Stephen Bettis speaks to local Media

[Foxy]

Stephen Bettis has done some local media today, a proportion of I understand will be on Radio Sheffield tonight from 6pm… just a preemptive thread creation to try and keep reaction to one place rather than a thread each

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Be interesting to hear what he says as it's been a while since we had any update from the boardroom other than leaking stuff to social media accounts

 

[Bath Blade]

Too late!

Don't think it will be subtitled

Don't think it will be subtitled

Sure someone will be happy to summarise/do so for you. I'll be busy trying to get kids fed and to bed though

I can do that, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah'.

 

[Foxy]

I can do that, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah'.

Is that your side when you collar him on the South Stand?

 

[Westran]

Don't think it will be subtitled

[Westran]

I wish he'd hold his hands up and say some things didn't go to plan, rather than the constant defensive, making excuses approach

 

[Yogi]

No surprise that he’s more active than usual given the heat

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

It's interesting he's doing this. Was there any great demand to hear from him?

On Ndiaye:

"A new deal was agreed with Iliman, a new 3 year deal and terms agreed with him and his agent and it was ready to go, Iliman had second thoughts and asked for some more time to consider it and then 24 hours later said he wanted to go and play for Marseille".

On Sander:

"Sander was exactly the same, we got an offer about 5 weeks before we sold him, we turned it down and told them our valuation".

"We'd spoken about a 1 year extension, he didn't want to do a long term commitment, then Burnley came back in with a revised offer, we refused, got 3 or 4 further until they paid our valuation".

 

[BobblesBlade]

I want know why we let Enda Stevens go.

 

[Geordie Blade]

I want know why we let Enda Stevens go.

I read that to the tune of 'Hey Baby' (DJ Otzi)

Heeeeeeeey, hey baby (ooh aah)
I wanna kno-o-o-w (oh oh)
Why we let Enda Stevens go.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

It's interesting he's doing this. Was there any great demand to hear from him?

Does it most seasons tbf. I like hearing from the board about things. No need for daily updates but to give an idea of some of the thinking or things going on is always welcome.

Usual "in discussions" with interested parties re takeover.

Somewhat down the line with a new training ground with a price agreed but that doesn't mean it's a done deal yet. First team would move there with the current set up being turned into a cat 1 for the youth set up and women's side

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

I want know why we let Enda Stevens go.

He was naff

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Good question from Rob.

Statton now part of the modern day trend of referring to "this football club".

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

On Ndiaye:

"A new deal was agreed with Iliman, a new 3 year deal and terms agreed with him and his agent and it was ready to go, Iliman had second thoughts and asked for some more time to consider it and then 24 hours later said he wanted to go and play for Marseille"

Hang on... AFTER SIGNING?! What am I missing here?

 

[Bladesman]

Good to hear we have a site lined up for a new first team training ground and to get the academy to Cat1.

Hang on... AFTER SIGNING?! What am I missing here?

I think he means agreeing rather than signing.

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

I certainly hope he does

"You know that contract I just signed Steve? Changed me mind."

"Fair enough Iliman, just stick it in the shredder on your way out"

 

[Bladesman]

I certainly hope he does

He could also mean that Ndiaye part signed some paperwork that was part of the final contract.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Hang on... AFTER SIGNING?! What am I missing here?

14 day cooling off period?

 

[Loco Blade]

A signed contract is exactly that . How can someone ignore a legal contract . Smells of Radio North Korea this BS . Stop hiding behind Hecky

 

[SUFC Guy]

Did anyone ask him where the god damn pigeons are?
