Missing... presumably buried in bullshit.

... Jim Phipps' Twitter account.

He's gone awfully quiet on there the old " Great communicator" hasn't he?

No better than Charles Green, Terry Robinson or Trevor Birch.

Twats and liars everyone of em.

 

[dingledog]

I'm sure he's not hiding, maybe time difference from Saudi? I'm also sure he is aware of a lot of grumbling from us supporters.

Phipps' job is to tell us all that dog turds are, in fact, delicious Cadbury's Mini Rolls. Some days that is easier than on others. What else do folk expect from him?

That's the risk he takes though with talking to fans via twitter.

Go on a poor run like this and we the fans have a direct avenue to contact someone at the club. If this run continues I would not be surprised to see him deactivate his account for a bit.

 

[JJ Sefton]

His Facebook wall is full of people having a go about the state of the club.

I bet he's ignored everyone of them too.

Both he and the plastic Prince will be gone before 2016. The McCabe Family will be back in full managed decline control soon.

I'm hoping he's busy ringing round the flash buggers we've been to see, whose wasted 4x4s would have probably made it home or managed to tow us closer than our current accommodation of the car stuck in Eckington.

If anyone lives in Eckington, we'd love a cuppa

 

[Woodwardfan]

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Let's be fair, if Phipps was to communicate what he's thinking and how he feels these days, he'd embarrass his manager, and that would be no good to anybody.

He's confirmed the manager will be backed with cash in January. In effect we are all in a state of limbo until we get the new players. The current squad knows that all too well and the fact we need reinforcements is down to the manager and his mediocre signings since the end of last season.

The unwritten sub-plot says something like " things have not gone to plan and we are bailing out our manager because we still believe in him. ( maybe not as much as 6 months ago, but we do nevertheless. Our hopes now lie in the lottery of the play-offs and that was not in the original script. The prince is not too happy in truth, but he understands and will be patient. There will be a review of performance at the end of the season, but we feel we have a quality manager and do not disregard his cup achievements).

He will pop up if you swear on his Facebook page

Phippin' 'Eck!

 

[Bladesway]

Bit harsh HG but within your statement lies some truth. Watched Philips bumble through the Ched situation and I'm sorry but the mark of a good communicator is to talk to the fans as much when things are shit as you do when the sun's shining. The sun isn't shining but everyone's in hiding. Even a tweet apologising for those poor bastards stuck in the snow following another disappointment would be nice.

Oddly for a club called United it's amazing how quickly people isolate the manager when things go a bit wrong. You can feel everyone at board level jumping in the lifeboat leaving Clough to sink or swim. It's poor.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

This surely exposes him as not being a true Blade. The majority of Blades only ever pipe up when we're soon shit. Get this charlatan out of our club!

Big Jim is on Facebook as we speak.

 

[Jonboy60]

I'm guessing NC doesn't read Jims Twitter account, or goes on F/B nor will he feel the need to look at threads on sites like this. But I hope he's aware that Jim Phipps as told all and sundry that he as money to spend in the jan transfer window, we're all waiting with baited breath. Well maybe not all.

As will the club debts, not written off just moved to another account for now.

Has he mentioned anything about the reliability of the fax machine ??

Been there and seen it all before having supported the Blades for 50 years now.

Don't hold your breath for January ...... possibly a couple more lightweight, ineffective free transfers or loans and LOTS of bullshit excuses about how many offers we have put in for Championship players.

At the moment we are sleepwalking into a disappointing mid-table obscurity with the rosy glow of a decent Cup run to distract us from the very real and obvious deficiencies in the squad and the tactics.
