Alan Mullery could become Albion ambassador.

He certainly went down in my estimation after he made those comments. Still our greatest ever manager though.

Pat Saward for me.But Archie Mac deserves more respect than mullery.

 

[Doc Lynam]

I'm hoping for Sir Les Patterson-type-antics from AM. You know: goin' about his ambassadorial duties whilst throwing a handful of Bronze at folk & flicking the V's.

Archie was before my time. I'm just old enough to remember Pat Saward but the Mullery years will always be the best for me.

But my real objection to this "role" is the way he stabbed us fans in the back over the Bournmouth anti Archer protest.

Alan Mullery said: "The players - they don't understand this sort of thing. I mean, you can see the frustration of the supporters about what they've heard today from David Bellotti but it's not the way, as you say, to disrupt a football match itself. If they want to sit outside the ground or sit outside the Goldstone, let them do that but as far as the players are concerned they just want to get back and start playing again."

Hardly backstabbing......

No doubt he'll be able to claim petrol money in addition to a free meal and match ticket

He'll not be driving...the tradition is a pint per anecdote, he should have a dozen in front of him by kick off

Good choice but I am not sure of roles that Football ambassadors carry out.

He's a moron...suits your club to the ground

Ungrateful. He kept your club in the Second Division when you didn't have two pennies to scrape together.

What was so bad about what he said?

If Nathan fkucin' Jones can blag a job, its obviously open house on recruitment round these parts

During the live commentary he criticised the Albion fans for interrupting the game. His comments came over as rather unsympathetic to our cause.

Pretty acceptable, isn't it?

He said the fans had a right to protest but would prefer it if they didn't interrupt the game.

Not wishing to merge threads,but didn't Mullers find God?
Or vice versa?

Yes, he did. There's a Jasper Carrott joke just waiting to be told.

Yes all these years later it sounds acceptable & I can see the point he was making. At the time, fired up with anti-Archer venom, I couldn't.
