60 Year old men with an ear-ring

I’d have the Ollie of old back in a flash. But it rarely works out well when someone returns with massive expectations 🙄
 
Luckily, right man at the right time & a good motivator for the players back then. Different times & many years ago now.

Now just a ‘briefly-was/has-been ’dinosaur, who can’t ever resist a snide but surely pointless ‘I love Koko’, for some reason, everytime he gets the chance, even at the risk of unsettling our present manager immediately before an important cup-tie.

File under ‘Bitter silly old sod, who got lucky for a while, then quickly got found out after a few games in the PL ’….

Appreciate this won’t sit well with ‘The Best Trip’ romantics, but for me he was a flash in the pan, who duly then soiled the pan with his support of the O’s, afore flushing the whole lot down it as soon as Palace came a-calling.
 
Each to their own. It will ofhave generated lots of talk, may get him another gig at the institute, some retailer might give him a new coat, he's ticked his boxes. He lives in hope.
 
Earrings are a bit 1990s aren’t they? Unless your a young lad and built when you can probably pull it off

I did see if I could get a ring still in my left ear. It went in but I looked a bit of a cock 😂
 
I have absolutely no idea why any man would wear a tie..... WTF are they all about, same as suits, awful, awful things, they should have been thrown out with the Ark. There is nothing comfortable about wearing a shirt and tie and a crumpled suit that gets cleaned once a year if it's lucky. I fought the conformity when I was in CID, I refused to wear a suit and tie and although I initially got grief, the powers that be just gave up in the end so I wore jeans and a shirt or a t shirt and fleece. I was comfortable, the general public were not intimidated by a suit and all was well in the world.

Oh do fuck off!! Speaks the person who loves bland, grey, uninspiring managers with no personality, well, you must be very happy. Ollie was the best manager we have had in my over 50 years of me supporting the club. How Grayson, Appleton and Crithcley second time have been employed and Ollie ignored is unbelievable, but Sadler seems to hate a bit of sparkle too.
 
So it's ear rings and polyester replica kits that the fashion police have banned after a certain age, anything else?.
 
He's a character doing what characters do, entertaining us plebs.

I thought his couture was great last night, TV needs more pundits like him instead of some of the other drizzle that we're forced to watch.

Bravo Sir 👏

Nowt wrong with a earring at 60, unless it’s from your missus jewellery box.
I thought Ollie was doing great until he started giving plaudits to Koko (made me cringe).

Just finished watching the whole thing back on the Virgin box. The KOKO stuff sounded very look at me/desperate. Like it was on his tick sheet of things to say and he hadn’t found time to say it so just started ranting about it whilst the presenter tried to close out the segment. Like an attention seeking middle aged twonk shouting “Dan!! Dan!!! Dan!!!! Dan!!!!!!’” across the car park.

A twonkish provocative media whore stunt as per usual

Coach Critchley would have got major brownie points from me if in reply to the “I wanted to pick up the phone and stop you leaving/are you sure” he’d said something along the lines of “at least I didn’t walk out on the club on a match day” to silence the gobshite.

I can understand people being annoyed with the love in with Karl but that is the biggest load of tripe I've read on here for a long time. Completely unfair . A flash in the pan getting lucky who took us up to the top flight for the first time in 40 years on a shit budget , got us 39 points and nearly took us up again. If you can't get some joy and good memories from that then god help you.

He also took Crystal Palace up. There’s no doubt he had a purple patch for a few years.

If he wants to get back into football slagging off his previous employers is hardly going to endear him to potential clubs. Balance sheet wise he is miles in credit.

The respectful thing to do was not to mention the Oystons he knows the history between him and the fans and lets not forget Koko sued the club under the current owner so dont come to Bloomfield Road and praise the actions of someone who asset stripped the club and caused many people a lot of misery.

He can only speak for how he got on. Most fans were so giddy with the brand of football that the owners were a side show.

He didnt need to speak about Koko he wasn't being asked how he got on with the previous owner they were not talking about how bad the previous owner was they were talking about SS.

Fair enough. I think too many fans expect the 'hired guns,' to feel the same as they do.

The chances of NC knowing that are slim to none.
