Not to 'PLAY' for them stupid.

To answer your question, while I realise that it is probably a fiction of Barca considering Sam, I certainly share Sam's view that he'd be able to do a decent job. Look at Moyes? If he is good enough for Man U surely lowly Sunderland would be a BREEZE?

Sam won't get top 4 jobs because he looks like Tweedledum (or his brother) and talks like a publican.

But he constantly resurrects teams in sh1te situations and now I've watched him turn this impossible heap of Pardew-created crap around with 4 out of 4 of his signings proving accurate and critical.

So you bunch of c@nts that keep putting down my team and my manager F@CK OFF! You people are shallow and judge on surface appearances only. You'd keep pretty polly pardew wouldn't you? Why? Because he looks OK in a suit. C@NTS.
