On Sunday, October 30, 1938, millions of radio listeners were shocked when radio news alerts announced the arrival of Martians. They panicked when they learned of the Martians' ferocious and seemingly unstoppable attackon Earth.Many ran out of their homes screaming while others packed up their cars and fled.
Though what the radio listeners heard was a portion of OrsonWelles' adaptation of the well-known book, War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells, many of the listeners believed what they heard on the radio was real.
On a dark and cold Monday evening it seems a similar thing happened in Coventry. A single tweet led to mass panic in Coventry. Grown men seemed to be crying, others were angry, some feared for their children.
Again alien abduction was to blame. The East Anglian species from Norwich had kidnapped a certain James Maddison and meltdown ensued.
There were more threads started than Maddison has had hot dinners (or league games come to that). Some posters even threatened to go and follow him as he seems more important than the team
So now the dust has settled (well some normality has returned)was this a case of mass hysteria or abduction?
Well some people seemed to think that the fee was a “disgrace” –but no one actually seemed to know what he fee was. Curious. It seems that thefee for some was never going to be enough. I think the highest quoted on here I have seen is £20 million which almost equals the fees Newcastle paid for two internationalswith Premier League experience. Some quote the fee MK Dons received from Tottenham but that was for a player with far more experience. Strange.
Another odd thing appears to be that the clubs is weaker. Yet 24hours on we have two more players and the services of the superstar we have sold (who sometimes was relegated to the bench) remains to play until the end of the season. Gets more disturbing.
Strangely Sisu seem to have pocketed the cash. I say strange because if that was the case then surely those posting would be happy to see the fee aslow as possible. After all it all goes to the Cayman Islands anyway doesn’t it ?Nothing goes to poor old TM. Odd.
A few old faces returned pitchforks in hand. Some regular posters resorted to more typical type. I almost expected Sky Blue John and Bigfatron to make an appearance.
So what actually happened? Well some guy who has played a fewgames for a League One team was sold to a Premier League Team for what seems alot of money. Oh and the team that sold has always sold its best players (not that this player is necessarily one of the best as I doubt he will be Player of the Year)
Orson Welles would have been proud of that tweet……………….
