Dr Faustus Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 There was one a few weeks ago with a 3-part question on architecture of towns/cities in Northern England: A town in Greater Manchester with an outstanding Gothic Revival Town Hall, and also the birthplace of the Co-operative movement - they had an 'educated guess' at Oldham. A city within 5 miles of the large country house Wentworth Woodhouse, which is close to the M1 motorway - 'educated guess' was Derby. A city with the Neoclassical St George's Hall opposite the main railway station - 'uneducated guess' Leeds. And this was a very good team trying to answer.

white noise Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) What Bad news?.... Ameobi can't even play for free, Feeney poss to Preston, Vela and Clough to Swansea, Pratley to Ipswich, Salmazadeh to Derby, Sportshield named as preferred bidder then goalposts moved again, Chairman of Trust is an associate of Gartside.......... Otherwise none I guess, depending on your viewpoint. Edited January 26, 2016 by white noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagermoot Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If the club was threatened with extinction, do you think ED would let this happen or would he throw 10 mill at it just to keep the club alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted January 27, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2016 I asked Iles three times yesterday to confirm the club had told him that ED had changed the goalposts he didn't respond once, Today he was having a pop saying new news on the takeover but it's 7:28am or summit in Bermuda. He's getting on my tits now, as Horwich mentioned and others about his info obviously coming from Sports Shield, his reporting is becoming a little swayed. If he's doesn't know what's going from the clubs side there's no need for comments about it being morning in Bermuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think ED moving or changing the goalposts is a genius idea. Making them really small could stop teams scoring and moving them slightly will give us a massive advantage when we concede penalty kicks. Good call I say.

The BEN has always been stymied by its reliance on the club for information. Since the hand isn't going to be feeding him any more he may as well bite it and eat elsewhere.

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted January 27, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2016 Of course he does. But the current climate needs handling carefully. If he's spouting out what sports shield are Wanting to tell him to create unrest then this potentially has a knock on effect to folk who are in a panic about it all. He needs to remain as impartial as he can in all of this IMO. If he doesn't know the full story he should be more selective about what he puts out there. This sports shield effort looks shambolic and he could alienate himself with some of his comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
