The Southampton fan who started this thread has said precisely this IN THIS THREAD ya weirdo. Check the thread on the Southampton board. If someone said of Rangers what Green just said of Villa, for example, I doubt you'd describe him as a "gent"
He also states thsi in a bid to attract investors And how did they become debt free? A good businessman wil never let the truth get in the way of an opputunity. He's in it to make money! Celtic had the bunnet... Rangers have the whippet!
He said he always liked Rangers. I was not aware he travels up to go to games. What I am saying is that I know Norwich fans that travel up and I doubt a statement from Charlie would put them off Rangers. Do you think Villa supporting Gers fans will no longer go to Rangers games? Na, me neither.
Ok so I'll clear this up. No I do not travel up for games but if I come up to Scotland on business or pleasure then I do look to see if there is a game on I could get to. Will I now, no. Having said that I think your right it's not going to make a huge difference to your club. However, it doesn't cast yourselves in a good light within the footballing community. Lets see how much the price goes up when you want to buy players from these clubs your fellas insulted or see how easy it is when you want loans. You best not hope that some of these chairmen of other clubs don't hold some influence over big businesses, sponsors, FIFA, UEFA etc. Football is a small industry and it is unwise to insult others on such a large scale. Someone said this guy is a good businessman, I beg to differ...
look mate, away n fling ****e it yersel eh? nae **** wants tae hear yer pish now **** off before a kick yer **** in!!
So he's upset a few Villa, Southampton and Swansea fans? Big deal. People can either take him seriously or simply forget about it, like most surely will. I don't think we'll be looking at any Swansea, Southampton or Villa players anytime soon. A small industry? Are you serious? So small that it only spans the globe. Insulted on a large scale, what a comment from a SFL3 chairman is large scale!?! I take it no one in football has ever said anything bad about your club.
Im afraid I have literally no idea what you are trying to say. I'm going to presume it was an insult in some form. I havent insulted any of you or any of your clubs fans on here. Just after opinions. I think I now have yours so thank you
Wow. Ok so his comments are not just disrespectful to a few clubs but to all who are not in this supposed "top 36". Have you ever worked within football? I can tell you from experience that its a small small world my friend.
just had an idea The not606 challenge: Phone up a football phone in (russ style) and ask the panel if they like WWE
My friend, I believe you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Football incase you haven't noticed is a global industry. That's why in football we have backers, investors, players, chairmen, sponsors etc from all over the world. Has anyone in football, chairmen, manager, player etc ever said anything bad about Southampton?
Not saying its a huge deal but it certainly isn't a wise thing to do. The fact that alot of the fans seem to like him for coming out with these statements is a bit worrying. Surely you'd rather have a well run and well liked club? Football is a global industry but everyone knows everyone. All im saying is it doesnt make good business sense to go around insulting other clubs. Things come back to bite you in this life
Like who? We don't care who likes us Football fans are fickle, are you meaning to say no one in football has ever insulted your club? Of course they have.
