Mark Hughes your football is...

Defo. I used to do 90 mins each way to work about 10 years ago and it was an absolute killer!

what time do clubs start training?

it raises an interesting point - there must be players commuting from all over - including our north east mob in the minibus!

do they start closer to lunch than crack of dawn?

 

I think he said he has family in Wrexham.
I’d be very surprised if he didn’t live in the usual footballers paradise of Prestbury/Alderley edge in Cheshire.

 

Yes fair point, didn't consider that possibility.

 

Maybe he was making sure the “Hollywood” owner was aware of a very local, very experienced at the highest levels manager should the current manager be considered not quite famous enough.

In fact I think young Sparks should make a follow up call and arrange a manager swap with them.

 

He actually said he was born and lived in Wrexham less than three miles from the ground.
I believe he lives at **, xxxxxxxx ROAD, ALDERLEY EDGE, SK9 xxx

 

Interesting observation by MH on tele. After the game
Lineker “ Mark we’ve not had time to talk about Bradford, in League 2, Wrexham going for promotion could be playing next season”
MH “I hope they get up but we won’t be playing them as we will be up too”
Said with a very straight face and before I get jumped on I’ve paraphrased his words but “we will be up too” were definitely there

 

Well, he's not going to say what we all think is he... ?

 

Caught that as well - in Hughes we trust.

At least, some of us do...

 

It's about 10/10:30 from memory. I think Harry Lewis said in his interview he had earlier in the season that he and some others get down for about 9am to do some gym work and do the sky sports news mystery player quiz.

 

To coin Brian Potter from Pheonix nights 'I wanna moonwalk son, but life's a shithouse.

 

In an article I read or heard Ryan passed comment about his massive house in that area when he went across to speak with Hughes after initially takes with regards taking over at our club.

 

Not going to say we are shite and the owner is shite and we have a shite CEO is he?

 

No as he doesn't suffer from coprophobia.

 

He lives in Wetherby (or did) very close to Derm Tanner. Edit, I'm referring to Parky, and I think the post was about Sparky.

 

Parkinson lives, or at least he did when he was with us, in Tockwith.

 

Still does, in fact when he was at Sunderland they had two Board meetings (during summer break) in my office building.

 

Disagree unless I'm going deaf.

 

Which is just outside Wetherby

At 2:39:50 he says "Hopefully we don't play them, because we will go up, and they will go up as well"


I know its a bit sad, but its a slow day at work..
