Except snow somewhere that's not seen snow for decades is actually an excellent example of the more accurate term, climate change.

How much do you reckon we could get Amdy Faye for this time, including Redknapp and McKay's cut?

He'll be able to give Barton advice on what to do when the coppers break down your door at 6am at least.

Someone who claims to be security at Newcastle Airport now says he's there according to SSN texts.

SSN says no-one knows where Harry is, speculate he might be sitting at home laughing at them having people looking for him all over the country. EDIT: They don't think he's in Newcastle, more likely still down south.

I really hope talk of 4 year contracts are a load of bollocks like, no way he'd see out that. Going to end up getting 4 years wages for one or two years work like all our unremarkable managers.

Depends how many million we need to save to pay 'Arry off.

Saying nothing and everything basically, sounds like he's resigned to Harry slinging his hook. "You obviously expect him to take charge at Sunderland?" "Yes, as it stands, I don't see anything at this moment in time that will interfere with that" Doesn't sound very convinced of himself at all.

Pompey assistant manager on SSN now.

Barton doesn't have a problem with alcohol, it's the people he chins when he's pissed who have the problem.

Well then wont Redknapp be an improvement on this horrible scenario? I dunno, is gonnorea an improvement on syphillis? And that's who I'm blaming for this, the person responsible for the decision of sacking Sam without a half decent replacement lined up so we have to go the familiar route of spunking a fortune on getting our hands on an unremarkable manager from another club and giving him a contract that not many people seriously believe he's going to see out.

The problem wasn't "winning ugly" or the "style". The problem was basic, avoidable, repeated errors and no sign at all of anything resembling progress coupled with comparible results. Don't think I'm knee jerking here because I wanted someone stupidly unobtainable like Jose by the way. I'd have prefered Jol, O'Neill, Keegan, Shearer, even sticking with Sam rather than this farce. Phrasing it as "Be careful what you wish for" is a fallacy - if when we'd got rid of Souness we'd replaced him with Howard Wilkinson would that have fallen squarely on the shoulders of those who'd been vocal about Graemes failings over the previous months?

Get that out of your system now, we're not allowed to say it any more if he's announced. We have to fix a smile and say he needs time through gritted teeth. Or go through this exact same process again? Where we appoint another manager that underwhelms? Dont you see the folly of this yet, now that the reality of your wishes from last week are staring you in the face this week? I often think you're the most intelligent poster on this forum bluestar but you seem to be failing to spot the obvious here. My wishes last week were that we should be looking to improve on Sam but only if we could replace him with someone better and if not it would make us an utter joke, as has transipred. I'd love to be proved wrong and think that we're not going to have to pay him £15m after a year to save ourselves from utter disaster.

Probably good in the loing term for my fantasy team but I gues that means I've got to bench the twat for tomorrow now.

Oh well, let's just grin and bear it as we repeat the cycle.

Much as I'm underwhelmed I really can't understand that attitude. Get behind him I say. Rather he was forced out before he spends our pennies to be honest. You've no idea who the board have considered for the role. If they have considered some big names, sounded them out and they dont want to come then your attitude is not just daft its dangerous for the club. In which case they should have just stuck with Sam rather than going through all this upheaval and paying an absolute fortune for the sake of swapping like for like.

"Mood is shifting to support Harry." Showing the Mong Showreel to back this up.

FUCK. Oh well, hopefully he wont be here long.

"Sources" say he's coming up North today.

At St James at the moment. Just blabbering about how Ashley and Mort aren't here. Happy Redknapp has refused to speak to the media at portsmouth and has lef the training ground.

Right. here we go.

This whole thing has destroyed my brain, I was having nightmares about footy last night and I can't even remember what was happening to the club except I was absolutely gutted by it and in a pub surrounded by suicidal toon fans and smart arse supporters of other clubs. I've lost my mind to the extent I bet a tenner in quids on various outcomes of the Man U match, most of which were relatively positive for us.

I can see it now, please come Harry, you don't even have to move here, you can give your team talks via webcam and email us the team selection. We'll buy you the biggest plasma screen you've ever seen and you can watch the matches from your house!
