    Thanks Gino’s agent..

    No praise for anyone else involved in the positive decisions made this season.

    Who employed Manga then got rid a year or less later and gave Butterfly man a new contract in May then got rid as you say about 6 months later?

    I suspect Val has probably just go lucky !

    @Bigbadbear Every time he sees a new report detailing evidence of Gino's incompetence and/or alleged-criminality brought to light by the footballing press:

    I do not see the need to villifie Gino at every opportunity. If Gino is proven to do wrong and convicted then of course he should go.

    If Gino was to go the club may face an uncertain future at least in the short term, I do not find that fun or something I want to look forward to.

    I do not see why people are so bitter with opinions spouted as facts which they will never be however often they are repeated to each other. Gino has done pretty much most things we wanted. Give him a break.

    Does he like a Kit Kat ?

    ;)

    I think most people have said IF these allegations lead to anything tbh.

    No one on here has quite thrown away the key yet .

    If he was the one who put all faith in Ismael then fair enough that is a plus but he also employed someone who had a big reputation and was going to be the next bright new scout before getting rid less than a year later.

    CG also got a new deal in May before being dumped.

    Some might say a reckless use of money at a time when we haven’t got much .

    BigBadBear is genuinely the finest troll account this forum has ever seen. Spectacular material.

    I particularly liked the mixed metaphor of “care a toss”.

    I particularly enjoyed BBBs opening line of "I think I have said it before."

    The worrying thing is I find myself agreeing with much of what he said.

    In a sense yes. He is blind to any vision of taking us forward and has been for a while. He was blind for way to long sticking with an aging defence in the toughest division in the world. His sight in such aspects has improved as of late, but he's still in the contact lenses trial phase.

    The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is absolutely correct, but it's the sort of line that does lead a certain type of person to close their ears and eyes to the possibility of wrongdoing, which is odd when there's been a pattern of behaviour across multiple clubs over almost four decades.

    The allegations that are in the public domain are unlikely to be entirely fabricated, but that is for the judge to decide.

    Until then, it doesn't do anyone much service to fill their mouths with Gucci shoe leather in the hope that the outcome is what they want it to be rather than what it should be. Happens in too many walks of life. It's often quite hard to nail the wealthy, lawyered-up and savvy even when they should be bang to rights.

    As demonstrated by Man City, who are not innocent until proven guilty. They’re guilty in the eyes of virtually everyone. But very good at delaying the inevitable, buying time along with everything else they buy.

    Also by paying some very high priced lawyers no doubt to make sure they get away scott free. If Gino is found guilty then he faces the music, Man City equally so.

    From what I've been told by someone who worked on Mike Ashley 's house in Totteridge,he,Ashley has all the top KCs on his payroll.

    I am not familiar with their work, only that they are Weeds fans,or is it Leicester or is that Kasabian?

    I'm better on 10CC and Steely Dan in truth!

    Actually, it was all about KC & The Sunshine Band....'That's The Way I Like It' and 'Queen Of Clubs'.
    Hopefully that won't put you off posting in this thread. Please don't go!

    Kaiser Chiefs are definitely Weeds fans...they took their name from the South African team club hero Lucas Radebe played for.

    And yes, Kasabian are Leicester fans, although I prefer to afford that 'accolade' to Family, the best thing to come out of Leicester since the M1.

    I remember 'Queen of Clubs' and the Radebe KC connection.

    Family,with the chap called Roger as lead singer?

    Yep, that’s them. Burlesque was taken from their 7th (and penultimate) album ‘Bandstand’…they were a fine band and incredibly dynamic live. Until they got enough traction to headline in their own right (helped by John Peel’s support) they found that certain top groups wouldn’t let them open for them again as they were often ‘difficult’ to follow after!
    And they contained various multi-instrumentalists so had an undefinable ‘sound’.
     
  34. Roger Chapman had a fantastic distinctive voice.

    Indeed he did/does; see if you can track down any Family stuff as it really is better than Streetwalkers, except maybe the first couple of albums which were a bit Family-‘lite’.
