Maddogbob Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Nice little opinion peice, he's bang on without driving the issue to hard. Remember he has to be careful how hard he goes, as he would lose access to the club I'd imagine. It's obvious he has some sort of "working relationship" with cook and joining up the dots, it was bound to be our Spanish chairman . That pulled the strings on that one.

S36 OWL Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The more journos question Paxo's involvement at the club, the better. This needs as much exposure as possible in the print media. Let's see how long it is before Chansiri and Paxo try putting the frighteners on Biggs for asking questions, just like they have elsewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daizan10 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 When I were a lad, I expressed an interest in journalism. My parents knew someone who knew someone and got them to inquire if I could talk to them. A few weeks later Alan Biggs phoned me and talked me through it all, as he saw it. He didn't have to do that, and while journalism didn't work out for me, I'll always remember he was willing to help a kid with half an idea what he might not hate doing when he was older. For that reason, I always follow his show and have a soft spot for his writing. This article didn't let me down. Well reasoned - a good opinion piece and well worth a read. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear05 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Chansiri thinks he can make Sheffield Wednesday better than the other teams in the league, by having the equivalent of a car boot sale level structure in place. How does he think that his structure of In charge: Random No football experience Thai Man Deputies: shady characters that have brought us some of the worst signings in the club’s history for huge money I would like Chansiri to explain how this structure is going to beat the structures that other clubs have? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 The Biggs obsession with Cook is a little strange. If I were Cook I’d be telling him to leave it, as I get the impression it’s doing him no favors. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% in agreement with you What I'm saying is people SHOULD be discussing what he's saying and not the fact it's Alan Biggs who said it E.g. discuss what he's saying and not who said it Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
