Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Crikey, could be the shortest appointment ever...from the Beeb.
The future of newly appointed West Bromwich Albion manager Bryan Robson has been thrown into doubt today after the press conference called to announce Robsons appointment descended into farce.
Former England captain Robson, 47, had agreed a two and a half year deal with West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace, but arrived at the press conference unshaven and in a dishevelled state, and proceeded to answer questions in a burly and aggressive manner. When asked whether he would have money to spend on the squad, Robson sneered, and amazingly, amongst a string of expletives said: "You reporters make me laugh. You sit there in your cheap suits and wave your little tape recorders around as though I owe you some kind of a living. Ask the chairman, you bunch of c****."
Chairman Peace, clearly shaken and embarrassed by the outburst, began to say that "limited funds would be available", when Robson interrupted and said: "Yes thats right, limited funds will be available. Limited funds, limited funds, limited funds", before waving his arms in a curious manner and forcing his tongue into his bottom lip. Robson's antics produced a stunned response from the audience of respected journalists, and at this point the Sky Sports camera's cancelled the live broadcast. One reporter ventured the question: "Bryan, is everything ok ?". There followed an awkward silence, following which Robson stood up and brushed past several photographers, grabbing one of the camera's and hurling it to the floor, before storming out of the Hawthorns press centre and slamming the door behind him.
West Brom subsequently released a statement, read out by press officer Adrian Leen, who said: "Following the events of todays earlier press conference, the club wish it to be known that we are in further talks with Bryan Robson over his new contract. The club respectfully request that any further questions concerning the appointment of Mr Robson be deferred until Mr Peace has had the opportunity to resolve any complications which have arisen. Mr Robson has scared us all today, and as I am sure you can appreciate, we need some time to take stock of the situation."
Robson was reportedly later found sobbing uncontrollably in a ladies toilet, and refused to answer any questions as he was driven away from the Hawthorns in a motorcycle sidecar, clutching what appeared to be a cheese grater and a large bag of radishes.
