"And then worst of all, the man who mends telephones for a living has had a go at iz on his website. Do you think we can take much more?" While describing his exciting weekend and the slaggings off he's had, from Sir Alex in his programme notes and one of Allardyce's "press friends", (Custis?) amongst others.

Oh Lanchester, so much to answer for: Stewards enquiry We hear that a hasty rewrite of the Chronicle was required on Saturday, after the first edition announcing Redknapp as our new manager hit the streets at around the time the Pompey boss confirmed he wasn't taking it. Having announced on Sky to the nation that Redknapp was "past the post", their chief sports writer then went and filed his story confirming that "fact" - only for the printing presses to be halted while new copy adding the word "not" in various places was inserted. Oops. Monday then brought the same individual back in front of the Sky cameras, holding up that day's Chronicle, complete with Shearer-related back page headline. When the Kirk Douglas look-a-like (or is it Jack) was asked who would be Allardyce's replacement on this occasion though, his answer was "not a clue". Honest, at least....

Guest More Tea Vicar? Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'd say the one interesting thing in that whole load of waffle was his claim that he spoke to Redknapp and most of the conversation was about what he was going to do at Newcastle when he arrived. You mean the stuff that's meant to be 'off the record'? His 'sources' are really going to trust him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Has anyone ever noticed the similarity between north east holder of the finger on the sporting pulse Alan Oliver and one of the world's finest ever songwriters, Burt Bacharach? http://www.gthomas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/anal01.jpg http://www.nndb.com/people/300/000023231/bacharach1-crop.jpg Obviously, you younger people won't have a clue who BB is, just take it from me, the man's a genius. Burt, not Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Alan Oliver has released an old Bacarach song today coincidentally.Its a song directed at owner Mike Asley.Its "Do you know the way to Sign Jose"! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macphisto Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Does anyone else think Oliver's time is up? I know the general consensus is yes, but I mean from the point of view of what happened with Robson, Souness and now Allardyce (not to mention Ferguson having a go at him in the match program). Of course he got along with Roeder and not too hard to see why seeing Oliver led a one man press charge for Roeder to get the job! His name must be complete dirt in football circles! I never really hear other local papers being criticised this way, though in fairness would I hear about it if they were? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RowanB Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 To be fair to Anal I assume that's meant to mean that Redknapp will be positive in going for wins rather then trying for draws and hoping we might just nick a goal to win a game. That's how I read it at the time anyway, maybe I'm giving him too much credit.. Still worded pretty poorly thought isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I doubt Mort or Ashley will have been too impressed by Oliver revealing details of a phone call between Mort and Shearer telling him he wasn't getting the job just yet. It can't have done Shearer's chances any good if it's felt that he's too close to a twat like Oliver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 If it is true that Redknapp phoned Oliver on Friday and discussed plans about what he was going to do up here then it adds more to Mort's version that they stopped talks once the commuting from the south coast became an issue.
