bigdan2003 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Just so happens David Weir was on holiday in Sheffield, and staying at the Copthorne of all places. Imagine that luck. Why would he go on holiday to somewhere hot and sunny, when there is Sheffield to visit. Why would he stay in a hotel central to bars, restaurants, theaters/venues and transport links...when he could stay on beautiful Bramall Lane, with a short walk to a tile depot, and a petrol station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Salmonbones said: Simon McCabe now talking about the appointment of David Weir in 2013. “Scott and I were quite worried about Kevin’s erratic behaviour over that past year. The first visible signs began with Chris Morgan’s promotion to caretaker manager. That summer he was adamant that Gary Megson would be the manager just because it would be easy, and he thought he’d be a popular choice. We had to take evasive action, and by chance found that David was holidaying in Sheffield with Lee Carsley at the time and they were staying in the Copthorne Hotel. Scott gave David one of his spare suits, presented him to Kevin, and within an hour we had a new manager.” Did McSue need his garden doing ?

Plus a short taxi ride to the delights of Pitsmoor and the Manor. A holiday up there with Syria Beirut and Afghanistan. A total culture shock guaranteed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 2 hours ago, shandypants said: The David Weir appointment turned out so well also didn’t it. McCabe is the luckiest fvvcker around with Wilder being a pig fan and wanting to manage them. McCabe stumbled on that appointment. If Wilder hadn’t have been a Blade, McCabe wouldn’t have gone for him and they would’ve been on their latest rhubarb appointment as manager. Lucky, lucky fvvckers. I suppose if you keep on appointing managers from the large pool of people available you will eventually get lucky. That goes for any club really. There’s no knowing how well it’s going to turn out when an appointment is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I reckon more fell for this than the old ordnance survey map showing Hillsborough built on pig grazing land. Though I highly doubt any of our fans will be claiming this as a fact many years down the line the way loads of pigs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE never went through with it though. HE needed to be close to home at that time, so that was a consideration for a brief moment.
