I'll repeat what I said many times when Venkys took over "the only protest that the owners would have to take notice of would be if no supporters turned up." 

 

Repeat it all you like it's still not going to ever happen 😄

I don't know if anyone remembers this, but it is pretty damning.

First time I've seen it in this form, despite knowing about most of its content.

Two examples here to illustrate a point:

1) A few years ago there was an agent alleged to have too much influence at a North London club. A few of his clients turned up as signings and and key figures in the boardroom. During this time the club spiralled, dropping down to 8th, facing embarrassment on the pitch, increasing fan anger and protests against the owners. Sound familiar?

Anyway, the club later decided to, basically, tell that agent to piss off and now no longer deal with him. Some of those clients are no longer at the club too. That club is now flourishing and is top of the league.

2) The same agent in the above story, is then alleged to have started having an influence at a Merseyside club by having the ear of their owner. That club has become a total mess over the last couple of years, facing a relegation battle for two seasons running, with fans fuming, protesting, and wanting the board to be sacked. A familiar theme, it would seem.

Only 10 days or so ago, the agent concerned, was challenged on air and admitted to having had dealings with the club before, but that the owner didn't always listen to him. He also stated, when pushed, that he would advise the owner to appoint Bielsa as their next manager. Guess what? Bielsa only flew into London a day or two before this radio interview took place, to have talks with the owner. Coincidence?

The owner ended up going for a different manager in the end, and already after one game we can see how the mood has lifted at that club. Going against the advice of certain agents seems to act as a cure for teams in a mess. Who would have thought it?

Meanwhile, in the land of make belief, movie directors want viewers to believe that there are no issues, despite 12 years of bullshit and despite there being clues of the problem makers still being around.

Oh, and I have to commend filmmakers for their recent portrayal of errors involving paper as always being genuine mistakes, which must always be forgiven and promptly moved on from. Great news for those of you who work in admin roles!

These movies and their fantasy plots, eh?
