Michael Starr 519 Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Not sure if it's been mentioned on here or not, but I do recall Delia and the board seeking Mr Hodgsons recommendations just before restructuring the club, possibly inquiring also about this lad Webber, who seemed to be making waves in Yorkshire. Woy worked at Liverpool around the same time as Webber did and there are murmours that it was Woy who recommended the leap of faith into the Continental way (having managed in Europe himself with Inter and Switzerland). So I guess with Balls leaving today, and well done to him, do we also have some thanks owing to Woy? Edited December 28, 2018 by Michael Starr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,405 Posted December 28, 2018 I'm pretty sure Roy Hodgson played a part in bringing David McNally to Norfolk, not Stuart Webber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted December 28, 2018 I also consider the use of Woy as being a good indicator of the level of someone’s wit. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,495 Posted December 28, 2018 This is getting wildly OT, but I don't think our amusement at people with speech defects is necessarily malign. I like Woy. He seems a really likeable chap - & a decent football manager too. Patrick Campbell used his stutter to great effect - & Barker's Arkwright was anything but a victim. The Life of Brian parody is funny because the Romans (Womans?) were so pompous & arrogant they couldn't conceive how the Jewish population could possibly find them ridiculous. Del Boy's singer was a tragi - comedic figure because he was compelled to perform even though he knew the inevitable awful outcome. Most of us do not like tormenting those with problems. But if they acknowledge them & rise above them they command our respect & admiration. I think Roy is such a person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What jibes? BTW I see the Romans as the pompous remainers, shocked at the ingratitude of the populace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
