Yamanagerial Appointment

A 'tortuous process' which is nevertheless 'done properly' consisting of five key steps:

1. The sacking the current manager for sinking the team towards the bottom of the table, missing out on first and second choice targets and then entering into protracted negotiations with someone who doesn't want the job and was sacked from their previous job so having no win in 10 games.

2. The third choice man who doesn't want the job (TTCMWDWTJ) is then courted to join the club by the man that the club has just sacked, by showing the man who doesn't want the job, the training facility that they don't own, the main stand that they haven't finished building and the expensively assembled squad which isn't performing.

3. Then the offer is increased to the third choice man who doesn't want the job, based on the fact that he doesn't want the job, who then requires the club to pay off the club who sacked the man who doesn't want the job in order for him to take the job he doesn't want.

4. This creates a 'stumbling block' and an ever growing addiction to financial doping is ignored all the while.

5. However, this process is 'done properly' although it is 'tortuous' which means 'we take ages because no-one wants the gig'

All or Nothing: Yamchester City.

Behind the scenes documentary featuring the trials and tribulations of one of Europe’s biggest clubs as they chase Champions League glory. In Season One, watch as they lull their rivals (Celtic, Liverpool, PSG and Barcelona) (definitely not Hibs) into a false sense of security by sacking their manager, captain and best midfielder, installing a novelty dwarf in goal and finishing bottom of the Scottish Premiership, whilst running up a wage bill that would make Roman Abramovich‘s eyes water.

In this week’s episode, Craig reminds Ann of the compromising photographs contained in a brown envelope in his desk, and Liam, Daniel and Steven compare wage slips during a boozy lunch with adoring fans at the Diggers.

[Cat Stanton]

Stendel (2)

A near-dangerous amount of alcohol intake, chiefly employed as a coping mechanism for dealing with the stresses of imminent relegation e.g. "FFS we're pish and we're going doon - I'm off oot for Stendel".

Named after one of the 21st century's foremost footballing stressed alcoholics.

[Eyrie]

Stendel (3)

Any object with negative buoyancy (eg "they sank like a Stendel").

Superdraw-the ability to make out an average draw at home - such as a 1-1 draw against a team who had been humped 3 0 by your nearest neighbours or 2 2 against the second worst team who had 10 men for 70 minutes - is a great result.

[Smartie]
