Examples of pure stupidity in English football.
Also see “Organisations” to find out who won “Most dangerous football organisation, 2007” and which organisation retained its boss after he was jailed for gross corruption. Talk to anyone of even passing intelligence inside the game and you will be told that English football is packed to the rafters with absolute idiots. Talking about this during Christmas 2006, we recognised that given the way English cricket was being run, the crown for the most badly run sport in the country was going to slip away from our beloved football to the summer game. We felt the need to restore football’s credibility as being run by the most incompetent people in the universe. Thus the Wengerdrome team decided to do an experiment. We decided to start collecting examples of stupidity in football. We laid down the rule that the examples we would come up with would have to be clear and obvious – no matters of opinion, not open to interpretation, but pure and perfect idiocy. We agreed to accept some wonderful historical examples, but our emphasis would be on what happened as we entered 2007. We decided to collect the examples club by club, as well as recording anything we found from other sources such as the BBC and the FA Stay tuned, there are more to come. You can see them yourself: you just have to listen to the radio or read the papers. |
