When Yer Da owns a football club (thinly-veiled Glenn Tamplin Unappreciation thread)

[Ray de Galles]

Yep!

[Lang Spoon]

fackin 'ell. Fit and propah.

If anyone is in the Romford area, be on the lookout for a delivery of 20,000 cans of spray paint, 500 pairs of designer sunglasses and a metric fuckton of cocaine... erm, allegedly...

Disappointingly it finished 3-2 to opponents Coggeshall who were 4th in the table at the start of play, so a fairly respectable result.

[Janik]

fackin 'ell. Fit and propah.

I don't think the fit and proper person test applies at that level. It's a Football League rule.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Yep!

Woohoo, I got it in one!

[Patrick Thistle]

There's video of him from the game yesterday circulating on Twitter. It's not edifying.

[Ray de Galles]

In which case you really should share it.

What a div.

Thanks for that, I did actually search Romford and Tamplin and it didn't come up, maybe due to the lack of @, I don't know.

I believe the word is "twonk".

Well, one of them, anyway.

[pebblethefish]

If "twonk" was the first word that came to mind, then Toby is a considerably politer and better brought up young gentleman than I am. I'd have gone "coked-up cunt"

[Toby Gymshorts]

It wasn't, but I was tiptoeing through the field of libel laws.

[ursus arctos]

Even by the ridiculous (to me) standards of libel in England and Wales, I don't think anyone is running an appreciable risk in saying that that clip is awfully reminiscent of behaviour virtually all of us have seen in pubs and clubs.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Agreed. However I would put absolutely nothing past Mr. Twonk and for that reason I thought I'd at least try to at least keep WSC out of his eyeline.

The bloke's a wanker alright, though.

[Patrick Thistle]

What a div.

Thanks for that, I did actually search Romford and Tamplin and it didn't come up, maybe due to the lack of @, I don't know.

Happy to help.

There are a lot of replies and quotes of that tweet implying use of some kind of substance

[Paul S]

Romford have made it into the Evening Standard today with an article about Glenn Tamplin and Romford. I've linked to the article but the key words in it are "ITV cameras will follow Tamplin over two years for a documentary". Oh dear.

[Nocturnal Submission]

I don't know about you, but I've got a feeling that being made the subject of a TV documentary might make him a touch big-headed.

Sol Campbell is linked to two of them.

Sol Campbell is linked to two of them.

That has been noted by all Southend fans. On the one hand I understand that players and management want to be paid, on the other Sol Campbell is a wealthy man who doesn't need the money. The sad thing is that Sol Campbell will get preferential treatment compared to a local butcher, baker or The St John's Ambulance. Quite how Macclesfield though they were going to pay Campbell £180,000 for six months work and 30 games in charge is another matter entirely.

[3 Colours Red]

This is Sol Campbell we're talking about; the man is completely detached from reality and simply doesn't care what effect this may have on the local communities (both Macclesfield and Southend). No wonder he wanted to go into politics.

[Snake Plissken]

If someone owed you £180,000 and repeatedly promised and failed to pay you and kept the business going anyway, would you walk away?

He helped keep them in the League against the odds as well.

[3 Colours Red]

I get your point, but any goodwill that Campbell has amongst the Macc fans would surely be eroded if he effectively condemns the club to death?

That and the fact that he is a very, very strange man.
