This person is obviously an experienced pundit with a wealth of football knowledge having spent many years in the professional game. Seems to disagree with the majority of those posting on this forum.... or is he just controversial on purpose to wind people up ? The word "ego" springs to mind.

Well the only way to boost someone’s ego is to make a thread about them

Mate, with all respect, i'm just a happily married 72 year old man - who on occasions enjoys dressing up as an owl. Please leave me out of this.

Tbf we all deep down quite like sparring with him. He’s the pantomime villain if you like. Think the forum would miss his presence.

Grendel = an intention seeker

Loves the attention and feeds of it all. Not that I am a psychiatrist or anything. !!!

Maybe Grendel isn't one singular one man or woman but a secret underground network of posters, all with access to the same login.

Ever thought about that?

Or him and DOD are the same person. The constant spats are to just throw us off the scent.

Well since you ask procdoc....!

I will try to be balanced.

My honest take is that his knowledge of what is happening on the pitch isn't the best (to be fair most of us including myself pretend to understand far more as to what is happening on the pitch than we actually do), his sometimes vindictive targeting of players he doesn't like doesn't do him any favours (probably the biggest problem I have with him), and the ongoing need to doubt Robins after a couple of defeats - it's sometimes painful. As is the fact that he can never see another viewpoint but he's not the only one - just more extreme.

On the other hand, it's excellent that he doesn't resort to personal abuse of other posters - a lesson for quite a few of us there - myself included. And he's clearly passionate about the club and knows a lot about the history which is very impressive. And I don't think he's adopting a persona or even trying to be controversial - he believes in what he says. And from time to time his responses are very intelligent and make me laugh - he should use that humour more. So kudos all round to Grendel for that.

He must be an interesting character in real life!

Don't really have a clue and not really interested.

Just remember......its all a game and don't take it to seriously.

Knowledgeable about the financial side of things and a bit on UK history clearly a bright guy, that enjoys both light hearted and dark-bittered wind up. Let's himself down hugely with his hatred of left of centre women MPs/ and zenophobic towards all our neighbours....Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France. He loves a personal vendetta, and wish I had a pound for all the times he acts like a bully and mentions GA. His hysterical defence of Boris, the Tory party, GB news, anti-vaxxers, Sir Niggle Garage, Brexit, Russia, Trump, ReesMogg, tax avoiders is where his comedy talent shines through best . Comes across overly defensive and never understood his propensity to enjoy deliberately trying to antagonise upset and embarrass fellow cov fans...that's just weird. Not sure he truly believes most of the crap he spouts. Not actually sure he is that interested in football or CCFC and I think he still doesn't appreciate all that Mark Robins has achieved.

He’s been one of the biggest critics of anti-vaxxers on the covid threads.

I'm kind of with Nick here, I don't think threads on individual posters are a good thing.

Personally though, just to offer the alternative view, I think he's an unnecessarily unpleasant and endlessly arrogant low level troll.

He rarely posts more than a couple of sentences, and then usually deflects or resorts to scattergun personal attacks when pinned on detail.

Reminds me of Boris, now I think of it, unpleasant chap who tries to hide behind a thin veneer of intellect. Stays on 'ignore', for me I'm afraid.

Edit: Should add, other opinions may differ, which is absolutely fine. I'm sure plenty of people don't much care for me either!
