Nice to see this view...

With so many stories being written about Fleet since Wembley, was nice to see this one appear. I don't often agree with Martin Samuel, but he makes sense this time...

From timesonline...

Martin Samuel is the devil incarnate on MyFC.

He gets an even worse slagging that Harry and I.

[PatMan]

Long live the Devil Incarnate!

 

What else has he said to upset them? Can ya repost it here to give us all a laugh - will need it as we hang around in the cold and rain this evening..

 

(Who decided to have the parade on the first day of the Test? Should have been a warning for rain!)

[Hempstead Gaz]

We wait with baited breath Wah Wah's response.

It won't come before he has had a little "chat" with his Lord and Master, Will.

However, I have helped him a little, by cut and pasting the quote and pm'ing it to Dodowheverhis name is.

 

[Jeff]

This is only semi positive article that he has written about MyFC.

 

All the rest have slagged it off as being a complete joke and a scam.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Not a great fan of Samuals myself, but all credit to him if he managed to get a quote like that from His Majesty Lord, Sir William Brooks CBE,MBE,OBE,VC and bar.

[kaizen]

Thinks that's a very good article and straight to the point. Very fair summary.

[kmj]

How does he know that there is a "decent transfer budget"?

I rather understood that the money after deduction of the admin fees generated by the MyFC subs was largely earmarked to meet the first stage payment of the Club debts (aka previous directors and their associates' loans).

 

Who outside the inner circle of the Operator knows what is in the kitty? Probably not even Liam Daish yet.

A case of someone using their position to talk rubbish. Loads of speculation but no one knows what is in the kitty yet.

[rsheard]

Yes, it is a fair summary...the only one Samuels has written about MyFC, and completely opposite everything else he's written. He spent one article attacking MyFC because of forum usernames. Brilliant journalistic research there.

 

But I agree with him this time. There IS so much to like about the MyFC set-up if we can just resolve PTT. A big "if" right now.

Especially when, as Daish admitted in the Gravesend Messenger, even he doesn't know the budget yet!

[BustaGut]

Do you think he, maybe basing his comments on the Wembley win, rather than the money that has be obtained through the MYFC takeover

[David Holden]

His grammar is to good for that.

[kaizen]

Do you know his grandparents then?

[David Holden]

Absolutely, two nicer couples you couldn't hope to meet.

[Hempstead Gaz]

Wah Wah doesn't think much of him, though. Reckons he is a bit of a liar and writing untrue stories.
