PFA Union representative Gordon Taylor

[grahamlfc]

PFA Union representative Gordon Taylor, a true fat cat who earns a salary of £450,000 per year and the highest paid union official in this country, condemned Luis Suarez almost from the onset, even though he is supposed to represent ALL professional footballers in this country.

 

What many people do not know is that Taylor is also a boyhood Manchester United supporter and also a personal friend of United manager Ferguson & former PFA Union representative Gary Neville. Hardly going to represent Suarez in the correct manner was he??

 

Liverpool FC have been well & truly shafted from a great height by a kangaroo court who convicted Suarez on the grounds of probability.

 

It is now imperative the LFC heirarchy employ a top legal brain, in case any other issues arise in the future, and not be represented by some small time legal non-entity that resulted in LFC losing the Suarez case almost from the word go.

He speaks with a drawling manc accent.

 

Loooong, draaaawn oooout seeenntteenceeees.

 

What a horrible grating noise they make.

[ngogswilly]

Just add it to the endless list of things we should have highlighted but never did

[Rafa's Peggy's]

He's not a union rep and the PFA are not a union. They are what they say they are - an 'association'. Unions exist to enter into struggle with authority to gain advancements for workers. I'm not sure why the PFA exists.

When you get attacked by thugs and don't defend yourself you will keep getting attacked.. liverpool 2011/2012.

Both Neville brothers are members of the management committee.

What does the PFA do? It's a nothing entity. If we were still in the days of tuppence ha'peny wages, jumpers for goalposts and our best players getting the bus home after the match with the fans - while the Directors enjoyed cigars and brandy in the boardroom as they counted their money - then fair enough, let's have a PFA. Under those circumstances the players would need an organization to fight for them and represent their needs and help them to get a fair shake.

 

The PFA is an anachronism of a bygone era. Gordon Taylor is the luckiest man in football. 450K a year for what exactly? Go away!

Stevie G or Harry's brief please.

 

Your point about Taylor's history is well made. But we were incredibly ill-advised not to accept his offer of mediation prior to the FA hearing.

[bigal]

Posted this elsewhere but I'll repeat it anytime

 

Gordon Taylor is so far up Slur's arse that he has turned into a hemmorhoid competing for space with Bruce, Webb, Shreeves and all the other piles. Except he keeps emitting little farts of noise instead of words. He should be scratched until he bleeds painfully

[Anubis]

Look at the way Taylor carries himself, the way he speaks. He sounds like a snake speaking English. He's got something dark and damaging in his background, I'd wager. We just need to find out what it is and drag it, kicking and screaming, into the light.

[gkmacca]

He got paid so much by Murdoch for the phone hacking case he probably couldn't care less about anything these days. (Imagine hacking that boring bastard's phone - it would send you into a bloody coma!)

It must have been a slow news day.

Yep lost any support we were likely to get from the PFA when we told them to piss off.

[Whelan]

Have we ever had support from this Man?

 

Going back to Fowler, the was very much against him. Don't forget, he has mediated before in the Harkness and Collymore case so maybe the club felt it was pointless, and that maybe he was pretty pointless?

[Champ]

I have no idea what the role of the organisation is or what he is meant to do. In what kind of other professional association would its leader/spokesperson stand up and publicly castigate individual members?

 

He really is enjoying all of this. Strikes me he doesn't have a fucking clue

[Jack the Sipper]

He's a horrible, self-interested cunt, and I've held that view long before he started slating us and Suarez in the media.

 

Every time I see and hear that cunt on my screen or radio I feel physically sick. Little worse in my book than feigning a righteous attitude. Admit you're a cunt and be done with it.

[usernameunknown]

I want to beat the fuck out of him.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Well all we need to know is that he supported English players in previous racism cases and advised the abused to move on.

[Russ Atmosphere]

How dare this asshole talk about ethics in football. He was paid £700000 by News International to keep quiet about his phone being hacked. Is it ethical to be paid a small fortune to be, an albeit legal, part of a criminal cover-up? I can't believe he doesn't get called out on this anytime he has the impudence to utter his guff into a camera.

[Rorschach08]

The man's a grade A tit.

 

He actually came out in support of Lucas Neill when he broke Carraghers leg in 2003 with one of the biggest shithouse tackles you'll ever see

LFC employed the legal firm used by the PL. The whole thing has been a PR disaster but I'm not sure how much we can blame on the lawyers. Apparently, a good deal of our defence was not referenced in the 115 page document produced to explain the commission's decision. That document exists to support the decision rather than give a balanced view of what happened.

 

What I would like to see now is a succinct document, available on the interweb thingy, that paints the background, Fergie's agenda and what happened from LFC's perspective so I can send it to the great unwashed who are quite happy to believe what our lazy journos print without any great questioning.

 

I am not the man to do this but I'm sure there are a number on here who are.

[Biscao]

Seriously?

 

This case is baffling.

[aws]

You know how you can take a shit and flush perfectly satisfactorily a hundred times but then for no obvious reason the next time you do it a turd will come bobbing back to the top? The phenomenon is known in scientific circles as Taylor's Law.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Here's the time Taylor got grumpy about Alan Smith being suspended for a game despite Smith having been arrested by police.

This just about covers it for me too.
