That almost reads like..."sack me if you like, I'm not that bothered"

Good to see that he himself is taking the blame.

I would like to be a fly on the wall in the weekly meeting with JB ..

JB - ''Morning John, how are you''
JS - ''I am so-so James''
JB - ''Really''
JS - ''Yeah, things are going shite''
JB - ''Yes, we have noticed. We need to chat about that today''
JS - ''Ok''
JB - ''Right John, it is like this. We have given you a fair amount of money and we are a little concerned that the team and tactics you are picking are not working''
JS - ''Ok''
JB - ''Furthermore, we feel that you must improve greatly and get this rabble playing like a real team''
JS - ''OK''
JB - ''Are you taking me seriously John''
JS - ''Suppose so James''
JB - ''Good. Now if we can move on to the Hartlepool United fixture this coming Saturday. We and yourself and the team must get back to winning ways. We feel that Hartlepool United are there for the taking after their defeat to Northampton Town, we hope feel that way too''
JS - ''Suppose so James''
JB - ''Good'.
JS - ''What team shall I pick James, it is such a hard task you know. And as for tactics. Every game I think to myself, should I go with 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 or 2-2-6 or 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1''
JB - ''Listen John, I know nothing of football matters and that is why I hired you after that amazing interview you gave. So that is why I leave all the nitty-gritty affairs to you and the coaching staff, but it seems that you lot below decks are not pulling your weight at the moment and I will not stand for it for much longer. Basically John, if improvements are not forthcoming, then we may have to release you from your contract''
JS - ''OK, i'll get me coat then''

JB: But why not play an 8-7 formation like everyone else?
JS: Because this is not rugby...
JB: What game is this again? [lip trembles...] Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, don't look around the eyes, look into my eyes [snap] you're under... when you wake up you will believe that you are the manager of a professional football club with a competitive budget and great prospects...3,2,1 you're back in the room.
JS: You're shit at hypnotism, James.
JB: Whoops! Worked with PCC though...

(To be continued...)
