Guest Heneage Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I must admit having met the guy this week, Hughton just seems too nice for this job. Very probably. The guy I was shadowing said he's just too nice to tell Ashley what anyone else would. And in a way you begin to feel sorry for him, because Journalists chuck him some real curve ball questions, and he never moans, he never says his job is hard or anything like that.

Incognito Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 at the ppl holding someone in 'high regard' for picking up a more than decent wage for something they're not capable of. What a martyr. So, if this is the criteria for how much you're allowed to like someone in football... should we have looked at Alan Shearer (as player) with a stern face, nodding our heads with bleak appreciation? After all, he was on £50,000 a week so he should have been performing like that - hardly a hero for goodness sake. Anything less and it's not really good enough and an injustice. .....? It doesn't work like that. We know what people earn in football; it's something us mere mortals have got to put to the back of our mind. I'm not considering that whatsoever. I like the guy because whilst: he knows he's out of his depth, we know he's out of his depth, the players know he's out of his depth, he's got stuck in - kept a cool head and simply got on with it. Not forgetting he's been here since Allardyce - he's seen it all, but regarless of that, he's done his (and other people's) jobs with no fuss whatsoever. It warmed the heart a bit seeing him celebrate the way he did when Duff scored. He loves this club and badly wants to do well for us, you can see that and i tip my hat to him for that. Agreed with all of this until "he loves the club".....he loves the club employing him and paying him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedudeabides Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Freddy got sent packing tail between legs, Ashley would rather keep it than deal with Freddy. Shepherd and Moat are next door neighbours, I simply don't believe that he is not involved in some way in the Moat bid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Would hope that if it was true, then it shows that a takeover is close, or that there is a good chance Moat will get the go ahead from the bank. If not I would have expected Ashley to have already taken the club off the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 What gets me is if Seymour Pierce have recommended Barry Moat to Ashley as a viable owner how is it Moat is going to banks begging for money ffs i thought any bidder had to prove they had the funds to purchase the club and finance it as a going concern ,totally shocked by this if its true so can anyone educate us on this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the wrong end of the stick dear boy how has selling players got anything to do with buying the club ,selling the players would make the club a better proposition to buy with the high earners off an money from transfers paying off the overdraft and outgoings in wages dropping which has got nothing to do with proving you had the finances to buy the club ,so how can Seymour Pierce recommend Moat if thats the case.

Dave Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I find it strange that people still seem to believe it's 'mega rich trillionaire or nothing'. If some Arab wanted us as a plaything it would have happened months ago. We're now down to the bare bones, whoever buys us isn't going to be able to throw £30m of their own cash at the club each transfer window. Run correctly though it can (and will) generate decent funds of its own accord, you only have to look at Shepherd's tenure to see that. And yes, I know he overdid it in the end. I've absolutely no idea whether Moat will be any good for this club, but give me local committed owner with previous and vested interest in the club over fucker who couldn't give a shit any day of the week.
