Heyesey Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 If it doesn't work out, will Allen admit he got it wrong... It's axiomatic that football chairmen are never wrong. They pay managers and other staff to be wrong on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAIRBOY Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 well he gives a good interview, lets give him a chance and get behind them once again, lets hope we can keep a manager for a while for a change Yes, comes across very well and I like his clean-cut appearance. He comes from Wallsend (noth of the Tyne) which I can tell you makes him a genuine "Geordie" unlike many who are called that because they come from the North East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desy Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 According to a guy on Radio Sheffield a friend of his known him for years and he doesn't think that it will be long before Allen an Laws have a few explosive words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAIRBOY Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I saw a brief excerpt from the press conference and it came across to me from Allen's perspective: "produce or out" whereas Laws, realising it wasn't going to happen overnight, described himself as a "builder". I understand Allen's economics and he added that money for players would have to come from his own pocket and the forthcoming attitude at the AGM would determine what he was prepared to do in relation to that. It takes me back to when Derek Dooley had done sterling work with the Development Fund and was then promoted to manager - (poor decision) but all Dooley's efforts for the club, in various roles, suddenly were turned sour with a Christmas Eve sacking! As has been said earlier, we can only hope it works out for everyone concerned though I'm not so sure it will. Just look at the clubs in the Championship who came down thinking they'd go straight back up; it isn't easy, let alone with financial debts and constraints. Laws will be welcomed by the shareholders, as were Jewell,Turner and Sturrock in recent years. I heard the Turner press conference when he arrived, according to Allen - the best thing since sliced bread. Alas, not to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade1983 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 heard an interview with him on Radio Sheffield this morning. He said: "I will not be making an aproach to sign any Scunthorpe players" when asked why, he said: "Because we can't afford them" :hihi: :hihi: Brilliant!!!!!! So if you can't afford to sign Scunny players, what chance has he got!?!?! Up the Blades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAIRBOY Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Nobody's "slagging him off", merely pointing out the poisoned chalice this post brings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
