He'd be a good pimp in all fairness.

Nah his claim that he has never managed something that goes down wouldn't be great for business

All I can say with back up is that somebody or some people in the Farney are going to lose their marbles, and shirt. As my other half said (as we watched MNS) - "give it six months". Half of me hopes she's wrong, the other half can't stop giggling!

You sure she was talking about Roddy, Spud?

That proposed takeover was being recommended by the powers that be in the FAI at the time too. Which says a lot about their foresight. Thankfully those in charge of the club were having none of it. Roddy and the McMullens. They were trying to "invest" in various clubs all around England and Scotland after that and nobody would touch them with a fifty foot pole. They eventually got their foot in the door in Scotland somewhere, I forget where exactly, and where thrown out on their ears when they, shock horror, didn't actually have any money to invest at all.

**Longfordian** · 22/03/2011, 6:27 PM

Think it was Livingston alright.

**passerrby** · 22/03/2011, 6:40 PM

**MagicMon** · 22/03/2011, 8:48 PM

Either that or it'll become the 2011/12 version of "XXX in financial trouble?" :S

I doubt it will be as funny as the last one.

I think most here will pity Mons if anything untoward were to happen to ye. We like ye.

Ye're like our little sister who's now going out with the local hardshaw and we're not too happy about the situation, but ye are optimistic about the future for the relationship and we don't want to burst your bubble.

**Magicme** · 22/03/2011, 11:03 PM

And sometimes the local hardman can be a sweetie with a heart of gold who makes your sister very very happy.

or sometimes he beats her and she is scared into silence until, one day, she snaps and stabs him to death with a knife, burying him under the patio.

Theres a moral to that story.

excellent!!!!that said I was horrified about the idea but it may work out in the end.. every manager leaves a club at some point but the club is very sound and based on very simple yet logical grounds. as someone said before the worst we can do is lose games.......
