[Senior Vick from Alicante]

The game is silly really, why on earth are clubs appointing people in their late 70s? What other industry would do that?

Always thought this, if you have an aspiring young manager or someone whos stepping up from a lower league then it makes sense to bring them on board as an advisor. At 78 its a bit short termism unless as the BCFC fans think he will be the man thats going to be their new director of football.

Reids managerial talent at Sunderland was to pick Phillips and Quinn and swear a lot (see Premier Passions). Thats all.
Fucked us right over.

The US presidential industry?

He was only appointed as that clown McGinnity decided he wanted a big name and asked Richard Keys who would be available. Keys said Reid would.

Years later Reid said that when he took the job he insisted McGinnity gave assurances Callum Davenport remained at the club. This led to the famous remark when Davenport wasn’t in training and he rang McGinnity for him to just say “he’s gone Peter”

A bit like Lampard Reid took Leeds when they were failing and us - two basket base clubs with basket case chairmen and was always going to fail

I think Reid is not the villain of the piece like Grendel says, it was the utter arseholes that run the club at the time. Reid comes across well whenever you hear from him, I follow him on Twitter.

To have been a fly on the wall when Tim Sherwood’s medical was signed off.

He didn’t even have a medical as far as I’m aware

 

[fernandopartridge]

I think that 2000-2007 period under the previous owners did far greater long term damage to the club than the subsequent SISU era.

Nah, surely not.

 

[Grendel]

The Sherwood comment wasn’t made as a flippant comment. He didn’t have a full medical as he’d have failed it - just the batshit world of Mike McGinnity

McGinnity destroyed the club

I know it wasn’t flippant, but it is comical how that happened and he was given a 2 year deal.

From what I hear Hodgson has been put in to basically guide standards and procedures of what is expected as a minimum from their permanent appointment. Almost a director of football role with a bit of management on the side.

 

[Shannerz]

Love this vid

So childish.

[fernandopartridge]

Hodgson sounds like Harold Steptoe:

You can stop the interview now you dirty, disgusting, 'orrible old man!

 

[warwickskyblue]

We have a lot to thank Bristol City for. It’s put an end to the f**king Ipswich nonsense!!

lets hope the fuckers drop as far down as we did, and let's see if they can get back up

 

[shmmeee]

Tell em we’ll give them £2m for Fatawu cos they’re our neighbours.

 

[SomersetSB]

York City away on a Friday night beckons, anyway fcuk em!!

Most saleable asset for team dying on its arse being 'very likely' to leave is so obvious it doesn't even need to be said. They really are fucked aren't they

 

[covcity4life]

I liked Peter Reid personally. Not sure can say he better than hodgson though. He managed inter Milan and won a uefa cup! Bit premfacery to only talks bout Fulham and palace etc

As for faragegate

Nigel Farage was invited to Ipswich Town meeting, BBC told

The Reform leader was invited, despite the club claiming otherwise, the BBC understands.

The Ipswich "nonsense" will rumble on for a good while yet.

Reading their forum is entertaining. The majority are rightly furious. Not only for inviting the frog faced c**t in the first place but lying about his visit.

Apparently many of the playing staff are very unhappy, so hopefully this will derail their promotion push.

 

[Flying Fokker]

I think that 2000-2007 period under the previous owners did far greater long term damage to the club than the subsequent SISU era.

If so, why did Fokking SISU choose to take us on so many unwanted journeys?

Come on we’re Man U players reacting negatively to Radcliffes comments? Footballers generally don’t care

 

[Grendel]

as they were trying to get a club via snake oil Ray and Elliot Robinson and the council wanted them above anyone else

Maybe the foreign ones with brown skin do. Im only writing what I've read.

I'm sure you know more, of course.

Just edgy nonsense isn’t it? Of course the owners who lost the ground relegated us to our lowest level in generations and split the fan base in two did more damage.
