You receive an out-of-the-blue call from a former hugely successful manager and less successful liar - somewhat unexpectedly newly available, having just been sacked by West Brom. He offers to take over managerial duties for six months if you completely waive all the monies he owes you, should he again save you from relegation. He requires only a moderate salary and funds to sign a striker and goalkeeper in January, who have already indicated to him an interest in following. He assures you that Roy won't mind, he's told him, God's honest, cross his heart, hope to die, trust him.

What now?

What’s Roy done wrong? Pulis or Sam couldn’t have done better.

Nothing at all that I can thiink of. I love lovely old Roy. A fine man. And we'll still pop round regularly to see him, bringing some shopping, getting his milk in and fetching him a blanket. But Pulis is a different matter. Remember when he came and we had only the faintest pulse? All the Stoke fans telling us we'd be fine? "Don't be soft - we're screwed: no points, no idea, no hope. It's over." / "Nope. He'll keep you up, regardless." / "Nah, it's not possible." / "He'll keep you up, 100%. I guarantee it." And how.

So what price our principles(/future?)?

That's not the question this week though. Trevelyan's drawn the one up top so that's the one in front of you. (You can always cheat and look - the answer's at the bottom of the table.)

You must be a hoot at parties. Paul Trevillion (you missed that correction) and I wrote the question so we decide. The cheque bounced.

I doubt very much that he chuckles at Parish after Parish successfully sued his ass for millions.
