I don't think he gives a **** about a good home He'd sell like a shot if he got an offer in which he made a healthy profit He's a business man end of and never ever actually talks about the football on the pitch.
No, just accept how your first post appeared; like I said, you then put it right, or made it clear. No problem, I wasn't looking for a barney, too much to do
Happy, I do respect what I think is your genuinely held position and support for Mr Allam, but this stuff above is such utter nonsense that even I am moved to respond to it. So, you know how BBC journalism works do you? Your second sentence, indeed all of it suggests you really, REALLY don't. I haven't time today to go into it on here, but I am more than happy to put you right about the editorial process if you wish via PM? If anything, arguably they have treated Mr. Allam with kid gloves - and again, I have from experience, a very good idea as to why this is so. I am happy to share that with you - but I'm not getting into it on here, I just haven't the time for further replies to anyone else. Whilst I am here, just a small point! You do know that Mr. Allam is not a Doctor of Philosophy, Law or Letters etc don't you? He doesn't hold a PhD. It's a honorary title/gift that is not to be used outside of the context from which it was given. He would never or should never be presented or addressed as Dr. Allam. In any formal gathering or speech, it would be announced that he was given an honorary doctorate as a mark of his public achievements or support for some cause, he would not be called Dr. Allam. Speaking as someone who is completing one and knows how much work it takes, it is really bloody annoying.
it was blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain cell what he meant and if people on here are so thick as to miss the point, that's their look out.
It was a poor choice of comparison no matter how many brain cells you have, but clearly, as you say, to those with only half a brain cell, it was blatantly obvious; obviously why you picked up on it so quickly, well done. You do realise that words often have multiple meanings, don't you; try looking it up in a proper dictionary and you might just learn something.
Cheers Lincs, and yes I do know how the media works. I certainly don't believe the BBC is the bastion of impartiality it once was, nor do I think it's the home of the cream of available presenters, commentators and researchers that it once was either. Especially in the local stations. Even more especially in that local station. They must know they are generally held in very poor regard. They get no end of **** in the way they deal with the issues surrounding our club, from that vocal minority, it doesn't take a massive leap to realise push their luck slightly with the owners, get the information out there (with some retractions) and their stock, at least locally, will rise. I'm sorry you feel slighted by my referring to him as Dr. It's just a useful way to differeniate between him and Ehab. No one else seems to like using their names on here so its just easier to type Dr than Mr. As this is not a formal gathering, nor am I making formal speeches, I really don't see the problem. I think a bigger reason to get annoyed is reading peoples views who are denying what he went through before he came over here in their continual efforts to deride him. People who wouldn't know adversity if it came up and smacked them in their stupid, small minded, parochial faces.
I realise this might come as a shock to you Stanners, but I don't know him well enough to call him by his first name.
