PURSLOW - THE BLITZ IS ON... WE NEED YOUR HELP!

[Durango]

So where were we? I'm a bit lost now.

Tuesday.

Imminent.

In the spirit of apology, as you've apologised, so can I.

 

All of what you say about our roles is correct but you can imagine the frustration when our own members think we're the wrong side of something without a shred of evidence to the contrary.

 

Graham I can image the frustration, however you also have to realise the union has a public perception not just by what you say and do on the official site, but through the actions of everybody connected with it, thru tv, the likes of these forums, thru things like the demo earlier in the month and tue comments made in papers etc. Ant has touched on something where he's said he felt the union was making it personal where purslow is concerned, it's something I have felt too and something I've talked to mates about. The union have to manager that situation otherwise we end up where nobody trusts anybody.

Just thought the Christian thread needed bumping because of the last couple of days, maybe so that some of you people can post a bit of well deserved praise to our lovable M.D.

Purslow repeatedly emphasized that LFC would follow the model of Arsenal and Man Utd by sticking with one manager through thick and thin. He said that Rafa was central to LFC's development plan. The plan was to build a strong squad in the short-term by acquisition, and a conveyor belt of young talented players in the long-term through a stronger Academy. LFC would not be deterred by short-term set-backs. It would back Rafa. Within months Purslow was briefing against Rafa to Bascombe and other hacks, encouraging senior players to gossip about him, and usurping Rafa's role in the transfer market.

 

I think SOS deserve praise for rumbling Purslow so early. I was one of those who congratulated SOS (Graham Smith) for earning a meeting with Purslow and asking him good questions, but I criticized them for reporting his critical remarks about the owners verbatim because it seemed like a breach of his trust.

 

I said that I did not think Purslow was a liar but that he had made a mistake in speaking so frankly on the record to SOS (even though he would probably say it was not on the record).

 

However, Purslow abused his employer's trust by speaking about them in the way he did. (Rafa for example never stooped that low even while he vigorously fought his corner for the team). Purslow also breached SOS trust by publishing his own version of the minutes without SOS agreement. (I realize he could say the same about them).

 

At the time, it was as though SOS had other reasons not to trust him. If so, I did not know what those reasons where. It doesn't matter now because SOS were right. He is untrustworthy.
