Gold: Eck Would Be Great For Pool.; Merged

From The Scouse Forum About Big Eck

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think he's the real deal.

He's done miracles with Birmingham, and one proven sign of a good manager is to do a lot with little means.
I also like his attitude; he's always on the touchline encouraging his players, full of energy and enthusiasm, and quickly reacts to changing situations during the game.
He is British and his heart is in the right place. I'm convinced that he'll have a great approach towards the players and will know how to take out the best from each one of them. With his quiet and sincere approach he'll also know how to handle big ego stars.

He is a good manager, with a great character; the kind of manager that players play for him and give 100%, because they like him and want to achieve success with him. He will inaugurate a new era at Anfield.


NO HE WONT, BECAUSE HE IS AT BIRMINGHAM, BACK OFF FFS :banghead:

Why would he want to leave?? It'd be a step down for a start

I know they're not having a great season, but to suggest Liverpool would be a step down from us indicates extensive drug use.

Just say no.

With the financial situation at Liverpool he's surely better off here at the moment anyway...

He has a chance to build a legacy here with the backing of Yeung and Co...

He has proved he can get the best out of players without having much money to spend, if the investment continues for the next few years we could easily be playing Champions League football at St Andrews in the next few years...

spot-on

Gillette and Hicks have got in a terrible state.

McLeish does give the impression he is a thinker. Do you think he'll honestly go from escaping the frying pan of Sully and Brady into the fire of Gillette and Hicks?

No, neither do I.

Gold is just pining to be at Blues, and another chance for him to blow sunshine up his own backside and tell the world how great he was for Blues, the bloke just can't let go, just naff off were doing fine without you, and and waste your money on WHU

Bit unfair wishing him and his investor friends onto WHU. I wouldn't even wish them on the Villa. Keep the profiteers completely out of football. :redcard:

well said mate. I bet they hate the success we have at the moment too, a right bunch of grapes!

They couldn't care less about blues success, what is hurting is the lack of future parachute monies and future sky money,and then

listen boys, this is the price we pay for being successful. the fact that the media are talking about a big club needing our manager means we've come far in the last 2 years, where before teams like wigan wanted our manager!

not gunna happen, im sure mcleish is way to happy with the way things are going atm, and with a new board with money to spare, what could go wrong for AM, and if he went to Liverpool he would have had to 'pick up the pieces' of Rafa.

Gold is just a sour old man who is still seething at the way Blues are performing without him, he is so concerned about his public image that he probably thinks everyone in the world is gonna laugh at the fact he got shut out of the West Ham buyout by one of Gianfranco's pals...

And because of this paranoia he wants to try and get back at us by causing friction in the camp by trying to unsettle our manager, face it Gold, you are a sad pathetic excuse for a man, maybe you should go and play with marbles on the M6 and do the majority of us a favour!!

Carson, knock him out! Carson Carson knock him out!

The reasons I preferred David Sullivan over David gold are to do firstly with DS being the real driving force, but also in there is the fact that DS speaks his mind openly, whether it is nice or not. DG was always a sop to fans need for pleasant wording, mealy mouthed my old folks would have called him. He is from the same stable as DS, has done business iwth DS for many years, and that sort of relationship doesn't form without a fair degree of common thinking.

Because of that I am not surprised that DG is now trying to put the boot in, now that he doesn't have to pay lip service to our fans. He along with DS were badly upset by our fans, and will have their little revenges as time goes by.

