Nice Chat With McCabe In The Copthorne Tonight.

[Tyler Durden]

Me: "I can't imagine Chansiri having a drink with the fans if they'd won"

Kev: "Well I'm a fan myself so why wouldn't I?, but nevermind that, how crap must it be to be a Wednesdayite right now, having to go to bed so early?".

I've no interest in discussing his merits or percieved shortcomings. What I will say is that in all my exchanges with the man over the past decade, he has always been approachable and easy to talk to. Not a quality that is very common amongst many football club owners.

Enjoyed tonight, very much.

Our Kev is one of us....

Fuck knows, I was dressed like a lumberjack as well.

It depends on your post/like ratio. You wouldn't get in

I go along with all of that. I've spoken to him several times over the years and the one thing that comes over most of all is that he is 100 per cent a Blade and has tried as hard as he can to make us a club to be proud of.

In doing so , he's made some mistakes along the way and I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it but his heart has always been in the right place, and that's good enough for me.

I've said before to anyone in earshot, what we have now is a precious rarity: From the owner, to the manager, to the captain on the field, a line that runs straight through the club consisting of people for whom this club is closest to their hearts. It won't be like that forever, so relish every sweet moment.

"Bladeyness" not only works, it pays dividends.

Ha. Ya cheeky fucker

Never met McCabe myself but everyone I know who has says he is a warm, open and generous bloke who is always willing to take time to discuss United at length.

I have absolutely no doubt that he wants the best for us and has spent a fortune trying to get us there. Some shit decisions have been made along the way, numerous in fact, and I sincerely wish he would steer clear of microphones but overall I think he is good owner so is therefore as rare as rocking horse shit. On that basis alone I worry who might eventually replace him.

I used to know a bloke, ( now deceased and a pig fan), one of the Tapton Masons even ;( and he too was brought up "around the lane" and he knew KM from an early age - KM is a Blade thru and thru

Oops ! Wait till a certain someone gets to read that ! Not WW 3 again I hope - just settle for pistols at dawn.

The less said about that particular individual the better. I'm happier communicating with people who have pride in this club, rather than those who shit all over it from a position of false elitism.

Would I be right in thinking it was a discussion with him that caused your forum holiday the other week?

Yes that's correct. I accept the punishment, because I did break forum rules, but I regret nothing.

But did he buy you a drink? He's bought people drinks in the past don't you know.

Was in the copthorne myself, good chance I spoke to you as I was swaying and singing my head off at one point. UTB

 

[Jon Slinn]

Saw the Smile on McCabes face as he was coming into the Copthorne last night, Having photographs with the Blades. Fun times - Brilliant.

Copthorne was banging yesterday for those that watched the match there. Great Atmosphere.

For all those who crave foreign 'investment ' they need to realise that most of them are only in it for themselves. They've ruined clubs like Hull and Birmingham and Chancer is using the pigs as a tax write-off. He's indulged Carvalhal when a quick glance at Wikipedia would have told him he's a useless manager, and they've spent millions on has-beens with little or no sell-on value.

In Kevin we trust.

 

[Woodwardfan]

Goodwill and Bon-Ami in S2. Was beginning to think it would never happen again in my lifetime.

Thank you Wilder. Thank you Knill. As always, thank you McCabe.

Thank you Tyler, good to know you are "happier communicating with people who have pride in this club".

 

[Liverpool blade]

McCabe has always been a blade thru&thru. Sure he's made some bad decisions!( he's not the first!). His best decision was to pick up the phone and call wilder!'. That was a stroke of genius!!. He has reunited the club and we're now all together!!. WE ARE UNITED.

That wouldn't be the lumberjack in the Monty Python song by any chance ?

 

[PeteBlade]

I hope you thanked him for the Desso

 

[Tyler Durden]

I hope you thanked him for the Desso

I asked him to get me a pint but he said he'd already spent all his money on crisps.

A heated argument then ensued between the fans about whether or not that was a sound investment

 

[mattbianco1]

Despite the criticism that McCabe gets from some fans. One thing is for sure, he would never plaster the word "MCCABE" across the seats of one of our stands.

No.

The second letter would be a small 'c'.

 

[Rusty view]

No.

More likely to be an East Coast resort....and I don't mean Filey
