My name is Dougie Freedman, but I'm known as 'Tinkerman',
I'm the gaffer down at t'Reebok, where I have a cunning plan.

It's what I learned on courses, whilst passing my coaching badge,
Plus things I gleaned from playing and any new ideas I might cadge.

The vital ingredient in my plan, is to keep the punters guessing,
Not to mention, all the players, who find this so depressing.

I like to think I'm up to speed and play a novel style,
But the lads are really 'anti', so it's taken quite a while.

The fans all favour 'four-four-two', but I like one up front,
So, they can take a running jump! I'm afraid I must be blunt!

Occasionally, I indulge them. Whet their appetite, so to speak,
But when we're under pressure, that policy's up the creek!

Get them all behind the ball and leave one to lead the line,
That's the way to boss a game. If not, then I'll resign!

The coaches taught me lots of words, I call it 'football-speak',
It's a basic language, all its own, used by a tiny clique!

Some may call it 'gobbledegook', others are just agog,
But those of a cynical nature, suggest I've been on the 'grog'!

I always work the opposite way to the fans at our great club,
But I believe it's 'lateral thinking', rather than see it as a snub.

So, I couch my comments, whenever I can, in a plethora of jargon,
If I hadn't been in 'footy`, I'd have made a super salesman!

You'll notice that I rarely pick the same team every week,
Even if they win a match and each player hits his peak.

Other teams like Burnley, may turn out the same eleven,
But has it done them any good? Are they in seventh heaven?

No, these young men need constant rest or face a quick burn-out,
A game a week is far too much. Of that there is no doubt!

Trust me, I know about all this. I've been there, got the T-shirt,
And any lad starting in the game, would soon become a convert!

Remember, I'm here for the long term. The future's in the kids,
So that's when you must judge me, if the blue-print hits the skids!

Until then I'll just continue, to tinker with the works,
And keep everybody guessing. It's one of life's little perks!

An excellent poem - I wondered what JayJay had been doing since he left the club.

Almost rhyming couplets is just about the right level for someone with such oversimplified negativity. 
Do we get a prize if we can guess which of our regular posters this is?

The ditty comes from someone who calls himself Barney Grumble.

Don't know if Okocha and Barney are the same person but I thought it was an excellent poem.

Far better than anything I could ever manage.

I eat my Peas with Honey,
I've done it all my life.
It makes the Peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife!

Welcome, Okocha - I'm one of your biggest fans.
