[Albion] Paul Barber and Ian Holloway on Talksport

Classic O’Jays song this;

All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)
(They smile in your face)
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers (back stabbers)

Personally i didnt ....we had chances in that first leg we didn’t take..had a feeling that would come back to haunt us.

Felt the same, but I still maintain we played well for 75 minutes.
Speroni’s save from Barnes often gets overlooked but to me that was the game changer.

Your point in extracting lyrics from an old song?

It's rhetorical-don't bother.

Nobody has been stabbed in the back. Our previous manager was moved on because he was deemed to be not good enough to take the club forward. Far from being stabbed in the back, Hughton had more than enough time to prove he was. He wasn't. When attacking threats like Solly March are told to not go too far forward there was only one outcome.

Absolutely, stabbing him in the back would have been publicly backing him after Bournemouth then sacking him after Cardiff. Additionally, I think Hughton knew, I'm sure there were discussions in the board room that told him they would look to replace him once the season has ended. The Telegraph's Audio Football Club podcast on the day he got sacked mentioned that he sounded like he knew it was his last press conference.

Maybe because in training he was attacking and setting up goals, but when the match was played he was asked to defend.

Shirley in training they would be practising the roles they would be required to play.

Interspersed by 6 minutes of ads and traffic news, every 15 minutes.

A waste of precious time listening to all that dirge. I unhooked myself and now listen to music.

H&J are OK and have some really interesting guests, plus they seem to be about the only weekday daytime show on there that dares to deviate from the football (the Premier League). For the rest, I sometimes just end up sticking it on and listening to it in the background, or it's because I'm not in the car long enough to be arsed to change it.

 

[Nobby]

Ha ok.

Ok ok. Nearly

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

If you were paying Barber's wages would you see his frequent media appearances as a worthwhile use of his time, other than building "Brand Barber"? Is there a benefit to the club in having him (or anyone else) trying to justify Hughton's sacking (yet again)?

Being transparent is seen as a good thing by most fans.

Plenty of fans of other clubs bemoaning never being told anything by their club or owners. Which in turn often leads to resentment and a dissatisfaction of those running the club.

Full Interview now up.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Now talking (or will be) about a statement Chris had made via the LMA re his sacking

Exactly. At no point was he ever given the dreaded 'vote of confidence', and the club never said anything in public and then did the complete opposite.

The Telegraph podcasters may have thought that it sounded that way, but I understand there had been no warning and it was a complete surpise to him.

That’s the way I read it too

Ian Holloway is one of the biggest twats to be involved in football. And this interview reaffirmed that.


First he attacked potters background at Swansea, by not being 'Glittering' to which Barber had to remind him that many of Swansea's premier league players were sold.
Then he thought he was making a good point that CH never got relegated and only got better.

Barber then had to explain to the thick ****, that it was the poor performances of the players on a regular basis, that ultimately led to his dismissal.
Even after explaining that we needed to go in a different direction to take the club to the next stage.

(This was very long and well presented by barber) Even after all that, Holloway just did he usual, I know better attitude, and said it was very Harsh anyway.

Why? They new that as soon as they went on to the pitch the tactic was don't concede. Let them have fun at training.

 

[jessiejames]

Ali J was signed to score and create goals. He did that in Holland more than anyone else last season on right side of a front three with a defensive midfielder and full back behind him. Did he defend much in Holland? Did he ****!

I didn’t see him in his favoured position or system all season. Added to his reputation for being gash in his first season at new clubs, I think it’s unfair for so many people to write him off. I just can’t recall him getting into many attacking positions. He is not a winger, he is not a right/left sided midfielder - perhaps our Harry will play him in his preferred position as a forward in a three on the right side.

I agree with you. Hopefully we see a different AJ
