass” he’d said.
 

“Now hey mister Prince, who am I to stand in the way of true love, and she does look absolute filth, but you do know what the press’ll do don’t you?”

 

”I know Boss, I just have to try with this woman. I don’t know how to make it work”. 

 

Barnes smiled. He knew exactly which page of the playbook to finger.  
 

“You’ve called the right man. What you need to do is go to the press, tell anyone and everyone who will listen how wrong everyone else is. Make sure you sell your story. No harm in making some money off of your pain and suffering.  Get as much input as possible from your lass, to make it authentic like.”

 

”and what do I do about the family”

 

”Leave them. You are your own man. Like me. Tell all your stories and they will one day welcome you back with open arms. Just like my Geordie family will. One day.”  Barnes stared longingly out the dirty window, the old waiting game. 
 

“Okay. So leave the royal family, tell the press my side of the story and move to the States” 

 

“woah woah woah yooth. I didn’t say move to the States. You don’t want to do anything too extreme kidda. Ta ta for now. Bien chance.”. 
 

Barnes clicked off, satisfied he’d resolved another tricky situation. Just then the moped finally appeared in his cul-de-sac. At last, his Taco Bell family meal for one was here. Life was still good he thought as he waded through ankle deep litter toward the door.

This is a man who sees his next grift as a Director of Football.

I took a quick scan through the podcast so YOU don't have to. 

 

Basically there's a very quick conversation about Villa and Newcastle where both times the problems were that he had no money to spend and fan expectations were too high.

 

He wasn't fired at Newcastle but magnanimously went to the new owners and told them he wanted to leave because he was still negatively connected to the old regime and recommended 'the guy who got Bournemouth relegated'. No mention as to whether he refused a pay out though, seeing as it was completely his decision to leave.

 

Other than that it's basically him and Warnock complaining that they're viewed as dinosaurs and how the Championship is more fun to be in than the PL.

 

It's basically an illustration as to why they're both on the scrap heap. Eddie Howe did a great job at Bournemouth but it ultimately went tits up and ended in relegation. So what did he do? He took a sabbatical and went around the world trying to learn from others and spent a lot of time examining his own shortcomings and came up with solutions to make himself a better manager. What does Steve Bruce do? He moans about money and fans and takes a three month holiday to his Portuguese villa then jumps back on the managerial merry go round to repeat the same mistakes all over again.
