Why I Sacked My Secretary
2008-03-27 09:32:00 This is a true story. Last week was my 40th birthday and I really didn?t feel like waking up that morning. I managed to pull myself together and go downstairs for breakfast, hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, ?Happy Birthday!?, and possibly have a small present for me. As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone ?Happy Birthday.? I thought? Well, that?s marriage for you, but the kids? They will remember.My kids came trampling down the stairs to breakfast, ate their breakfast, and didn?t say a word to me. So when I made it out of the house and started for work, I felt pretty dumpy and despondent.As I walked into my office, my secretary Joanne said, ?Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday!? It felt a bit better knowing that at least someone remembered. I worked in a zombie like fashion until about one o?clock, when Joanne knocked on my door and said, ?You know, it?s such a beautiful day outside, and it?s your Birthday, why don?t we go out for lunch, just...

Director fakes rampant racism, gets sacked
2008-03-19 00:11:00 Courtesy 24oranges: Director fakes rampant racism, gets sackedLast week, a director working on a fake TV news item about racism in the Netherlands got caught with his pants down because a competing station happened to have a crew nearby filming the whole thing. The director had set out to film a piece exposing rampant bigotry by showing that people in Amsterdam will not stop and help a woman in need if dressed in a niqab.In order to measure this bigotry, the crew’s reporter would drop a bag of oranges and see who would help her pick them up. After a while she would change to a niqab, a garb worn by some Muslim women that covers everything except the eyes, and repeat the exercise. And it seemed the crew got exactly the sort of result they expected...The rest;)

How I was sacked in Football Manager 2008 at first
2008-02-26 09:52:00 In the end of the previous post I informed you that there is possibility to be sacked if my new tactics will not give necessary results. Actually it didn't give, and : I have been playing Championship Manager/Football Manager series for more than 12 years. It's a pity to be sacked because last this happened in even CM 2003/2004... But there was no chance after many unsuccessful matches in which Wigan needed one more goal very often: So the Premier League standing after my last match with Manchester City was really sad. Sad for me, sad for board... And their patience ran out totally. So now I'm seeking for a new club to manage because I do not want to restart the game. By the way, there is new FM 2008 screen for job seeking manager without club: You see I applied for Reading, but they rejected. It seems Premier League clubs doesn't want me due to average reputation (National)... The True Football Manager

Donor-gate, Which Labour minister will be sacked before PMQs?
2007-11-28 09:58:00 There are rumours that a minister will resign (be sacked) this morning. Possibly Harriet Harman, but who knows? this story is so shady and twisted that anyone could be involved. David Abrahams told Jeremy Paxman last night that he could not remember giving money to Harriet, or whether she approached him, or if he made the offer out of the blue. He also would not admit to backing both Harriet and Hilary Benn in the the deputy leadership campaign.Here is where it gets interesting: David Abrahams donated £5,000 to Hilary Benn during the deputy leadership campaign (all above board it seems). However these are the questions that need to be answered: did Mr Abrahams give money to Harriet via Janet Kidd, before or after the campaign? If it was after the campaign (and that seems to be the case), did any of that money find its way into Harriet's private account to pay off the £10,000 loan she took out to finance her campaign?It has also emerged that Labour's chief fundraiser Jon Mendelsohn...

McClaren Sacked
2007-11-23 07:04:00 No surprises really. Not at all. After the Croatia game, you are either a hero or a villain. 1 goal made McClaren the Villain.As a manager, McClaren did not do that many mistakes, at least when he did them, he had the guts to correct them. But with everything going on with the squad right now, can anyone actually save the Nation's pride?Lets face it, the reason why McClaren was hired in the first place is because of his nationality. He's English. I know it punctures the local's ego to see a foreign coach coaching your national side especially if that sport itself is such a tradition in the nation. Imagine an Australian training the Japanese Karate team, or a Russian coaching the national Sepak Takraw team of Malaysia. Same deal.As thing stands now, think 18 months back, was McClaren the wrong choice?Could have big Sam done any better? Could Harry Redknapp helped? How about Pearce?

McClaren: wonderful PR man, woeful manager
2007-11-22 17:25:00 Steve McClaren was left to do what he does best this morning, deflecting a ravenous media from the key questions hanging over England's miserable failure to qualify for Euro 2008. As we always sensed it would, McClaren's beguiling mastery of the press seems set to mask his team's shortcomings well beyond his 18-month tenure.There would be no statement of defiance, no explanation of his skewed tactics and certainly no criticism of English players, the English game or anything remotely linked to to the FA. After all, they of slick suits and big lunches had sacked McClaren with one pen, while writing a cheque worth £2.5million with another. As decisions go, it appears attaching a four-year contract to the most volatile job in the country rates roughly alongside selecting a novice goalkeeper for the most important football match of your managerial career. "I was honoured to be the England head coach," McClaren said. "It is a sad day to be relieved of my post, but I can understand th...
