Pornodwarf on Hardtalk

[Chico Hamilton III]

I took the trouble to record this as i was interested to hear what he had to say.  Despite all the previous posts, most of which are no doubt based on peoples petty hatred of the fact that the man and his business colleague were in charge of our city neighbours, I thought on the whole that he gave a good account.

People really need to take off their rose tinted specs and stop pretending that they have never experienced any form of pornography.  The guy made his money perfectly legally and unlike some folks in business does not go and hide away somewhere offshore to avoid paying taxes.

He was honest enough to admit that he was not in love with BCFC and that both he and Gold have more affinity with WHU.  His plans to relocate WHU and make use of the Olympic Stadium post 2012 make sound commercial sense and instead of belittling them Seb Coe and his gang should get around the table and see what UK plc can get back from Sullivan and Gold for their use of the stadium after the Olympics.  After all does anybody want to see another "Millenium Dome" situation occuring with tax payers money on that site because thats exactly where we are heading with this stadium after the games.

During the interview Sullivan was perfectly within his rights in outlining his framework for correcting the shocking imbalance that has been allowed to develop in terms of player wages and power and also for knocking the Premier League for allowing some of the more dubious foreign investment to come into the league.  Nobody can deny the mess that Pompey are in and in part the Premier League have allowed that to happen, their governance of our national sport has been nothing short of incompetent at best and downright negligent at worst.

In principle I believe he was quite right to touch on the Kieron Dyer issue at West Ham, the guy should have been medically retired a long time ago.  To be allowed to meander through his last two high wage contracts without checks and balances is wrong.  In any other business an employee (for that is ultimately what he is) who was unfit to perform the job for which they are paid, for as long as he has been unfit, would have been finished long ago on the grounds of ill health.  

To summarise I thought it was a good interview and that David Sullivan gave a good account of what he hopes to achieve at WHU.  His business model is both appropriate and robust in the current climate and I for one share his view on the need for clubs to regain the upper hand over the players and their agents and begin to reign in the excessive spending on wages that has been a blight on football for too long now.  The money is beginning to run out and we should all be preparing for the new paradigm that lies ahead, i believe they call it the real world.

Susbstitue the words "West Ham" for "Birminum City" and this interview is no different to the sort of rubbish he used to spout whenever a microphne was shoved under his nose at St Andrews.

I fell asleep half way through, but did Sullivan mention the incident that took place in his porn mansion last year, involving a young lady and a subsequent interview at the police station?

Like you say - "all perfectly legal", I'm sure

Did or did he not introduce £50 football match tickets into the west midlands?  

And now we should agree with him? Do me a favour.

Anybody who bought a £50 ticket was a fool and a silly fool at that!.  Capitalism dictates that the price is determined by what the market bears, its simple supply/demand economics.

That action does not preclude him from opining on the game in general.  Did you watch the interview, if you did perhaps you could tell me what he said in relation to the current state of the game that you vehemently disagreed with?  I look forward to reading it.

He looks like a ventriloquist's doll.
One of the scary old fashioned type.

That is quality!  You should send that to Football365 look-a-likes

Don’t talk bollocks. Anybody who bought the ticket was a Villa supporter who wanted to see the game. Don’t go calling us fools for being exploited.

Am i missing something with this local lifelong hammers fan i always thought he was from cardiff and was a cardiff city fan.
Also when the blues first got promoted didn't him, the Golds & Bagpuss constantly brag about spending big especially how they where trying to outspend us on transfers and wages.

As a child, I once dreamt about a vampire ventriloquist's dummy called Montague but when he bit you, you turned into a ventriloquist's dummy too. Still not nearly as flesh creepingly vile as Sullivan though.

That would make a great film.

Sorry if i offended anybody, just my opinion which i thought i was freely allowed to express on here.  I do not think you were exploited, you had the choice whether to buy at £50 or not, you were not forced into the purchase, the game was on TV anyway.

so pay £50 to watch the match at their ground or subscribe to Sky to watch it on TV ( £30 a month, £360 a year?).

I'd be interested to see your definition of "exploited"

I wish the press would stay clear of him.  He's a fame junkie.

That's 'fame junkie' - spelt K N O B.

Dont think you've got the right name MrVilla. For many the cost of away tickets to feed their addiction is beyond reason. Mr 'Villa when its a reasonable cost that I can justify' may suit ;-)

You are, and you did. But it just happens that the rest of us think he's a cock.

I am especially suspicious when he starts to moan about greed in the game of football. He is not in it for his health.

[KevinGage]

If he is it's clearly not working.

Maybe he should take up step aerobics.

Or foxy boxing.

He's certainly got the tits for the latter.
