Roker Rapport - Charlie Methven Interview

Can't see what's wrong with keeping your cards close to your chest?
Also I can't see what business it is of fans to know of others money.
The financial side of the club is in the public domain when the accounts come out. That's all you need to know. It's plainly obvious others have an agenda of their own, quite frankly it pisses me off.

 

Meds run out again I see!

 

First question to Paul Reid and he didn’t actually answer it.

 

I literally said this. Can you read?

 

Again, we were perfectly entitled to ask the question, they were entitled to say that it I'd private UNLESS it means liabilities or ownership changes for SAFC. If that's not the case then like I said, how they fund their own contributions to the club is entirely their call.

The only agenda here is from people who don't actually read the content of my posts and assume the worst.

 

You should post this on the takeover thread km, more suited to that discussion.

 

I'm discussing the podcast answers. Stop trying tod derail the thread as a wind up.

 

I've listened to the majority of it, Paul Read is pretty much anonymous throughout, very much the 'Charlie Show'.

Spent 20 mins of the hour talking about how Donald has come off social media because of the small percentage of people abusing.

He did give a fair assessment of the U18 & U23 teams - we're still competing with most PL teams who can spend money on them which we simply can't.

As for the takeover/investment - it's not really anyone's business what the deal entails. Why don't we just let it go and get on with it? No other football club disclose stuff like that so not sure why we get our knickers in a twist over it.

Manager situation is interesting, they based the decision solely on League One experience, which is great to a degree, but hardly very ambitious.

 

Where they asked if it was the cheapest option as Cook had been mentioned but wasn't persued due to the £1m Signing fee?

 

I haven't quite finished it so I've either missed it or not heard that bit yet.

Think it's pretty clear it'll have been financially motivated as well as no compensation fee to pay for Parky.

If we had no money for on the pitch transfers we certainly weren't going to pay £1m for a manager.

 

I find Charlie to be a bit of a condescending ****er.

 

I didn't go - mainly due to my best mates business venture (a running company who had an event in Durham yesterday) and giving him help in measuring out a course which was suitable - but I do love the club and am happily, regularly referred to as a "happy clapper" (proud to get behind them)

But you're absolutely spot on, 0% should abuse

 

He went to Eton then Oxford - what do you expect man?

 

Apparently Parkinson was chosen due to the reports the board had from people who had worked with him previously as they were the best from all the candidates involved plus he had experience of League 1 - can't remember any other managers names mentioned.

 

I quite like Methven I think he's a decent enough bloke.

I warmed to him when I watched him do an interview with SAFC talking about when he discovered he had ball cancer, he described how he went to the toilet in the night and felt something unusual on his, and you see him trying and failing to think of the polite term testicle, after a short pause he goes "bollock".

 

On about that I thought I had the same disease a few year back

Getting some oral sex off our lass

& she thought I had three testacles the lump was that big

Anyway she refused to give me any more nooky till I'd got it checked out which I did

Came back all clear

Went back to see her & shagged The arse off her took me three weeks to get sorted

Apart from my open hear surgery never been so frightened in me life when I was getting examined

Had a scare myself years back, horrible isn't it. When I was getting checked out my balls shrank into my body like a frightened tortoise going into its shell he did a good job managing to check properly

Here's the interview with Methven, it's worth a watch because it's something that affects a lot of us and it also shows a more likeable side to him where he can talk openly about something unlike all the cloak and dagger takeover stuff.
