Channon's Sideburns

Interesting from one of the links at the bottom.. Trevor Brooking (1991) and West Ham United Managing Director Peter Storrie launch a bond scheme to raise 15 million pounds for the Hammers to make the stadium all seater- as required by law. 15,000 bonds selling at 500 pounds, 750 pounds and 975 pounds were put up for sale. These guaranteed the purchaser priority for a season ticket for 50 years. The supporters arranged protests ending in a goalmouth sit-in at the 1992 Arsenal home match. Only 300 bonds were sold and the scheme was withdrawn. --- Old Trev's still linked to the FA?

I reckon Storyteller's there til the end. If he ends up in court for *anything* then running away from the problems won't do his character assessment any good.

I wonder how they got in contact...do you reckon it was the phone call or the email? Perhaps my thoughts on the 'Milk Sheikh' weren't too far off the button. If true, I bet Storyteller wishes he'd grabbed our Sheikh on Saturday.

That is based on the assumption that he hasn't already done well out of it...... (His salary ;-) )

Taped it on Sky+...can't bear to watch it yet. Only bonus of the day for me was coming home to wife and kids, my eldest (4) now wants to go to St Marys.. Happy days :-)

Comparing the settlement of a player transfer to release of future parachute payments is wrong and illogical. If you're using that as an example, why hasn't your Corporate God of Football Finance, Mr Tells-Storries, gone down that route to raise more cash for your club?? It's what any reasonable CEO of a football club would do. Hell, we even had players deferring salaries to save us. What have yours done? The square route of fook all. Apart from James giving up that add-on (which won't matter as he's likely to run at the end of the season anyway)... Why doesn't Storrie work for nothing for a month or two? THAT'S the sort of question you should be asking mate.

I bet if they would have been wrapped in brown envelopes there would have been trouser action.

ESPN's main hack is Harry Harris (ex-Mirror). That tells you all you need to know.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if their next owner was the Milk Sheik? Well, it's more plausible than any of the phone call and email guff Storrie's been on about. No problem Peter. So have you passed the company bank details on when replying to the email as requested?? ;-)

Ah. But it is known that the endorphins from sex sort the headache out. Tell her that next time. ;-)

Ahhh..give him til Wednesday and he'll be using those fans as his latest takeover bid. Had the money been waved with a brown envelope I bet there would have been trouser action. Well Petey, you think that was bad.. I hate to think of the grief you'll get from the Skates when they go under. Porridge is on UK Gold later...

He really is a piece of work isn't he? Not your responsibility Peter for the club - so someone else agreed the £70k per week for Utaka? The one you love?? The one that you still draw a £100k per month salary from? Enjoy Parkhurst. W*nker.

I'm more worried about our players, Lambert aside, not being able to hit a ball with any power when in on goal to be honest. If we'd taken our chances in the first half, what we are now discussing would be academic. Had we done that, we wouldn't have been chasing the game.

Pompey it is then.

But the paper aeroplane towards the cameraman was priceless... Altogether now..... 'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH' ;-)

I'd enjoy the moment if I were you. It'll take more than a bizarre twist of fate for your lot to get past Birmingham. Just HOW much do you pay Utaka?? Must say he's worth every penny, for comedy value alone. Which joker bought him then...? Oh. I bet your lot will be seeing more of the High Court than the High Ground this year.

Ahh.. I know who you mean. Professor. Milke Sheikh.

If it weren't for James, the Skates would have been out of it. Important to remember that.

Well done to the Lord Nelson in Hythe for this...

O'Hara was immense. The cooont should have been booked earlier, but as we know, sh1t happens. Shame he's not their player...tee-hee. So, for our Fishy Friends, celebrating their last ever game, he's a poster of the breakfast on offer at the Lord Nelson in Hythe...

Another song for tomorrow. Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle with You A song for Storrie.... 'Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...here i am, stuck in the boardroom with you'
