Matt Dean

Quoted from Davec

Even some fans at the fans forum said that Russell thought he had lost his job, mind you they are probably the same people who John fenty deliberately placed there to ambush Matt Dean.

....and the conspiracy theory raises it's ugly head.

With how the club can't seem to get over this, I'm still not 100% convinced there wasn't anything in the story. I'm still also struggling to believe how Russell Slade or the players thought he'd lost his job if they knew why Woodhouse was at the training ground.

Either way, just get over it FFS. It wasn't a personal attack.

excrement tin pot journalism but some fans do believe the crap people like Matt Dean come out with. Doesn't make them fuckwits.

Weren’t the supportive fans at the forum friends of or extended members of the Fenty family? Hardly a conspiracy if that’s the case. It’s obvious.

I saw on the day it all kicked off that Talksport were saying they’d heard Woodhouse was supposed to be getting a job. Are they tinpot? It looks to me like there was at least some truth in it. Slade has since contradicted himself over it and this latest one looks like the dummies have come out again.

I will repeat that Humberside are award winning broadcasters. They are part of this country’s biggest broadcasting network. We really could do with floating supporters to get themselves to BP for money for a play-off push. Even just 50 extras who might have been inspired by a feature on Look North might be enough for a signing on bonus or something that tips the balance.

Not sure why Slade is getting his knickers in a twist to be honest, at the forum he said that he know Curtis was there as he was looking for tips after an interview or something similar. The story or non story comes out that Curtis is joining the coaching staff not taking Slade's job.......... Utter cobblers!

Pantomime Season came early at BP

Oh no it didn't

OH YES IT DID. exit stage left fo the evil stepmother

Many posters have missed, and continue to miss, the key point here, which is that none of us know whether the initial story was true or not. The fact that Mr Dean has not apologised tells me he still believes it to have been true. If that is the case, why the hell should he apologise? It is the club that should be apologising and they should have done it weeks ago. To allow this to continue to fester in such an infantile manner would be ridiculous at any time, let alone when we've actually had some decent results recently. Could our majority shareholder and manager please, for Christmas, just bloody grow up?

Hear hear. Steering away from any public comment would be better than the garbage that's come out of the boardroom lately.

This is ugly, whichever way you slice it. We should be doing better. We have to do better....

There's two sides to this - first and foremost, the board seem obsessed with trying to control the media, printed, broadcast & social - it's not going to happen. The only ones who seem to tow the party line are the Telegraph who need GTFC content to sell the paper - well that will stop in due course anyway like most local newspapers.

Secondly, I don't understand why any business owner/board would want to continue to rub its' customers up the wrong way. It doesn't matter whether it's 100, 1000 or 10000 - they are all GTFC fans who do or could spend money at the club and may potentially spend more if we were more successful/had a new stadium. Next time you make a call for unity or to move forward, make actions speak louder than words.
