John Sitton

The guy he sacked had been at the club a decade and amassed approx. 350 appearances for them.

To sack him at half time for a television show indicates a pr*ck of the highest order, and I'm glad he's a taxi driver now.

You, you little ****, when I tell you to do something, and you, you ****ing big ****, when I tell you to do something, do it. And if you come back at me, we'll have a ****ing right sort-out in here. All right? And you can pair up if you like, and you can ****ing pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your ****ing dinner. 'Cos by the time I've finished with you, you'll ****ing need it."

You need to listen to the full story Tubey.

The lad was demanding a testimonial fund and an increase in wages when the club couldn't even afford to pay for a team bus to go to an away game. When Sitton said he couldn't meet his demands the lad said he'd sign a 7 day contract (which means you can lift your skirt to any team who is interested and [Poor language removed] off at a moments notice), and after putting on a load of weight in a week and giving a sh*te performance in that first 45, he was sacked.

It's not an easy job being a manager of a lower league team at the best of times. That documentary ruined his life.

No way! thats even worse!
 

Thanks for posting that link of modern day Sitts. Articulate bloke - although clearly of the I-have-a-hammer-and-every-problem-looks-like-a-nail variety.

The original clips are legendary, but really bang out of order if you get past the laughter. No motivation there whatsoever, all stick nae carrot. Just a boss thinking he can abuse the team for 15 mins.
 
I'll be honest, watching 'Sold for a Fiver' actually made me feel bad for John Sitton. What you don't see is the year of the club underperforming and crumbling from the top down before he actually loses it. He never had a chance with that club in that situation, and I don't think it's any fair representation of him as a manager.

That said, the end of the Blackpool (I think) rant where he offers out two players ("and you can bring your feckin' dinner, 'cause by the time I'm finished with you, you'll feckin' need it") is LEGENDARY. I've actually pulled some lines from his more eloquent halftime rant vs. Brentford for use in real situations.
