After reading his book, if the lad is half as intelligent as he thinks he is Fleetwood have got the second coming of Pep on their hands!

They've just lost their star playmaker in Lindsey Buckingham, so he'd struggle even there I reckon. 

And drafted in matey from Crowded House as cover. Even Fash FC wouldn't do that.

Joey Barton going into management is like hearing someone in Titan Towers say "Let's make Nailz a road agent." What dribbler would ever put him in charge of anything?

Got Paul Merson all over it. We had a dinner a few years ago and Merson was guest speaker. In between sniffing and wiping his nose, he told us a story about how when he was Walsall manager they drew a non-league team in the FA Cup (Googling says it was probably Slough) and he went to scout them. They had a midget in goal and were rubbish. He passed this back to the players and him and then all bet their houses on themselves according to him. Come game day, he reckons they'd brought in a massive keeper on loan and they turned them over. Everyone lost a bomb.

That game was the cup tie selected for Match of the Day highlights that weekend. Slough were ground-sharing with Windsor & Eton at the time so it's possible he went to see the wrong team, or caught Slough's under-18 side by mistake... or actually went to Slough itself and saw a random local pub side. Even if the betting tip was accurate, he's earning a shedload just to tell the story badly and boast about disregarding the rules on gambling. What a ridiculous racket after-dinner speaking is for famously inarticulate ex-pros.

I'm amazed he's doing anything with Clint Hill. Wasn't he one of the 200 Rangers staff who wanted to chin Mr. Barton after that 5-1 game?
