Reivax_Villa Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Well i remember watching a video of his in pre-season, complimenting Steve Bruce and then under the same breath mentioning something about communicating with younger managers being an issue. From that moment I knew that if we were to appoint another manager it would be no different to what we have now.

DaveAV1 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Old men think like old men, young men think like young men. That's why Wyness can relate to Bruce and why the club is being run 10 years behind the likes of Wolves. The man at the club with all the power is however a young man. Perhaps his inexperience in football led him to opt for experience to help his learning curve. Let's hope his education is reaching a point where he can allow his young mind to do the thinking and move forward with tomorrow's men and not yesterday's. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I've said this many times, he is no fool. I'm sure he has been looking and learning, some of his tweets re other managers and aspects of the game suggest this too.

honest_bertie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) More and more disappointed with Wyness. And regards that tweet of keeping politics and politicians out of sport is disgusting. Sport has always been political, it gives some with no hope a chance and voice where they would not otherwise have one, football can offer lives some escapism from the daily grind, some hope and the feeling they are part of something. So I guess Wyness doesn't sympathise with the USA players taking the knee and by tweeting that statement I think he is demeaning and dismissing disasters such as Hillsbrough. Sport is and should be to do with politics and professional footballers would be well to consider that and perhaps sometimes pull their head out of their pampered a holes and say something, stand up for the people on the terraces who pay their wages, like the American footballers have. Wyness is basically saying keep politics out of sport so he and his corporate friends can rinse it for as much as they can get. Best thing Xia can do is learn fast and get this guy out of the club and get a modern replacement. 30 years out of date Keith.

I'm obviously Black, but even I think the whole "Taking a knee" thing has been turned into just another viral challenge, like the Ice Bucket etc. These days most people don't even know what they are actually angry about and are just keen to ride the popular wave. That being said, I wish I was getting the type of "Oppression" these multi millionaires do. This is the kind of thing which could turn into horrible arguments. See why some people would rather keep politics out of sport? For most people, sport is an escape from the shite which is the reality of life, I don't think people need to be depressed all the time ffs.

Sport can be a real stage of impact for positive statements about important issues and for the CEO of a large football club to tweet that to me shows a lack of empathy and consideration 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) He's a dinosaur and recommended a dinosaur for a manager. We need forward thinkers at this football club. Xia appears to have been hoodwinked by self-styled 'football men', a mistake Lerner also made. Edited October 15, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mistaken for being Swiss by one poster on here. It came from when I explained a German sentence refering to Juergen Klopp (can remember exactly) Grasshopper Zurich being a Swiss team.

jackbauer24 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This is veering wildly into gossip territory but what's the story with Nicola Keye?! Keith Wyness has liked a tweet in which Nicola Keye is slated by a former employee at her new club West Ham. I neither knew she'd left, or that she was at West Ham, but I certainly hadn't heard of any particular animosity. So, anyone know of what this is all about?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how to embed a tweet and the one he's highlighted is actually a screenshot of a really long message about how Nicola Keye is a "vile human being' and blames her for a number of perceived hardships etc. But, like I said, it means nothing to me other than being surprised Wyness retweeted it. Just wandered if anyone had any background on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
