Norman Smurthwaite interview

[Jacko51]

If you agreed to sell me your car for £100 and we shook on it then I came back a week later and said actually I will give you £22, would you sell your car to me?

 

What if you'd found on further inspection that the car had two wheels missing?

If you don't notice the two wheels missing when you originally agree to a deal then I could say you didn't look hard enough and I would question whether you were going to be a suitable person to take the car on the road.

Smurf is basically waiting for the windfall from JH sell on clause untill then he's not willing to negotiate

The car analogy is a poor one as you say but what if you were made aware of an issue that had not been disclosed previously?

Are you saying that any windfall we receive from a possible Hugill transfer would go to Norman and not the club??

Ray Williams said it was rumoured SS are no longer interested.He also stated it was rumoured that Smurf couldn't afford to pay Brown off.

He got one wrong what about the other?Do SS really want the club badly enough and what experience have they got in running a football club?Do people think they can afford to bring in the right personnel to run the club due to their own lack of experience?

Earlier this year Williams said that Brown would manage in the Premier League.

Fosse you are probably right but he did leave Leicester under a bit of a cloud so who knows.

 

You're thinking of Cloudio Ranieri.

Has anyone got a recording of the interview? It's not on iPlayer.

 

I'm interested in the allegation that he said "people on social media are making stuff up about Garlick leaving if Brown is sacked."

 

I have PMs from Gorm himself very much to the contrary.

[pjg1876]

Norman has said he has had five lots of £50,000 in payment for exclusivity from prospective buyers

 

He did say that he had five lots of £50,000 but quickly changed that to the club have received five lots of £50,000. Wonder which version is correct !

It wasn't in a Praise & Grumble program, but whatever the scheduled program at the time was (8-10pm) - something to do with Rob Adcock I think.

Maybe he is getting mixed up or someone hacked his account.

Yes they are definitely still interested in the club. They do not have any experience of running a football club but they know have never said they have. What they have said is that they will get the right people in to help. I believe they would have a far more sustainable plan for the future of our club.

So Smurf didn't want to appoint Brown as manager.But he wanted him to be involved more under Bruno.Told him that he could manage the club one day as he liked the way Brown worked and bought fresh air to the club

 

NS also said in last night's car-crash interview that during the Rob Page era, 'something happened' between Page and Brown and NS stepped in to prevent Brown from leaving the club.

 

How he can come out and say he didn't want Brown as manager is beyond me given everything he's said and done since Brown came to the club has been aimed at making him manager one day.
