Now sit down and I will tell you all a story, we will look at it through the sqaure window.

Picture the scene a badly lit bar late at night two Australians somewhat the worse for wear after a long session of drinking the amber nectar, one Aussie a director of rugby at a stupor league club says to the other a head coach at a nearby lower division team, 'Hey mate fancy a crack at being assistant to our fella and taking his job over when we can finally fire him' the coach being a little hard of hearing as liquormortice is taking its toll just hears the 'taking his job over' bit, and says 'Gee that sounds pretty sweet mate it doesn't look like my lot can get in the glory land for another four years so I'll think about it'
The next day the 1st aussie gets so excited thinking the 2nd ausiie has agreed that he gets on the phone and tells all his mates that his mate (the 2nd aussie) is joining his club as an assistant, one of the people told includes a 2nd rate hack for one of their local papers and publicises the story.
The 2nd Aussie on reading the story realises that the job offered was just to be an assistant at a wage worse than he's on quickly and publically distances himself from the story and pledges his future to the chairman and the club.

Nahh too far fetched it could never happen..... or could it

Nah, can't believe a story like that Fred.
Its almost as far fetched as the 'we're gonna build a new stadium, honest' story I heard.

Not what happened.

Steve Simms was in my local a few nights ago.The beer is very good but one of them is about 9%.He had about 6 pints and went home and dreamt he had been talking to a Bonza mate who wanted to join the coaching staff at Salford.

He told his chairman that was his recollection and Wilko (as he calls him) assumed it could only be Basil. Great tell Shaun' he said' when he gets back from Greggs and he might be so angry I will appoint him that he will immeadiately resign' cos Shaun likes to make the coaching choices.

Steve did as he was told but Shaun demanded his contract be paid up in full immeadiately. Jonno (as Shaun calls him) had just hired a fleet of JVC vehichles and could not afford it so he told Shaun it was a joke. Shaun said no worries mate but insisted that a gullible journo at the M.E.N be told to print a story saying Basil had applied to be his deputy because it might show himself to be the better coach in the eyes of all other Aussies playing and coaching in the UK.

Wilko had to go along with it and the rest is now history.Fact all of it.

I'll blame the wife

Jobby. Jobby. Jobby. Jobby. Jobby. Jobby. Jobby. The whole story is a load of jobby.

Great work Fred!

Worryingly, that's probably the closest thing to the truth that we've heard about the whole situation?!

Not your little story Fred I mean the whole load of rubbish that has been put on here.
