A quite unbelievable story in today's Lancashire Evening Post concerning Paul Simpson, the current manager of Preston North End. http://www.lep.co.uk/template/viewarticle.aspx?sectionid=75&articleid=3150397

OK this seems like a joke but I've heard the audio and it's true. He wants to ban the club from playing our traditional song "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" because it's too depressing and doesn't motivate the team.

In the ten years or so that we've been singing that song we have won two Championships, appeared in two premiership play off finals and a semi final. Other PNE teams and managers (and fans) have been inspired by the song.

Time for Simpson to change his record and get us out of the six month depression that we're in. When we go 1-0 down to fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday in just over two weeks time this tune belted out from the Town End may just prove to be Simpson's Swansong.
