Morning one and all.... Ofcom, the independent regulator for the UK communications industry, are after Ken....... (and quite rightly too) A recent report alleges Bates used his position as the Leeds chairman to access computer files and broadcast private information through the club's in-house station Yorkshire Radio. Two misleading interviews with Captain Birdseye back in February 2012 "were likely to have materially or adversely affected listeners' views of Mr Gary Cooper, the LUST Chairman" and that "Mr Cooper's privacy was unwarrantably infringed". Should Ken face charges of bringing the beautiful game into disrepute? How and why has Ken managed NOT to get himself into hot water after years of (alleged) dodgy dealing, both at Elland Road and Stamford Bridge? You never know, we may hear from 'BillyisGod' later, though I am not sure whether he'll be allowedf to talk about a legal matter before it goes through the legal process..... When should we appoint a new Manager? This week? At the end of the season? Or wait for the right candidate?
Morning Elland. Disgusts me that bates is still connected to the club as chairman. And how in God's name can he have a life presidency role. A despicable individual
Morning Eire, well said. Its quite interesting to hear people's thoughts about Margaret Thatcher. I know a lot of people dispised her, but, Tell yer what.... Nodoby used to mess with us (the UK) when Maggie was in charge. Yeah, she made mistakes, but who doesn't. Lets have a vote here.... MARGARET THATCHER. HERO OR VILLAIN? For me Hero
Morning All, Evil witch as far as I'm concerned. She hated Scotland and the north of england as no-one voted for her there. She shut down the Ravenscraig strip mill in Motherwell. It was the most efficient mill in Europe. She decided the one in Wales should remain open, even though it was losing money. Oddly enough, the Welsh seat was a marginal she hoped to win, the Motherwell seat was staunch Labour. Wonder why she made such a howling uneconomic choice? Lanarkshire virtually folded after that. There was a domino effect of businesses going bust and mas sunemployment. Plus she shut down the coal mines in Lanarkshire too. The area still hasn't fully recovered. A generation of people on the dole. If you think of her in a positive light, watch the movie 'Brassed Off'. Great film, but the back story of Thatchers Britain is marvellously acted by Stephen Tomkinson. Multiply his pain by several hundred thousand and you begin to get the picture. I hope she burns in Hell.
Morning all On the manager front it would be nice to know that there’s a plan in place, i.e. not appointing McDermott because we’ll try to get Poyet in the summer. But I fear that’s wishful thinking and that GFH don’t have the first clue about what they’re doing. Thatcher – she can rot in hell. Destroyed communities and promoted a me-first society based on greed. Oh well, at least the scum lost last night
I havent mate. Worth a spin? I thought the series 'This is England' captured my youth perfectly which was obviously when Thatcher was in power
Elland..To be honest I couldn't give a **** about her, or the pope, the queen, nelson mandela, hitler, I hate them all equally. I've never voted in my life, I don't think I'm political and I'm certainly not religious...and I've forgotten what point I was trying to make..
I think I'm too young for the Thatcher debate as well. Although I have heard considerably more good stories about her time in charge than bad ones. I am from London though where I understand she was liked more than the north. As far as manager, I think there a few candidates that we should be considering to employ right now. If they fall through then wait until a time when the 'right' candidate becomes available. Also, SkyBet has Di Matteo as the favourite now which I find interesting. I would take him over almost anyone and definitely McDermott who seemed the instant favourite
Morning xbpod, Shak, and Evening/morning/afternoon Josh Footy and politics dont mix IMO. Although theres more politics in footy than ever I prefer to watch the battle on the pitch and excape from how rubbish or great this country is for 90 mins!
What a lovely day, woke up this morning and the wicked old bitch is still dead, thank god I wasn't dreaming, I'm so happy, I hope the bastard is enjoying her first full day in hell
