McCabe Interview

[SoccerCynic]

Apparently KMc has given an interview which will be published tomorrow. He has said that the transfer policies of recent times have been a failure but believes that Speedo will become an outstanding manager. Lets hope that he not only realises the failure of the policy, which many have been highlighting for some time, but does something about it. I cant help thinking this is a re-run of the comments after the end of last season but hope it heralds a change of policy in January. We'll see. BTW Well done last night boys...robbed of 2 points

 

[SotonBlade]

Where will this interview appear?

 

[SoccerCynic]

In the Star I believe...the info came from the Star website so I am assuming that is where it will be....might be on the official site too I suppose

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

It's a James Shield special.

I wonder how often those words have been run in a sentence together?

 

[Wards]

I don't know bob, I often describe him as special

 

[SotonBlade]

Care in the community is a better description!

 

[Darthblade]

James Shield must be (one of) the least effective Journalists in the country. He has never been known to ask a searching question and thats why he gets the interviews. He tees up the easy questions for big Kev etc. and always follows the "party line". In short - utterly spineless just like Radio Sheffield Wed****ay presenters!!
Dont expect any answers to any of the questions we all want answering.

While I'd admit there is obviously a difficult balancing act between getting the information out of the club that the fans are asking for and keeping the club happy, our local media do seem to be far too happy in bed with the club.

This is why I suggested a list of questions put onto this forum to be sent to the board. The club will obviously dodge some questions but I think they would probably answer most.
That said you would have the usual suspects lining up to pick holes in these answers.

With the work Foxy and Linz have been doing with BIFF the fans won't have a better opportunity to get answers from the board.

Prior to the Pompey game I attended (on the sly) a meeting between the Northern Blues SC and David Lampitt (Pompey CEO) at their team hotel. It's a regular thing that's a legacy of Mandaric's Ownership. Mandy even employed the head of the main Pompey SC as a 'fan liaison officer'. No questions were pre-submitted and to be fair Lampitt didn't dodge anything. Wonder if BIFF might manage to organise similar small-scale events such as this?

I was under the impression our fan forum things tended to be pre-vetted - forgive me if I'm wrong!

Are Foxy and Linz part of the BIFF set up?
If they are, you'd have to question how independent they would be given the guff surrounding the fans forums and the often establishment view they've espoused on here.

I've heard McCabe slips them the odd slice of parkin in exchange for their acquiescence. The truth is out there...

 

[Yossarian]

Man, some parkin would be good this christmas.

 

[beightonblade]

ask him if he's prepared to put the freehold of BDTBL in a life rent trust with the club as sole beneficieries !

 

[lenners]

BB, if SUFC holds the freehold then McCabe already essentially has the freehold.
What actually do you think he's going to do with it?

I don't know Len and thats what worries me.

Why don't you ask them? Perhaps they know how to answer a simple question with either a yes or a no. Ask them, you might just find out.

And if you don't like the "often establishment view they've espoused on here" then there's a simple answer to that, too.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Only in your world would this website setting up links with an independent blades fans group raise questions about the webbo's independence from the club.

I think the clue might be in the name.

Give over. I've noticed a minor move towards enlightenment in recent times but they usually toed the party line in the past.
Independent means just that. One of Wednesdayite's problems and their failure to do anything of real substance while their club goes to the wall is that they got too close to the club.

Indeed Shoreham. And it's good to see the education process has begun to get through to one or two on here.
I don't even think you're a lost cause yet.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Who have? Linz and Foxy?

So basically because they don't agree with your minority rhetoric they are now not independent?
This is proven because you can now email a Blades independent fan group via the site. A group who were setup by fans who can pass on all concerns directly to the club and who are totally independant from the club.

Shame on the webbo's for providing then fans with these links.

Hey Lenners do you know about the New World Order and the lizards who are running the planet?

I'm sorry, not having done cryptic crosswords for a while has left me a little rusty. As far as education goes, considering you can't even give a yes or no answer to a simply worded question I'd consider my replies with a little more thought next time. And I've not mentioned the fact that you can't even spell shorehamview or follow the common abbreviation of SV, but hey, they do say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

 

[silverfox]

Foxy and Linz are independent and have the true fans, as they are, in their minds in everything they do. They are real Blades!

They spend a lot of money of their own, and no end of their own time on this forum.

If they didn't do this what would the alternatives be?

I know and that's all that counts.

You lot can say want you want!

 

[dingledog]

Anyone questioning the integrity of either foxy or Linz should really go off and set up their own forum. I find it incredulous, given everything they do for this forum that someone who has made very little positive contribution to our community has the audacity to imply they are less than dedicated genuine supporters.

 

[DuncDisorderly]

I know Len has his points of view, many of which are interesting, many of which I disagree with, but accusing Foxy and Linz of being some kind of club stooges is totally out of order.

Besides there's only two of them... Love ya, Curly...

 

[silverfox]

If Len has any decency and class he should, and would, make an apology right now.

 

[SotonBlade]

Couldn't agree more with that SF. My blood boiled reading what len had to say.

 

[DuncDisorderly]

I think you've answered your own question...

We should give him the chance to say he was wrong and apologise.
