Conversational Silverstein with Jack Butty

The Butty Man reveals an insight in to his mind and thoughts. Maybe Robert planted the seed, is it even possible to understand ? However, conversations have taken place. Just not this one.

Communication breakdown
It's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane!
Led Zeppelin

In an imaginary scenario, Jake and Jase are talking by telephone.

"For crying out loud Jake this is turning into some deep doo-doo mess. Have you seen the Swansea Independent site? The fans there are going bananas. What’s the freakin’ plan?”

"We need to be careful, Jase. There’s contractual and legal stuff to get sorted and if we rush we’ll end up in even deeper doo-doo.”

"So, you think we should continue with mushroom management? Keep ‘em in the dark and keep shovelling in the horse manure? You can see the fans are revolting.”

"Jase they’re not all revolting — only some of ‘em. Hehe. It’s not just the sorting out of the current management issues but also making new management arrangements.”

"Jake I follow that. But everyone and his dog knows that Winter is gone. Can’t we at least just set out the new arrangements there?”

"Just as Spring — sorry Coleman - follows Winter? Ok not so funny.”

"Ffs what about Paul Watson? Surely we can announce him and get him behind a desk with Josh Marsh to start helping out on stuff?”

"Like I said Jase, it amounts to sorting out contractual and legal matters. We’ve just gotta sort these first.”

"Where the hell are we on the search for a new coach/manager?”

"Well, we considered the Yankee solution a la Brad Bobbly but decided against it after reflecting on the feedback last time. Then we thought we’d save on the compo dollars by hiring someone already out of work. The problem with that is when you rule out the good ones, who are looking up at the Premier League, we’re left with some duffers.”

"If we got Brendan or Potter we’d get some kudos. The fans loved ‘em.”

"That’s true Jase but they’re outta our budget range and they’d see it as a step backward.”

"So, are we going to spend the compo dollars?”

"Still not sure Jake.”

"But we will have someone before the season starts?”

"Oh yeah. Don’t know about Southampton though.”

"Ok, then I’ve got something here as an alternative to horse manure shovelling. It’s something the press office at Swansea.com drafted:

‘Fans will be aware that a lot of change is taking place inside their football club. We apologise for the lack of information and intend to improve on this. We are unable to go into any detail at present due to contractual and legal issues that must be finalised. The club is working tirelessly on these and as soon they are complete we will provide more detail. We anticipate that the first news of changes should be confirmed in the next week and that there will be more thereafter which will be shared with fans as soon as this is confirmed.”

"Hell, that’s better than nothing !”

Why didn’t we think of that earlier?”

The inner mind.
