I imagine the problems earlier in the week were like this:-
MM - So, John, do you want the job?
JG - Just one thing left to cover, transfers... I have full say on targets and outgoings, right?
MM - Yes, yes... All your own work.
JG - Good. Can we talk targets?
MM - Yes. You have already started talking to Darren Moore.
JG - I have?
MM - Yes. And you have agreed to sell MacAuley for £1.5m to Ipswich.
JG - What the...
MM - And congrats on deciding that we can cash in on Stearman and Mattock... John... JOHN... Oh well. Lee? Get me the names of all the available managers and interested parties.
Lee Hoos enters with ream of A4 paper.
MM - Let's have a look then, Simon Grayson? Never heard of him. Strike him from the list. Mike Newell? Managed Luton, the old board liked a bung... hmmm... steer well clear, too close for comfort. Barry Fry? Perfect!
