[Archived] Shebby Singh

[RibbleValleyRover]

It does sound like he has cracked a bit, perhaps due to the abuse he is getting at games? I'm not condoning it but I find it hard to sympathize with him when has brought it on himself by poor decision making.

[Blue Cabbage]

Didn't catch it, but sounds like his finest outing yet, don't know why I was hoping for anything.

6 month deal for new manager, no money for transfers, our fault?

Lucky to get Taylor if that's the modus operandi.

Idiots

[bluefred]

this bloke is a complete @#/? t w a t hope someone decks him.

[Tom]

Beyond embarrassing

Folk on twitter say he's much better in person but that changes nothing

The only people who seem to back the guy are the people he has bigged up in the past

[folkdevil]

He lost it completely and swore at Gary Hickson on air.

[T.J.Newton]

The mans clearly got 'little man syndrome'(likely why he gets on so well with GM.haha

[Roverthechimp]

Is there anyway to access it online (now after the event) or does anyone have a transcript?

I would imagine it will be available on a podcast maybe later on or tommorow.

[watford-rover]

he said he wouldnt subject gary bowyer to the abuse! what the @#/?! like were a pack of rabid animals who wants everyones blood??!! we got right behind berg! take note shebby, stop talking @#/? and speak the truth, were not stupid and dont like being spoken to as if we are, you start doing that and you will get less grief.

[Amo]

So people are FINALLY waking up to the fact Shebby's a delusional, fame-hungry wannabe, are they?

I knew when we first signed a Malaysian pundit who'd spent most of his time spouting crap on ESPN as our footballing director we'd be up the creek.

I mean, what could go wrong?

But nooo, because he suckered people in on the Fans Forum, bought off BRAG, and forced out Kean, he was suddenly a folk hero.

Ask yourself why he wanted Kean out in the first place. We've just replaced one self-serving slimeball with another.

[RoyRover]

I haven't heard the interview but it sounds pretty shocking. The guy is a liar and a con artist. No wonder Venky's hired him. So any new manager who comes in will only get 6 months? That's appealling for a manager looking for some job security. We are getting to be beating them from the door. No new players? It's obvious that we don't need any with how we've been playing. I'm glad Shebby is here and using his expertise to come to conclusions that none of the fans could make.

We are royally f****d with this guy calling the shots.

6 month contract on offer for new manager.

No signings.

I didn't hear it but if that was the message then it sounds to me like that came straight from Pune. I must say I can't really blame them either after the sh1t they have been spoon fed for the past 2 years by Dastardly and Muttley and what it must have cost them. All their own fault of course but as I said the other day any offer to any manager should be big money and a short performance related contract. Common sense really.

[T.J.Newton]

1st question at the start of the call (not word for word exact but not far of):-

interviwer:- Josh King signed today on a permanent deal, are there going to be any more signings this window?

Singh:- (a very firm)NO, we don't need any more players.

Rhis is likely why id assume Berg lost interest and offered his resignation(long before he was fired)

[Reedy You're A Star]

Think that interview pretty much confirms that Venky's have run out of money. (At least money they're willing to commit to Rovers)

[Roverthechimp]

According to a comment on LET the deal is 6 months with guaranteed extensions if certain (assume points) targets are met.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

BRFC.....never a dull day

[T.J.Newton]

just for example- as if a any respected managers are going to take the risk of uprooting their families if there a very good chance the job will only be for 6 months(berg only lasted 2!), desperate oddballs are all this will attract.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I can't bear to listen to the tool - obviously he thinks he's set for life, yet his arrogance knows no bounds and will bring him down. Unfortunately the damage will/has already been done and our club/fans are irrelevant in his master plan (hardly a plan at all) - how low can he go?

[blueboy3333]

GH - Is Dunny injured?

SS- Yes

GH - Has B Rao spoken to Peter Taylor about Rovers job?

SS- No

You can tell when Singh's lying, he gives a straight answer.

The 6 months contract is just a reaction to Berg's tenure. The truth is a manager is just as likely - if not more so - to fail in his second 6 month period or likely even later than that.

[Mike Graham]

Shebby = willie wonker.

What a 1st class idiot.

[Lurid Coat]

EmbarrasSingh should be hounded out of the club immediately. I'll tilt if certain posters continue to defend him after this exercise in idiocy.

[matt83]

I've lost track of the politics within our various supporter groups. Not that it really matters but is there one group that publicly endorses him?

Sure someone hinted at it on another thread somewhere. If so they need to distance themselves from him ASAP with a statement. Especially, if they claim to be representing the fans. Because that character does not represent me or anything I want to be apart of.

[perthblue02]

Was certainly embarrassing, look forward to Director Snake and Director Shelf both going live on radio Lancs and answering live questions, somehow don't think it will happen, not while a victory for Team Kean is on the horizon.