This is what really gets on my nerves about DS, DG and KB. What for heaven sake have they got to be upset about.
They chose to buy Birmingham City nobody forced them or even asked them it was their choice.
They did well as business people this is what they wanted to do and the fans supported them with their money.
DS, DG and KB ran a very tight ship fiscally sound loaned money to the club when they needed to then took it back from it when able to through making profit on transfers and club incomes and revenues.
DS, DG and KB did suffer from some fans criticism for not showing enough ambition and lacking investment. While I have always maintained that I agree DS, DG and KB should not neccsarily throw all their money at the club. They did appear to gripe and complain unneccesarily DS hated the travel. Cardiff and London clubs interested them. After 16 years interest in BCFC hadnt grown it had faded.
They sold the club and made millions ingraciated by Mr Yeung who I would have thought they embraced given that they didnt want to be involved any more. Instead of being happy about the deal they treated him very badly.
Why? The Brady deal was just silly. A mobile phone? The Executive box, what for? As well as the payments and the Porshe. To be honest the package probably woud have been fair enough but why didnt they have the courtesy of running it by him. He was buying the club at a good price not having to keep her for 3 year afterwards. She worked for DS not him.

When the trio chose to leave they didnt leave as custodians of teh club leaving it in to others to continue. No they self publicised themselves and decided to rub all our noses in it FACT!!
Now they have left and for the life of me I cant see why they are so bitter.
They did a lot for BCFC but BCFC also did alot for them and just a bit of acknowledgement of this over the 16 years probably would have won the fans over. Made the club a bit more positive place to work at and to play for and to go down and support on a Saturday. It's was hardly a good marketing campaign is it - I own BCFC but hate having to attend matches.
I could see that being fiscally sound and little debt was good for the club.
However it is evident that sine they have left a cloud over the club has lifted.

I think you would have to ask them directly to get any sort of decent answer, but the insults used to fly back and forth between fans and DS particularly early on, I tend to lay that at the door ofa small section of our so called fans at that stage, when they used to call DS 'The Toad' for very little reason that I could determine, but the waters became very muddied by poor responses form DS. Then if you go on to the time when fans attacked DS's son, ripped up the goal posts etc. then you can see that the relationship was anything but pleasant for most of the time they were here. I always tried to say we should support them no matter what, but some would not listen, I'm afraid we are reaping what those fans sowed on our behalves. Absolutely no call, and no need for the behaviour that went on.

I too was appauled by the fans who raided the pitch and abused them and their family. However I cant see why they have it within themselves to let down the club, and the majority of fans like yourself who provided them with ongoing support even when disagreeing or frustrated by them.

DS, DG and KB aren't limiting themselves by what they say and do no they are choosing to take out so called revenge on people like yourself. This is appauling behaviour and while they havent stooped to the level of those who verbally abused them that sad day. The spirit in which they are behaving comes from the same place. I think the majority of fans admired and respected their business acumen and even though they became frusrated they dont deserve to be treated badly by them.

At present DS, DG and KB seem to be hell bent on displaying their character flaws for all the world to see. They appear to be very sad people full of self pity it's very, very sad to see such capable people behaving like this.

I think it would be best if Pool sacked Rafa now, because there is much less chance AMC would leave halfway through a fantastic season than in the summer. Hopefully this stoke result sees him off

tony123, you hit on exactly the things I always wanted to say to DS and KB particularly.

It would have sounded something like 'Do not focus on the hooligan element of our fans, if you do you will see us all the same and we are not, and treat us all the same and you should not'. I think they showed that character flaw (if you can have a group character flaw) by doing so.

On the other side of that coin, we do have a fan problem. You are one of a small number of the mass of reasonable fans who will actually make their views heard, I hope I am one of that elite band as well. But the issue I have with the reasonable' Blues fan, is one of apathy/invisibility/weakness not sure which. But effectively, we the reasonable fans allow BCFC to be dominated by the 'abusers' nature, and whilst we do that, we will have a club that will not succeed as it can do in my view.

Thankyou for the personal attack although I feel it wasnt particlualrly called for. After all nobody criticised you unless you are DS, DG, KB. I agree the phrase Lewis used may have been somewhat inflamatory. I think he was trying to place a difference between fans who can maintain their self-discipline and those who chose to verbally attack and threaten our previous board when we were last relegated.

All in all I feel his vocabulary was somehat mild and the only ones who might be offended were those toerags who invaded the pitch shaming themselves and BCFC supporters at large. Three teams get relegated every year that's the competition there is no excuse for such behaviour absolutely none.
