TG: “I run Swansea”
AC: “The City? I thought that was Rob Stewart?”
TG: “No, I mean Swansea City AFC. ‘The massive Swans’; ‘the White Army’…”
AC: “Er…right…”
TG: “Well.. We, er I mean I, was wondering if you’d possibly be able to see your way to, you know, maybe come and, er, help us out for a bit”.
AC: Oh right, ok. So a bit of match day promo for Swans TV or maybe host a hospitality session. Yeah, sure Tim, always a pleasure”.
TG: “Er no, not exactly. We, er I, was hoping you’d come and manage the team again”.
AC: ….
TG: “Al, hello? Are you there?”
AC: “Tim?”
TG: “Er, yes?”
AC: “Feck off. And you can call me Curt, but don’t call me Al”
