Excuses for Dickov to keep his job thread.

Over heard dikoff talking to his wife. I know I am a crap manager,I have only one way of so call playing which slow build up,play one up front so we don't concede many and when we do that's it because I only have plan a and am totally tactically inept,but why worry cause the powers to be at the club don't know anything about the footballing side of the game and they think the sun shines from u know where,I look smart and dress well and they like the way I talk so I am safe no matter what people say about me.

Was not Dr A being ironic?

I read it as sarcasm.

I picked his post as being sarcastic too

This is serious though Azza, no room for sarcasm.

Xon began in humorous vein and the early posters followed in the same spirit. In a sense it has become almost a joke that his fatuous excuses are accepted by those who employ him.

Even Blackpool have scored more that us

Than us

Cheers Don, I was beginning to think it was ironic that irony was wasted.
I thought I was following previous examples and suggesting what he might say.
Neither can I believe that anyone thought it was a serious attempt to defend him.

Bring back That Was The Week That Was.

I even threw in a version of an anecdote about what it was like to play against him! Obviously that was lost on some of the less informed.
Just in case another bit of irony was missed, I'm not really a Doctor, and it's not even irony.

One up to you Doc.
