The gaffer's had to move too! (1 Viewer)

[bamalamafizzfazz]

A mate of mine works at Coombe Abbey and told me that the day all staff were moved from the Ricoh Steven Pressley, his wife and daughter booked a room for three weeks.

Didn't think that moving out of the Ricoh included chucking the gaffer out of a hotel room at the Ricoh. Regardless of whether the Sky Blues leave the Ricoh they should still let Pressley stay there if that's where he was. Obviously Coombe is probably much nicer so he's not complaining. Just thought it might interest some people.

Good night!

I heard they were sleeping at Ryton to keep costs down and had to move out when the staff moved in.

a mate of mine (ex-Coombe Abbey worker), told me that during his glorious tenure here KD had a suite there,
all paid for by ???????

Interesting that it's only for three weeks......

 

[georgehudson]

ah yes, but, i'm told, it was kept available for all the time he was here, plus also a top of the range jag @ his beck & call,
only what i'm told though,

Wags will not be happy at the moment will they? League one is bad enough, but moving from Scotland and being stuck in a hotel without many facilities, screaming kids, and being 'The managers wife' must be pretty bad at the moment.

This crap won't last long ringing in his ears every time he leaves 'home'. Drip,drip,drip,drip. Arghhhhhhhh. Ok I'll get a real job in football.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it BECKON call?

Both are correct, but most common usage is beck and call.

elvis is actually staying at the quality hotel on the a45 as confirmed by a close friend who works there....ccfc had to pay for his room in advance

 

[skybluegnome]

It is probably more likely that his wife and daughter have stayed in Scotland whist he settles in..School holidays are now upon us and they have come down to spend the time with him...and it was felt Coombe was a better place than the Arena hotel to put them...

He looks a bit medieval with his unshaven hard man look, he just needs a scabbard, cloak and a helmet. Will he be riding to the Ricoh on a big white charger tomorrow?

 

[TheParsonsHose]
