Seems everyone is calling him different names so I'm just going to stick with Leslie - great reference for our manager and very Stoke like. Sparky originated from his days at the shit, so that's out , and Hughesy has no imagination at all so that out for me. Do remember an article in the Oatcake years ago about nicknames and it was proclaimed that if Stoke has a Arabic right winger with one eye, one leg and was called Mustafa Smith, Stokeie's would nickname him ''Smithie'' anyway. (Think it was something like that). LESLIE for me anyway.
BIT BORED TODAY.

He fast became known as "Sparkless" at QPR.
I'm sure that won't happen this time around though.

Went from Leslie to Clueless at ours. There wasn't a chance in hell of calling him fucking 'Sparky' though.

There wasn't a chance in hell of calling him fucking 'Sparky' though. why clueless? because you finished 10th and got to the quarters of the UEFA Cup? given that your highest finish before that since coming back up was only 8th and for a few of the years you were 14-16th and flirting with relegation every now and again what's so wrong with 10th? personally i think it was far more to do with coming into money and therefore presuming you could just buy a top 4 finish straight away first year out...i'd say in that instance the "Clueless" tag is more apt for the fans than the manager...just another club that decided they were "Massive" and deserved silverware immediately as soon as you got some money in |

I'm pretty sure he'll be called worse than "Clueless" if he repeats that here. |

He should have been sacked then but he got the chance to spend in january and we battled back up to 10th. He then spent god knows how much on mostly shite who we're just about getting rid of now (RSC £17.5m and 90k a week!). At the time he was finally sacked we'd won 2 in 11 but had set an impressive record for most drawn games in a row including hard fought high scoring draws against Burnley and Hull. our defending was worse than can possibly be comprehended despite him buying an entirely new back 4 of his choosing (playing Kompany in defence rather than midfield might have helped) and had Hart sat on the bench. The only thing that was keeping us in spitting ditance of Europe was Tevez being on a one man mission. Mancini came in and almost instantly sorted out the defence, very narrowly missed out on top 4 and then the rest is history. We won only a handful of away games in his time as well as the poster above said, I think that's a common theme wherever he's gone. EDIT. I actually think he had Hart out on loan after dropping him for Given the previous season. |

There probably wasn't much to choose between Given and Hart back then. |

Always used to be 'Sparky' for me back when he was in my SWOS team on the Amiga, guess I'll stick with that.

I think his name will be determined after our first home game against palace.
If we get anything at Liverpool then he's on a good footing.
However if we lose its no great shakes.
The palace game however is entirely different.
Win it and his name will be positive
Lose it and it will be expletive.
I still think he's a bit of a cunt though.
I hope he changes my perspective of him next season.
