There was more truth in this than any of the absurd claims that ‘99% of supporters are behind you Dave!’

Grappling for grains in a sack of s***.

[Deereyme66]

Some do.

You have no shame or contrition. That’s not a good look.

Excellent piece. Hopefully that well and truly puts paid to him attempting to present an alternative BS version of events on any platform in the future.

Violent lot those internet spies. Not enough field work. Pent up anger.

There’s unhealthy and there’s critically ill, near end of life, etc

To get the non playing payroll higher than the players again?

A good accountant, probably necessary after the state your Ilkeston buddy’s big pal left the club’s finances in.

Ten Haag – about his level.

I don’t think the Trump lawyers analogy is a good one either. I think Man City are more likely to deploy the Trump victimisation tactic if they get rightly and appropriately punished! ‘Infamy! infamy! they’ve all got it…’

[Deereyme66]

Should be interesting to see the verdict and punishment, and if it’s comparable to Evertons. I suspect it won’t be.

Even if it didn’t translate directly to huge amounts of cash, it was still a good effort judging by how many comments he got from Liverpool fans. Supporters endeavours like his deserve some applause and encouragement.

Yes, he did really well, plus the winner was a Liverpool fan from the US who donated the £250 prize back to the club.

I’ll take a look at that at some point. I think if you’ve been famous / led the high life in cultural circles, particularly during the rock n roll excesses of the 70s, it must be mentally challenging to adjust to an average life with no celebrity status and dwindling cash, unless you have a focus on the next stage off your life (bit like planning for retirement, so I hear). Gazza, for instance, clearly had no plan post football. On the subject of music and 70s excess, I would highly recommend the doc ‘Squaring the Circle’ about the history of record sleeve designers Hipgnosis. Fascinating, whether you like the music and artwork or not. On Netflix or NOW / Sky.

Interesting anecdote btw. People like that can be entertaining but also a feckin pain on the neck to live with. Had my share of those in my younger days. Really couldn’t be arsed now I’m much older though. The quiet life and relative normality for me these days.

May have mentioned in the past I once lived in the same house as the drummer in this video for a short while. Luckily it was a house of bedsits so it was possible to lock the door when necessary, apart from one time he was hiding in my room from his bat shit crazy girlfriend and when she came looking for him she forced the door open and bedlam ensued. He was a nice guy himself, but his glory days were well over by then and he was a chronic alcoholic (died a few years later about 50 years old as I recall). He was a talented drummer though with some mad stories…

Edit: just checked, only 40 when he died. Looked older tbh. Sad demise and end. What a waste.

[Deereyme66]

I actually like that track. Reminds a bit of Slint, Mogwai or something along those lines. I assume you’re saying you once lived with a chap from this band and not Ruts Siderite?

[Deereyme66]

‘A bit classier’ than the Tavern. Regulars with four fingers and one thumb on each hand?

[Deereyme66]

[Deereyme66]

Hope so, though the prospect of seeing IFA’s sweaty backside on here is nothing to look forward to.

[Deereyme66]

That should drum up trade. These claims are rarely fulfilled. Wasn’t someone offering to run around GP wearing only a T-shirt with Mr Dave’s face printed on it if he hadn’t left by the start of the season?

[Deereyme66]

Agree with all that WG, though I’d throw in managing a squad during an unimaginable tumultuous and ultra extraordinary time plus one club’s remarkable success (Tamworth) in Dean’s favour. It may well be ‘the finest squad of players to ever compete at this level with the most support’ but it doesn’t guarantee anything. I’m really not a fan of his either but maybe he can do it. Fingers crossed.

[Deereyme66]

Only seen Rene advocating it. I’ve no idea of his coaching skills, abilities, qualifications or desire to coach.

[Deereyme66]

Certainly an intense gothic sounding piece that one!

[Deereyme66]

Why is it a ‘no brainer’?

[Deereyme66]

He was, then he turned the other cheek
