Interview him about his rudeness.
How is this fair on the players?

Give you 109/1 against him having to sign a good conduct pledge or being subject to an exclusion order if he don't.

Prior to "email-gate" - the club / Steve put out a statement which ended as follows:
However in an attempt to stop the inevitable rumour mill that normally surrounds such events the club is making this public statement in the hope of drawing a line under what otherwise could become an unseemly and damaging split.
Perhaps he would like to offer another statement on this occasion, for similar reasons .....
Alternatively, I'd suggest he lays off the Carling for a while!

It's entirely possible he may have an issue with drink, I doubt his fellow directors were very impressed TBH. Add to that he'd probably had a long and rubbish day, especially with the team getting turned over in what sounds like a very poor fashion. Then there was someone starting unsubstantiated rumours about Glyn Hopkin pulling out of the club... who was that I wonder??Diggerthedog wrote:Think he had more then a couple, he clearly has a drinking problem.

Not me regarding GH, merely mentioning what I was hearing on the train. Someone should have stopped him drinking after the incident or at least went to the bar for him. All on expenses was it?

Ah OK, you didn't start it, just put it on twitter? Who told you I wonder? Did you ask for any kind of evidence?Diggerthedog wrote:Not me regarding GH, merely mentioning what I was hearing on the train.
Quite possibly, but hey, he's an adult, and a grumpy, irritable one at that. I can imagine stopping him getting a drink if he wanted one might have been hard to do.Diggerthedog wrote:Someone should have stopped him drinking after the incident or at least went to the bar for him.
No idea tbh. Do you know, seeing as you brought it up?Diggerthedog wrote:All on expenses was it?

Evidence? what is it a police investigation? Merely putting what I heard from a reliable source.
Your right he is an adult who becomes a child when he has a drink. When I travel with my firm I don't pay for a bean and normally don't abuse my clients when doing so

No police investigation, just interested where this was coming from. I guess you are not saying who started it? Someone shit stirring maybe?Diggerthedog wrote:Evidence? what is it a police investigation? Merely putting what I heard from a reliable source.
Can't disagree with that, it isn't good, and he should know better. Also, it isn't a surprise any more, he has lots of previous form, hence my first point.Diggerthedog wrote:Your right he is an adult who becomes a child when he has a drink.

Good to hear that you don't abuse your clients, well done for that. I need to change jobs if your firm will pay for you to get pissed on a train. Subsistence yes, maybe even a beer or two. Getting lashed, no.

So, given Glyn is out of the country, the denial from Simmo, and no official word, just wrong?Diggerthedog wrote:

And you can't/won't say where it came from?
