you should be a football manager instead of a below average pub singer.

Ha ha, so will I mate..
and I don’t even have to work in grubby little pubs.

Nor do I, as it happens. I started off there, most do. But you progress.

More your ‘corporate venues’, restaurants, wine bars, and entertainment venues. My current possibilities are looking great. So don’t be jealous about it.
We can’t all do it, I know that. And I wouldn’t have mentioned it, but you did, so there we go.
I could do that, earn what I do, or I could do a badly paid job for a pittance, or sign on and scrounge. It’s my job. I have my own management, and operate a recording studio/office 7 days a week. Not bragging, just saying.

To me, it’s work. Pays my bills, same as anything else.

“Do you mean the Summer when Roberto only came on board really late due to Whelans fanny farting about trying to steal him from Swansea on the cheap instead of giving them a decent offer? Thus giving him no time to settle in and look at good transfers for us? (remember).”

No I don’t. I remember Steve Bruce leaving Latics on 3rd June & Bobby being appointed on 16th June. That’s under 2 weeks without a manager.
Bobby was appointed the best part of a month before pre-season training even started on 10th July & 2 and a half months before the transfer window shut at the end of August.
How on earth that isn’t enough time for a manager to settle in & look at good transfers I don’t know. In those 13 days what exactly do you think he could have done that would have made things so much better than they are now?
I aint saying sack him (I don’t know what the answer is) but all these apologists making excuse after excuse for the mistakes he has made & is makign are burying their heads in the sand
