The Past Year - Tony Barrett

[Section_31]

Could be one interpretation T. Another is that he's emboldened because he doesn't believe they have much time left.

 

That's what I think, I doubt Barrett would see any need in belting out propoganda as some kind of last ditch attempt to push them over the edge, because most of the fans that count already know the score anyway (certainly the ones that read the Echo do anyway)

I think it's just a case of them backing the winning side, the yanks situation is untenable IMO.

Don't you find it odd though?The way Pinky and Perky handled DIC first time around.DIC were left and made to feel second best and that was down to them two.Thats why I surprised about this DIC stuff and them still being interested.The likes of big Al don't offer twice especially the way they were felt to be humilated by us.Just dose'nt sound right to me at all.But if there is truth in it then Coco and Moores would be out before the ink dried.Now can you see Coco helping to basically lose his job?

The information passed through was :

 

That Moores initially set a deadline of December 2006 for the deal to be done with DIC. He was particularly concerned about the rising steel prices and the rising cost of the stadium. DIC dragged their feet, which allowed G&H to come up with a bid. They bid more money. While Moores didn't have to accept a higher bid, as Chairman of the board he had a fiducary duty to the shareholders to obtain the best price possible. DIC withdrew.

 

Moores realises he's fucked up, and so has started to assist DIC behind the scenes. Both he and Parry are the only board memebers who would not sign off on the whole of the debt being palced against the club. If they were sacked from the board the whole of the debt would be placed against the club.

 

DIC have always retained an interest in buying the club, because they see it as an outstanding investment if run and marketed properly - something G&H don't have the resources to do.

 

I don't know how true any or all of this is, but I doubt it would have been passed on unless there was a lot of substance to it, because the person who passed it on would be in a shitload of trouble if they were to be found to making it up.

Tony Barrett has got a new job with the club. Glad to see him land on his feet after the principled stand he took against the Times.

[lifetime fan]

The term poisoned chalice springs to mind.

[TheHowieLama]

I think Tony would struggle to put the last years events into words.

 

 

Or at least less than 25000 words.

[Arl arse]

I like Tony, he's always been a top bloke and an honest Journalist.

[rubble-rouser]

He'll be nothing if not honest. A proper fan, but a pretty  difficult job. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Hope he's got a dog with inflammatory bowel disease to post through all those letterboxes.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Has he left yet?

[Priory Doctor]

Spot on.

Far superior to the  journalists who have followed him on our local paper since his time.

[El Dangerous]

He is excellent and a rare find in the industry he works in. Hates Hodgson too.

 

What happened at The Times?

What happened at The Times?

He quit because they were the only paper alongside the rag to not put the Hillsborough inquiry verdict on their front page.

[bonesman]

Haha, poor lad only started this week didnt he?.

'Tony mate, I'm sure you get a lot of these but I'd appreciate if you could answer mate, have you heard anything about Keita/Van Dijk/Suarez/Silva/Costa mate?'

[Lee909]

If we dont re-sign Suarez and get VVD and Keita there will be hell to pay

I reckon if we signed those players, we'd have a perfect opportunity for a blown opportunity to win the league and finish second.

[Jairzinho]

If we signed Suarez some of the hysterical fannies on here would still complain, etc.

The only Luis Suarez we'll be signing is the 82 year old version,who was brilliant in his day but 50 years ago!
