Another 2 weeks had passed...I went through the motions at work, taking on a more important role as my brother in law spent more and more time in Spain.
I began to read the back pages of the papers for the first time again, I was so out of touch with events....I certainly wasn't surprised to see that one of my back room staff at Bournemouth had replaced me....neither was I surprised to see them struggling in the league. I searched the internet for references to myself but it looked like I'd been forgotten fairly quickly...in fact a Google search showed my Hot Tub sales advert before my football achievements....
I was about to log off...it was late and I had work again the next day...I took a quick glance at SkySports.com long enough to see thier lead story...
Pellegrini shocks The Yellow Submarines
Spanish Football has been rocked by the surprise news that popular Villareal coach Pellegrini has walked out on the La Liga club.
Rumours were rife but the mystery appeared to be resolved after a statement from the Chillean was read out by a friend of the family:
"Mr Pellegrini has today made the decision to leave Villareal with immediate effect and concentrate on other projects...starting with his garden"
Few are accepting this as the real reason and whispers that Pellegrini was about to blow the whistle on in-club corruption are getting louder. No-one at the club was available for comment but a convienient bystander was heard to say "shame, he was quite good"
The bookies are already drawing up the shortlist for the job and such names as Sven Goran Erriksson and Avarm Grant are said to be among them.
I shut the lap top down and turn off the lights...I gave a quick thought to Matias Fernandez...he would probably be moving on now...what a waste of money on that hot tub....
I went to bed but for some reason sleep was hard to come by....
