Every club has to be a brand, it's 2011. Football doesn't exist merely on the pitch, so any ventures that are aimed towards the betterment of what happens on the pitch is alright by me, even if it's drowned in marketing yap yap.
I remember when the Guardian were talking about a HUGE STORY breaking at 5pm, and it turned out to be that Inter were planning to bid for Gareth Bale.
I'm expecting very little. Please prove me wrong CET.
He'd be better off not responding as such in future, but 'wise up Jordan' is about as much backlash as he should officially get as far as I'm concerned.
He probably should have been a bit more careful, but it's important to remember he was responding to provocation. Bear in mind he's still only 19 and most likely trying to enjoy his time away from what must be a very frustrating time at the club.
I'd hate to think that anyone abusing someone on...
You can have a go at players in a football environment, I'm completely with you on that - but outside of that I don't agree at all. As he says, it's the equivalent of walking up to him in the street and lecturing him about his job, which isn't fair.
He does that by playing football. He shouldn't be a hapless punchbag to all kinds of abuse outside this. What if he was walking down the street, is it ok to hurl abuse at him there too?
A number of sites (Sky, TeamTalk, Football365) have just come out with stories lead with 'Coventry City have confirmed Ray Ranson has resigned as the club's chairman'
Shouldn't the official site be the first place for anything to be confirmed?
I didn't go to Preston, no. If Clarke and others mouthed off at the fans then that's foolish of him. HOWEVER, this has no bearing on him commenting on a day off he had a week later.
It doesn't matter how 'proper fans' (nice attempt at a dig there) feel, he shouldn't have to answer to us 24...
