It’s close season 2014, MFC have just won the FA Cup for the first time averaging over 3 goals a game and are planning to extend the Riverside to a 42,000 capacity due to the extended waiting list for Season Tickets. Gibbo & Lamby are sat going through the submitted tenders for the building works when Gibbo’s intercom buzzes……………..
Gibbo’s Secretary - Mr Gibson, I have a Mr Keane from G.Y.P.O. Construction asking to speak to you
Gibbo - Mr Keane, G.Y.P.O. never heard of him or them……………..anyway put him through
Gibbo and Lamby look at each other with confusion
Gibbo - Hello this is Gibbo, how can I help you ?
Keane - Be jebus, ma man Gibbo, how tha feckin’ hell arr ya ?
Gibbo - I’m very well thanks. Do I actually know you ?

Gibbo turns to Lamby
Gibbo - Lamby it’s Roy Keane
Lamby - mutters thieving b*stard
Gibbo - So Roy what the hell happened after your third successive relegation in 2011, I always wondered what happened to you
Keane - Well ya see Gibbo, aftar the attendance fell below 5000 and even a 44 year old Gary Speed wouldn’t sign for us, Mr Quinn decided to sell off the site to a major supermarket chain
Gibbo - Major supermarket chain ? But I thought they built a Netto ??
Keane - Tat they did, tat they did. Fantastic bargains at everyday prices I tell ya
Gibbo - And wasn’t their an inquiry into the way the construction works were awarded and carried out ?
Keane - Tat their was, tat their was, but we were cleared of any blame for the cars sinking in the tarmac on the opening day
Gibbo - But I thought the company who built that Netto were called S.M.B. Builders
Keane - Tat they were, that they were
long pause
Gibbo - So anyway where is Mr Quinn these days ?
Keane - He is sorting out a delivery of the black stuff at the moment
Gibbo - Guinness ?
