Hi >From the Guardian: "Meet the new Dennis Wise - a thinking man's manager". >From what I remember football was something you played. Not something that pretentious supercilious Mancunian gits that try to forget their origins try to 'think about'. It was when they went through the process that they flatteringly describe as thinking did soccer go down the tubes. What is it about Manchester that they get so muddled about yet think they are something oh so special? They try to forget that that rag is from Manchester and yet think that some crap dump from Salford actually is in Manchester. Michael
Oh-oh..................looks like MDM hasn't been taking his pills again! I'm not sure what the above frothing at the mouth is all about, but my guess is that it has a teensy-weensy bit to do with the fact that, as I learned when I lived in Israel,(and you're scarcely going to believe this) The Guardian is widely reviled as a rabid leftist anti-semitic newspaper because it occasionally writes editorials which are not slavishly supportive of the latest atrocity by the IDF. That garbled burbling above may seem like just the deluded rambling of a madman, but there is actually a subtext to it, which is this: The Guardian is about the only paper that bothers to report what the Israelis are up to in Palestine. As such, MDM and his chums don't want anybody to read it. So if he makes a big deal about The Guardian's Manchester connection (even though it hasn't been based in Manchester for over 40 years), maybe some of the rabid Manchester-haters on the list will decide not to read The Guardian. Or am I just paranoid? You're right, there probably is no method in his madness. Strange, though, using 3 Manchesters, 1 Mancunian, and 1 Salford in 9 lines of a diatribe which purports, as far as one can gather, to be an attack on the pretentiousness of The Guardian. If anybody is still reading, for the record, I think Dennis Wise may turn out to be just the man we needed. I was as horrified as the next man at first, but the more I think about it, the more I am growing to like the idea. The only problem is that we are going to have to suffer years of clichéd headlines in stupid rags like not-The Guardian about "Wise Moves", "Wise Men" etc. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
