"If I'm successful at West Ham, why not? If that's the case I think it would prove hard for the Football Association to ignore me. But I wouldn't ever want to be seen as disrespectful in the eyes of the West Ham supporters. I would hope they would give me a break if England come calling"

Caesar is also a salad. Sam doesn't do salads.

But Caesar's palace has some great restaurants. Sam goes there often, Fabio doesn't hence Sam > Fabio.

He doesn't understand the basic principle behind headhunting.
He needs to do good for him to get a bigger club, and not get a bigger club and then expected to do good....

He had an opportunity at a bigger club and he blew it spectacularly
Don't know why everyone loves to make excuses for him at Newcastle, they were headed down under his management,
Brought in tripe like Smith, Geremi, Cacapa and Baye (free transfers but al on daft wages). He promised bad football but results-he certainly delivered on half that. What i think said it all about that was his reaction after a wretched 4-1 home defeeat to Portsmouth where they barely got out of their own half-"I'm very disappointed in the players today" and
At Rovers he was apparently the 6th or 7th highest paid manager in the division
What I find saddest about the guy is that he genuinely sees himself as an unrecognised genius and the equal to managers to like Wenger and Fergie

If there was ever a man with a more deluded sense of his own importance, i can honestly say i am lucky in that i have never noticed them.
the man is a complete plank. I wonder what he thinks the reason he couldn't find a top level job in all that time he was unemployed was...
