McWobblegob's new book

[Paddy1]

He has. Cheaper ticket pricing that helped increase the gates. Decent ground. It seems odd though that some of those those who don’t like Arabs now see him as a better bet than they previously did.

Sweaty Bob and Fat Ted in the pub have a lot to answer for

Never said I like Arabs and am certainly not racist to suggest otherwise.

Also, people are allowed to not be a member of Kevs fan club

 

[Paddy1]

My ‘very good people’ are exactly that. And not in any way biased. I’m not getting into libel shit or costing people their jobs but it’s not something I’ve made up. Believe me or not. I really don’t give a rats bum!

And not saying all rich people make money as a means of proof is my evidence - which is actually quite compelling otherwise they wouldn’t be rich?!

You don’t know me, my wealth etc like I don’t yours but I hand on heart don’t know many at the top of their game who haven’t bent the rules for their own game

And meant gain

 

[8lade]

Look, let’s agree to disagree. To some he leaves a legacy, others a bitter taste. He’s gone like our days playing at the Lane once he’s boxed us in

MCCabe's failing has been his attempt to oust the prince, he had built United into a viable business his effort to get rid of the prince would leave Prince Abdullah out of pocket to the tune of £20m so of course the battle was fought. Winning the court case was just transferring the stress from one problem to another as we've seen in that the prince has mortgaged United to the max and we were in some heavy duty shit had we not got promoted and we get to where we are today.
In that one moment McCabe set fire to the castle he had built but had he not taken ownership when he did, where would we be now?

So no 'proof' then, but a random anonymous bloke on the internet assures me he is right.

Life's too short....

The figures l suggested are from documentation lodged at Companies House over the years and filed accounts. Feel free to question them or provide details of how he made a profit.

 

[Paddy1]

I never said he made a profit directly from ‘SUFC’. I said the off shoots he purchased for SH have/will

Word is, the book isn't in binding, there are limited edition copies stapled, treasury tagged and slide on bound...

In other news, the SUFC stationary cupboard is suspiciously bare.

Which ones?

Which ones?

This is getting really, really boring now. I’ve said my opinion and where he’s gained so not going over and over.

You obviously have a strong affiliation with him which is fair enough. I personally don’t and didn’t believe most of what came out of his mouth.

Feel free to carry on his defence (and I concede you may have some incite) however it doesn’t hurt to take off the rose tinted specs and take on board what others may say

No affiliation, no rose clouted specs, knew the shit would be hitting the fan after the 2021 accounts and our PO semi loss, just try to stick to provable facts.

Dont feel bad about being unable to back any of your claims up. You aren’t alone on that score. Do remember though, you claimed a profit on a Hungarian development that never happened so it’s not unreasonable to think that there’s some pie in your sky!

I stood corrected on the Hungarian development but the fact it was seen as a potential development opportunity for SH says enough. Let’s forget about the other purchases of land SH made off the back of Utd as well shall we?!

I don’t profess to be the master of all knowledge, like yourself, who just quotes the financial statements from SUFC whilst ignoring the gains made off the back of being in the position KM was and the opportunities this awarded him for his other business

I’ve read this “on the back of SUFC shit for years. Oddly no one has ever been able to provide an example let alone proof. You’ve accepted the facts re Hungary. Could you have got anything else wrong? The Fradi “deal” isn’t exactly hidden on the dark web.

The accounts are submitted to government bodies and football authorities and audited by professionals, not some United concoction to convince people of the narrative.

Are you Kev? Or Simon? Come on admit it

 

[nopigfansintown]

Far too intelligent and knowledgeable for my liking Simon McCabe! Let me keep thinking he’s a c***! I don’t doubt what you say but I DO know from very good people he didn’t walk away out of pocket. I also know (as you’ve said yourself) he purchased those plots of land around the ground. These should have been bought by the club to secure future development plans and income - instead he’s now got a strangle hold over this. Any true ‘Blade’ or chairman should not personally own them

If the Prince had his way McCabe would still own all SUFC related property, not just the bits he does now. The court judgement partly found in McCabe's favour - the property HAD to be bought which it has been, presumably with the club's generated cash from the PL. We'd be renting from McCabe if that hadn't happened and the Prince got his way. McCabe got the money for the property due to the court judgement forcing it, and the money for the 50% shares he had left in the non property side which the Prince also bought . The first 50% of these shares he swapped for investment in the club when we were in L1. The money that went in his account at the end of this amounts to a sizeable loss given his overall input inthe club imo.

The original deal with the Prince seems to have been written so badly that it lost McCabe the club on a technicality whilst allowing him to keep some of the property on a technicality. What troubles me going forward is whether McCabe will ever relinquish the Kop lands whilst the Prince has anything to do with the club going forward, even part ownership, which he has now stated he wants on SUW. I hope for a full buyout to hopefully remove this issue. McCabe obviously hasn't developed this part of the ground which makes me feel that he is waiting for the Prince's exit to sell to a new owner.

 

[Champagneblade]

Can’t help but think he’d sell a lot more copies if he’d used both these images on the cover and called it “HEY”

It's very "thank you Mr Chansiri" that bottom one, isn't it?

Facts dont matter.

 

[Crackers]

A great title would be "Hey Seth,"

His transfer dealings were terrible and ultimately led us to one of the worst periods in the clubs history.

Just out of curiosity- did his stewardship of the club coincide with the League One wilderness years?

 

[Champagneblade]

Might be an interesting read.

I liked him when I met him. He was welcoming in a warm sort of way.

The match I met him at was QPR away when the Chairman got held at gunpoint so picked a good one.

But he really didn't come over well in the Court Case. He seemed very much his way or the high way. The whole end to his partnership with Prince Abdullah was very unsavory. It seemed to stem from his desire to jettison PA once the team was doing well.

So whilst overall it might be an interesting insight, I am fearful that it's tainted with a sense of injustice from the Court Case where he basically stitched himself up and Prince Abdullah wasn't anywhere near as naive as Kev perhaps thought.

 

[Caveblade]

No coincidence was involved.

 

[I should coco]

We went down in 2011.

Prince joined in 2013 and was involved in appointing Clough, Adkins and Wilder.

We went up in 2017.

So KM had 2 years on his own and there were 4 years of KM/ Prince.

Please feel free to blame it all on KM though, as it better fits the narrative for most people on this thread.

 

[Dkc]

Like Warnock, I can't understand all the vitriol aimed at McCabe. Both men are flawed characters, but both spent many years working hard for the club on limited resources. There were good times and bad times, and ultimately both men left the club in a better state than when they took over. Yet both get slagged off constantly.

I've read Warnock's book and I'll read read McCabe's book. Though 20 quid is a bit steep.

This is the post-fact world we now live in.

“Opinion” trumps facts.

And if you’d actually read what I said you’d have realised I am more than open to being proven wrong. What no one has shown me is any of the SH gains from Utd. All I’ve heard in defence of KM is people quoting club accounts when if you did read properly, I never said McCabe made from Sheff Utd Plc - it was the opportunities being in his position that afforded him chance to make profit for SH. Easy to keep churning out Utd’s accounts

 

[Paddy1]

Again, open for people to dispel this and prove me wrong, but did he not charge Utd astronomical interest on loans/money to the club? I know it’s easy to say but if I was a quid behind him and as big a Blade as he reports, I wouldn’t be charging interest to the club when (as one or two have said) the club was in a financial mess?

You're the one asserting these made up SH gains, so I'd say it's down to you to prove that they existed.

As it stands you and a few mates in the pub have said "ee bah gum that McCabe med a forchoon out er Blayards dint he".
