Chris_R Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I can laugh say his tenure now, and many of the things he said and did, but his time in charge really encapsulated how far we'd fallen and summed up what a circus we'd become. That said, dementia is awful and in later years I've wished him no ill will. He did seem to care, came here and did his best despite time having moved on since he was good enough for what we needed. RIP Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been 15 years but it seems like something out of a completely different era, almost a different lifetime. It seemed like something out of this world at the time, to be fair. Sad news. Just out of respect for the bloke I'd like to think he was already affected by this when he first came to us, as it's the only really acceptable explanation. He was massively more sharp in his early Wimbledon days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I hated him being here but I actually liked him (if that makes sense). He was just a normal bloke with a cartoonish ego and made no apology for who or what he was. Suffered with his health for quite some time.. and it’s a shame that it was dementia that got him.. always thought he’d check out with a massive heart attack. In any case.. RIP Joe.

I'm sure I remember that prompted Ashley to get rid because Joe accepted a 25 million euro bid thought it was pounds and that's why it ended up being only £19 million . Urban myth. Is it really?

buzz Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Both of his roles here are absolute fever dream stuff. Wouldn't even acknowledge how long his contract ran for when appointed manager. Think that comes up in the infamous press conference - "How long's your contract here for?" "None of your fackin' business." That and the fake imminent sale that ran all through 2008/09 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadful post He had a responsibility in taking the job and sucking at it though. It was clear from the onset that the fans didn’t want him at this club, and he did nothing to prove them wrong. To the contrary, he made us into a bigger shambles and laughing stock than we already were at that point. I bear little hard feelings to him, but let’s not pretend he was not one in a long line of wasters who took and club’s money only to leave it in a worse state than they found it. I wish him peace, but I can’t respect him for his “service” to the club I love. Edited April 7 by Unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been so different if he’d signed that Shane Ferguson lad. Came here to say this in hindsight it may have been the early stages.. He wasn’t the right man for the job but he was a larger than life character and whilst massively unprofessional his rant against some of the cretins masquerading and warning good money as journalists was actually quite refreshing.
