FWIW I'm very interested to hear any ITK info that anyone has. Appreciate you telling us what you know or have heard! So please continue to do so when you can! I can use my own judgement based on my experience with the people posting it, my own opinions on the matter and what else I have read. And you know what, if I don't believe it, that's not an issue, it's just something else to read and discuss.
As relayed by three of the most consistently credible people on this forum, sourced independently from different people at/formerly at the club that they in turn trust. At some point, the two options become: - There is a massive conspiracy between otherwise reliable people to discredit individuals at the club, or; - It's exactly what it seems to be.
I think that’s generally the case RSS, but thank you. I’ve found today’s assertions a little bizarre!
FWIW when those various claims first surfaced through Beef and DTLW (both of whom I very much trust) I decided to do a bit of investigation myself through a couple of people I know, and had them confirmed. I have no idea who Beef or DTLWs sources are. They know one of mine. So, as I say, on the very few occasions I do get information that I can legally/morally pass on, I will, as I think most people appreciate it. Nothing to do with validation. I really don’t require anything of the sort from a football forum! If that makes me an ‘sjw’ (wtf?) in others eyes, then I’m quite sure I’ll learn to live with that!
Again, without knowing the context of the bullying nobody can really have an opinion. If Les Reed has run into the changing room and said “lol you were **** today fatty 4 eyes” to a player and he ran off crying and quit the team then I would tell that player to stop being a wimp and get on with it. I really hope this is what happened
Have I missed anything? About time someone started texting me when there is a ruck going on; I’ve missed out on a few recently. *for the record, I was reading but stayed out of it
If you dig just below the surface of any club, in any league, in any country, I'm sure you'll find some unsavoury things on almost anyone that has worked there long enough. Not saying it's right obviously, and more needs to be done about a variety of things going on behind the scenes to protect players and staff. Just that I don't think anyone in any position of power got there/stayed there cleanly, sadly.
It's good that we've finally sacked Mauricio, but the thing is at the moment I don't trust the board to make the right appointment. We'll probably end with some so clueless that Pellegrino would look like Guardiola compared to him
