To add some perspective there are people out there who find £1m+ payouts for sacked football managers extremely distasteful whilst they have been furloughed, can't pay their mortgage and don't know whether they will be in a job in six weeks time.

Personally I'm gutted I can't pop by his Clifton flat and give him a little cuddle. But there you are- we all have to man up at difficult moments like this. Have you thought of writing him a letter to let him know you care and that you haven't forgotten him? I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 44 minutes ago, Moments of Pleasure said: What do you find humorous generally, as a matter of interest? I've got quite a broad sense of humour. In terms of stand up I like anything from the crass style of Jimmy Carr to the groan-worthy one-liners from Gary Delaney to the clever observational comedy of Bob Monkhouse. Sit-coms such as Fools and Horses, Big Bang, Inbetweeners etc (so again, various styles). Stuff like Mrs Browns Boys and Miranda not my cup of tea. I just see this sort of thing though as (intended or otherwise) providing encouragement for people to have another go at someone who has taken a battering already - I just don't see the point. Like I said, maybe I'm just having a bad day, but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find this distasteful, disrespectful and not in the slightest bit humorous, personally... To each his or her own. To be honest I was very surprised we didn't get a tearful joint presser like we did for Johnson senior which would have sparked a lot of outrage no doubt, so a spot of piss taking of a person walking away from a job with a massive payoff who certainly didn't get a hard time from the fans in a real sense shouldn't bother that person one jot. Loads of players really try their best for the club but are clearly not good enough and are shown the door without sentiment so perhaps the outpouring of grief expressed at the departure is the cause of Code Red's humorous (to some) intervention.
