Sorry, got my sides confused, but the point is the same; he said http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/11012294/robert-snogdrass-hits-out-at-under-fire-west-ham-boss-slaven-bilic
This is simply not true.
Can't find it now, but I did a touch map analysis at the time, and he played on the right for at least half the games, including his debut against Citeh.
In short they could do well to remember a basic of good PR which is to take double your share of blame and half your share of praise. I think there is too much vanity within both of them to do this however.
I was and still am greatful to the DDs for saving us from financial ruin and (IMO) certain administration. But Sullivan’s need to show publicly that he’s ‘the man’ makes me wonder if there is truth in the little man syndrome theory.
If a player had said he regretted coming to the club and his advisors were begging him not to deal with David Sullivan I wonder what the reaction would be?
The are childish and petty for the most part and they just reek of unprofessionalism imo
Unfortunately untill someone who can take us to the next level...which except from Red Bull ive heard nothing about clubs interested in us...then they are going to stay
"Regardless, the chairman and his loose tongue is, in my opinion, doing more harm than good. All he is doing is waving his ego about in public". You are so right.
I don't recall any of this from the previous owners or indeed from most other EPL boards. All matters about player quality should be handled internally. Sullivan ought to know that his negative jibes about players would draw a negative response because even after leaving WHU they still need to earn their living. So a defensive response is to be anticipated. Sullivan does not seem to understand human behavior.
Not sure if it is something in the London Stadium water, food or the DNA of Sullivan that encourages him to wave his ago about, he should get it checked.
I also honestly think he just lies. I think in his attempt to brag, he stretches things so beyond their reality that they're just not true anymore.
Steve Parish at Palace occasionally opens his mouth to change feet but who is Stoke's chairman? Or West Brom's? Bournemouth's? Burnley's? Leicester's?
The "big" teams generally have quiet chairmen, Abramovich doesn't talk to the press, when Levy speaks its usually for a good reason while Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and Man U all seem happy to let their managers do the talking.
Our chairmen are quite unique in English Football, they want to be celebrities on a level with the players and manager.
He’s still OUR player! What is she trying here some kind of reverse psychology that he will think “I’ll show her” when he comes back?
;doh
You mean when he returns in an Aston Villa shirt if we sell him to them?
What on earth is she actually getting out of saying that? The player will resent it, the fans generally don’t like comments in the press like that and it won’t exactly add to his value either.
She needs to stop writing for that rag, it really is that simple
The fact that she spouts the sort of nonsense quoted above just makes it worse.
It really is incredible that these people have risen as high as they have considering their complete lack of nous when dealing with PR matters. As ASLEF says, their egos go above all else, and this is not a good thing for our club ;weep
“Ssssh Brady bunch”
