I maintain that I’ll be surprised if it’s either of FL or KK or DS for that matter. Could be Neil Critchley who comes through under the radar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WD40 720 Posted November 10, 2021 Could very well be posturing from Bodo/Glimt to get more compo which is to be expected. Convenient to leak issues with talks to unsettle things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite, and there is a sub-problem - if it turns out not to be KK - in that it creates a myth that ‘we know’ whoever gets the gig ‘wasn’t our first choice’.

Let’s face it, none of us know, yes, that includes you yellow belly, but Lampard, to me, just doesn’t tick enough boxes for me to think Webber would come to the conclusion that he is the man to continue with his vision. May as well have stuck with Farke. The more I think about it, and I knew little of him and was sceptical a few days ago, but after reading up and second guessing the vibes coming from the likes of Michael Bailey, I think Lucien Favre is way more likely, and I still think that’s only a pipe dream.

glory.win or die. 270 Posted November 10, 2021 I can't say I pay much attention to what sexy Bennett says. As far as I have seen they just comment on things that already rumours on other sites, and are no more reliable than a fortune teller. They are so 'in the know' that they can tell us stuff about manager targets and possible issues which have already been mention on numerous other sites... Yet, they had no prior info about Farke being sacked 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirku 1,334 Posted November 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Nuff Said said: Derren Brown exposed this years ago when he met a group of students and gave each one an envelope which contained an A4 description of their personality and circumstances. They pretty much all said it was spot on and some got upset that he must have been spying on them. When they compared what they’d been given, they all had exactly the same sheet! It's quite hard to relate this analogy to things such as, "Gilmour is a done deal", "Gunn has signed" or "The club want to shift Hugill"... Or were they written on envelopes for a TV show?

I used to follow Sexy Bennett until they blocked me for some reason, and I agree some of the rumours they have quoted seemed credible. But the tweet at the start of this thread both proves absolutely nothing and is unprovable, while actively implying they are ITK. If it’s also true that they delete tweets that have turned out to be false as someone on here said, that is suspicious, but I have no evidence of that myself.

I've not seen any deleting but I don't really know how you'd go about seeing that unless you actively tracked everything posted. The only thing I can remember that turned out to be false was Ajer, but the explanation seemed pretty plausible to me - taking into account she clearly gets information that's quite far "down the rung" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

repman 635 Posted November 10, 2021 The telling part to me in regards to SB's itk credentials is the fact there wasn't a whisper about Farke losing his job up until just before it was officially announced. As far as I can tell, the only people who would have found out in the period after the game and before news broke were the players and the club media/local journos. Anything that is posted by the account that isn't imminent news tends to be either vague or incorrect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted November 11, 2021 10 hours ago, alex_ncfc said: I think if this account on twitter had any credibility, it'd be very very easy for the club to determine who it is, being as there are probably very few people who do actually know what's going on, and thus they'd probably get rid of them. If the club have any sort of nous then they will feed employees that are in a trusted position, especially the new ones, specific false information to see where said information will end up. It’s an age old trick employed in the music business to whittle out the gobshoites who can’t be trusted with sensitive information. Make no mistake, it will not be difficult for the club to determine who ‘Sexy Bennett’ is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
