El Abd Free To Leave Club

[ROSM]

It's a good job the real fans didn't keep quiet about Archer and Bellotti then.

a huge difference between a board making us homeless and a player being released I would think.

True but anything which may be disruptive whether it be happenings with the players (or not as the case may be) or in the club itself is better in the open than secretive.

TWO DAYS later? I knew WEEKS earlier.

But I kept the news to myself.

Was that bad?

Well done you.

I just thought people would be interested.

Apparantly the final straw was when Dean Cox said he was off over El Abd's latest outburst.

- at one time many believed/hoped Bellotti was the man to bring back the good times to the Albion.

Indeed. He wasn't always chased from the ground. I had a very nice chat with him in the rain/snow on the terrace a Hull when he first arrived.

Not necessarily so. With the state of modern communications, it is sometimes the case that getting stuff out into the open can itself be more disruptive than is good for the well-being of the Club.

We all know, for example, that some footballers' agents, friends or family deliberately plant rumours in order to set balls rolling.

Fans need to treat some of this stuff as the rubbish it is.

How do you know what is rubbish and what isn't?
I would have also thought that modern communications mean fans are more informed about the goings on at their club.

Exactly.

This is the dilemma. All I'm suggesting is that we keep our wits about us and don't take all "information" at face value.

At the time of McGhee's departure, it was still worth reading what Andy Naylor had to say. But once people realised that McGhee was feeding him a particular angle on the story, what he had to say took on a different slant.

For example.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Agreed but I don't think it should stop people posting, or passing on information they have.

A bit like how the tabloids handle stories, people can take posts with a pinch of salt and make of them what they want.

I think that's fair enough, so long as everybody is prepared to come clean about how reliable their sources are, and make the distinction between the 'I have it on VERY good authority that....' and the 'I heard, right, that.....'

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I had this on very good authority.

 

[Trigger]

Someone who knows where he lives told me that a flat in his block went up for sale yesterday!

Now that's what I call a proper story.

as i did at Plymouth on the terracing one cold windy new years day.

I have it on good authority that Leon Knight is a horrible little shit.


Source ?


Everyone who has ever met him or read what he has to say in the papers.

 

[Mrs Coach]

On the occasions I've met him, he's been a thoroughly decent bloke and very kind to Lil' Coach. Everyone is capable of outbursts through frustration (um.... just about EVERYONE on here at some point?) and I dont think he's deserving of the witch hunt there's been on some threads. He's HARDLY Leon Knight is he?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Did he not also have an issue with McShane and the Elphicks last season?

Something about a game of cards I believe...

SNAP!!!

Indeed and Gary Elphick Senior.
