It’s nonsense but I’ve seen posts on X by Matt Ellis to the sufcofficial account calling certain players “shite” and saying “get them out of the club now”.
Bigging up Iron Hour and the positivity fella are an easy way for Butler to hit back.
For my sins, I listened to the interview. The over the top praise of some supporters and groups and the absence of others was ham fisted IMO. Defended Butler a lot regarding on field matters but personally find that particular ‘tangent’ Ollie referred to as disappointing and misguided. Positivity Dave wasn’t around during the Hilton era. Don’t know what he’d have made of the rightful questioning and criticisms but I’ve got a pretty good idea (see Stuart’s and others reaction and behaviour from that time).
The neglect of fan groups who made the effort to do something when times were bleak and had members who were rightfully sceptical of Dodgy Dave, in favour of some who were happy to slag off anyone critical, is poor. If we all happy clapped like Maw, we would have faced the doldrums. But, more importantly, Maw was more than happy to insult and slam others for scepticism, while never fully making amends. Sometimes people go too far with him, but he speaks as if he is an innocent victim in the division between fans when he was a massive stirrer of the pot.
