Salford sack manager

Quoted from Grantham_Mariner

15 reasons why PH will not manage in Lancashire.

1) Paul sees Yorkshire as the largest historical county in the United Kingdom - so vast it had to be split into ridings (North, East and West). Lancashire is just inferior.
2) As soon as you start to cross the Pennines, those grey clouds tend to loom, and Lancashire is known for its rainy weather. Yorkshire may not be the warmest county, but it gets a larger share of sunshine.
3) He will not deny deny Lancashire has some fabulous scenery, like the Forest of Bowland. But guess which county large parts of it used to be in? Yep, Yorkshire.
Besides that, it has two National Parks, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Lancashire has a bit of one called the Yorkshire Dales. That must smart.
4) Yorkshire, which began as a Viking settlement, has masses of history you can enjoy. Lancashire has little.
5) World Heritage Sites - Yorkshire has two: Saltaire, near Bradford and Studley Royal Park which incorporates the ruins of Fountains Abbey. Liverpool had one too which historically was in Lancashire - but it's now part of Merseyside (and just lost its status). Yorkshire 2 - Lancashire 0.
6) Better seaside towns - Bridlington over Blackpool or Scarborough over Southport any day; they're classier affairs altogether.
7) He knowsYorkshire are better at cricket - Yorkshire has 33 championship wins. Lancashire? Just the nine.
8 ) Yorkshire created rugby league - in fact, it was in Huddersfield that the sport was invented in 1895. And the club with the most Super League titles is Leeds Rhinos. Lancashire just tried to copied.
9) Authors - Known worldwide for Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Shirley, the Bronte literary family are one of Yorkshire's most famous exports, with fans travelling from all over the world to pay pilgrimage to their birthplace in Haworth. Lancashire has its famous authors, sure, but can it offer an entire family of them?
10) Yorkshire has  the second biggest festival after Glastonbury, Leeds Festival, and the Great Yorkshire Show, the UK's number one country show. Bigger and better than anything Lancashire can come up with.
11) Paul’s dialect and accent are famed in many a foreign land thanks to Monty Python, Sean Bean et al. We're not sure the same can be said of the argot of the folks on t'other side of the hill.

12) Tea - Yorkshire Tea, made by Taylors of Harrogate, is a cup par excellence. Cup of Lancashire Tea anyone? No, didn't think so.
13) Lancashire hotpot is a decent dish but you won't find it far outside the Red Rose County. But no Sunday roast throughout England is complete without a Yorkshire pud.
14) Beer
Craft beer, or real ale as we used to call it, is everywhere now. But Yorkshire was well ahead of the game with long-established breweries such as Theakston's, Black Sheep, Samuel Smith's, Taylor's and Tetley's. We'll drink to that!
Don't worry, Lancashire, you can always come to visit.





15) He will not be offered the job!
