Angus Kinnear on the Square Ball Podcast

Just in case any of you missed this.

Angus Kinnear speaks about the summer window, Red Bull sponsorship and possible future ownership, financial constraints, 49ers investment and new West stand.

Decent watch guys. Well worth listening to and might put to bed some daily issues we discuss on here.

 

Only puts issues to bed if you believe everything he says. Having said that will have a watch over weekend thanks. One thing I’ve noted is we’re still not close to applying for planning permission for new west stand. Think it’s safe to say lads if my vintage will never get to sit in it

 

Thanks Emu, that debunks quite a bit of the transfer dialogue had on here, through the summer. Mainly Hamer wasn’t available to us at any price. Also Archie’s people insisted on the release clause as a condition of him signing the new longer contract.

Tbh I know some people won’t believe him, but this gives a excellent insight into the issues we face, think always comes over well in these interviews.

 

Not a case whether we believe his every word or not but he’s in a privileged position there’s
Nobody left at club in a position to argue any of his points

 

He is just an appeaser to quieten the easily led. Is it half a million a year he is raking in?.

 

Don’t think I’m easily led. Just don’t believe all the clickbait rubbish that circulates round our club.

 

He was supposed to have been originally brought in to mastermind the ground extension given his previous experience. So seven years on he’s looking at planning. Hardly what you’d call a fast mover

 

Going to be at least ten years then and maybe not started or finished. Plus lots of room for money men and feck the ordinary fans.

 

I’ll be a long way past travelling over at that point

 

Got around to watching this in full earlier. What really struck me was, after the clamour for the club to tell fans what is going on, he gets called a liar doing so.

Who’d want to own a football club?

 

Yup Marcos. It’s a month since I listened to it but my recollection is I thought he came across well. He doesn’t need to do it.

He takes the p1ss out of himself, most of his explanations are credible… apart from the ‘targeting proven players with British/championship credentials’ bit. I think he’s as candid as he can be considering the job he does requires some obfuscation. Guy can’t win.

 

Had to Google obfuscation.

 

Me too. Perhaps Milky should go for the Athletic role!

 

I was trying to write ‘obvious’ and was done by auto-correct - what does obfuscation mean guys? … save me the trouble of googling

 

To be evasive or give unclear answers (presumably deliberately) so your comment still works.

 

it was a joke bud, I know what it means as i've done it so often

 

I kinda knew you did but I only answered because it’s a numbingly boring international break

 

I think he was trying to entice Emu out because no one else is playing

 

I dunno Marcos, I provide a grown up, sensible and dare I say it, supporting comment to your post and the best you can do is engage in cheap conjecture

 

LOVE 15 Marcos to serve new balls please
