If he didn’t see through WHAM… then he’s not a good judge of character.
Disregard the Hilton stuff in and of itself, it’s just part of a bigger picture: Ego.
Elliott’s MO has always been to stand next to power, next to money, next to kudos, next to attention… whoever it is… as he’s smart enough to know standing in that spot make others assume he is powerful, monied and important himself.
Anyone else remember the arse-clenching cringe of him getting himself onto the team sheet of the Wembley 1999 side which re-formed for a charity match? One of the lowest moments at GP, imho.
Wasn’t he also a Swann supporter when it suited?
Think back to the ‘Elliott / Sharpe’ thing 18 months or so ago. It was Sharpe with the actual money!

He certainly wasn’t the only one trying to get his bearings during the nightmare we have gone through.
That’s a bit of a nonsense. He wasn’t trying to get his bearings at all. He knew exactly where he was / wanted to be.

Noticeable: Zero mention of Simon Elliott in Michelle’s singling people out for being crucial to saving the club.

…for the record Elliot’s choice of who to side with over the years has been dreadful.
Simon Elliott is a self-interested idiot who is arrogant enough to think no-one has noticed.

Boo Boo the local Council.. who ever it iz
The council’s so financially cash-strapped they need to sell the stadium – like virtually every council in the country their budget has been cut and cut and cut over the last 14 years to the point that they can’t afford basic services, nevermind valuable community facilities. The real story here is how communities & society have been so royally shafted in the last 14 years. And maybe also why the EFL felt the need to have such a hard & fast rule – especially given the unusual circumstances and the fact the club has played there for more than 40 years….
Never vote Tory.

Hand of God and 2010 goal are clear and obvious – would take 5 seconds then goal awarded. This suspect line drawn around somebody’s foot with a debatable point of release from the player playing the ball in – something has to give with this.
Playing Devil’s advocate, here, don’t you have to take the rough with the smooth? Is creating multiple truckloads of awful VAR decisions (like the one on Sunday) and slowing games right down really worth it, just to ensure a couple of goals given that originally weren’t, or to disallow the Hand Of God? In other words: are the occasional positives of VAR really worth the consistent negatives, as well as the general effect on the pace of games?

Forest aren’t too happy with VAR, they’re in for a hammering from the authorities.
I absolutely applaud them for publicly speaking out and saying they’ve had enough – in the same way that I applaud all of the clubs who have come out and complained about the recently announced changes to the FA Cup.
This quite British attitude of ‘shut up and take it on the chin like everybody else has to’ is a self-defeating trick. Revolution has to start somewhere.
