Genuine question: What happened with Short that made them turn on him? What did he actually do or not do? There’s either a ‘nothing at all but…’ or ‘well to be fair to the mackems he did…’ answer to this and I am sat poised for it in all its delicious detail.

Quinn said Short would subsidise them if they got the 40k gates he sold Short on, when his push to clamp down on screenings and put on free transport to the game came from. They still couldn't be arsed to go so Short opted against pissing his fortunes up the wall.

Also peaking at 10th wasn't to their liking. They deserved better, for some unknown reason not related to their recent history or income.

What a terrible owner.

They’ve been massaging the attendance figures for years.A have a couple of mackem mates who’ve been attending for years and they’ve told me there were regularl howls of laughter when the attendance was announced ,especially when Quinn was chairman .Due to the sharing out of gate receipts after cup games,the attendance figures have to be accurate,hence their general shit attendances for cup games.

He looks like the homeless fella who used to sit in old Eldon Square

 

Fuck what was he called?

 

Also, anyone remember the bloke hanging round monument with verses from Bible on front and back of him?

 

I used to just call him Jesus man as a bairn

He was called Jimmy IIRC if it’s the same bloke you’re referring to, I remember being on the number 1 bus once and he was on there,  nobody would sit near him, he did stink, it was the only seat available downstairs so I sat near him and chatted to him. A few weeks later I bumped into him in Town and offered him money and he refused, apparently he lost his family in a house fire. Seemed a really gentle man.

I see he has an estimated net worth of 33M

That’s probably why he refused my offer of money. His house looked like shit.

Not surprised. He spent full days in there and people were very kind to him even if he didn't accept all of it

He apparently slept rough in the Rising Sun Country Park and he actually died around Thunder Thursday, back in 2012. Think his body was found around there. :(
