Shearergol Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Exactly. Fail. Not April 1st yet. Exactly. That's why they wouldn't announce it if it wasn't true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hadn't actually crossed my mind that it would be an april fool. That'd go down well wouldn't it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Exactly. Fail. Not April 1st yet. Exactly. That's why they wouldn't announce it if it wasn't true. If the club actually announced Shearer as a manager on April 1st and then saying it was a joke the day after, I'd kill myself, honest to god Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
