[ourbob]

...Anyone heard owt from him?

He's missin out on the good times bless him.

 

[Leonardo Green]

still on twitter

 

[s4-blade]

He's been very vocal on twitter, following from afar.

Look at it this way, if it wasn't for him fucking up with the Twatkins appointment, we'd never have stumbled into Wilder. Thank you Jim.

 

[Leonardo Green]

I can assure you that Jim didn't appoint adkins. He was a figure head and a mouth piece and not much more.

Jim is still very passionate about the blades, regularly mentions us on social media, and still engages with fans. Wish he'd post on here (I imagine he almost certainly does, under a pseudonym).

He is on here - JimPhipps , don't think he comes on very often though.

He probably lurks while logged out or indeed has another account.

He was chairman at the time

Surely we can criticise him for one or the other?

 

[GrayBlade]

Credit to him, he still cheers us on every game even though he's no longer involved.

He's gone up in my estimation.

Yeah absolutely sounds good!

 

[Lard_Lad]

I always liked him and he took a lot of unfair flack, there's no way he's to blame for last season, it was nice to have a link between the fans and the board, he provided that. Also loved his passion, could tell he did his homework before coming to the club and fully immersed himself into Sheffield United.

 

[Leonardo Green]

He was chairman at the time

Joint chairman with McCabe, appointed by his boss, the prince, the other joint chairman.

Hang on. So who actually is William Henry Foulkes ?

Jim is an absolute gentleman who fronted up to the media and supporters during one of the most challenging periods we have all experienced for a long time. He was a tad naive with his comms style but his heart was always in the right place. Glad he got over the worst of his health problems; would love to see him at the Lane again, preferably for a promotion party

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Jim is living in Utah. I've offered to buy him a beer if he's ever in town.

 

[1889]

Utah, well that explains it, with three wives he's never going to get time to post on here

True. True. And True. I read here, but don't post. This might be my first post.

He's a good man. I wish him all the best.

Genuinely loves SUFC by the way, he's a Blade for life now.

Welcome home Jim.

Everybody thought Madkins was a good appointment and we were all wrong.

You would really enjoy a few beers with Tufty - he was, is and always will be One of Our Own.

Once a Blade - you really do understand.

Magic!! Now that's a long time ago.

UTB

Welcome, Jim. A proper Blade by adoption and a thoroughly good guy.

Y'all come back now, as they say....

❤⚔.

 

[Sean Thornton]

He was chairman at the time

He was the Princes eyes and ears and his advisor. I doubt he appointed Adkins, who most thought was a good appointment at the time in any case.
