Having not seen the comment I don't know what was said, but it's hardly nonattributable if it's from him is it?


well it made the press, so they must of checked, you'd hope. Otherwise he may be picking up a bit of cash this summer

Was it from Charles Krulak? Chuck Krulak? General Krulak?  Or are they all him?


The Chuck Krulak account (the one the message came from) includes at least one family member in his friends list, various military personnel and plenty of friends from the States.

If it is a fake, it's a very good one. The message read like something that would be found in the GK thread too. He was asked about it and hasn't denied it.

I don't think there's any doubt it was him. Having said that, I don't think there was anything wrong with what he said, it was just the shock of realisation that they were going to appointed AM.

I think it was him.

Someone from Vital Villa who has him as a friend on Facebook confirmed it was him. It was a wall conversation but was deleted quite soon after because the General was getting some abuse I think.

But it's 'Chuck' Krulak and has a fairly old picture of him wearing a viking helmet doing '5-1'.

It's about as real as that picture of Downing IMO.

Might well be and we might have been trolled the whole time.

The General could just come out and say it isn't him...

Wouldn't miss the General's thread if it doesn't come back tbh. He couldn't comment on the real meaty matters we're interested in hearing about from the board - i.e. anything to do with playing or managerial matters - for fear that the press pick it up. Anything to do with ticketing got the auto-response of 'contact Nicky Keye'.

Nice idea in principle for a link between fans and the board but for me never really valuable in practice.

He could do, or he could just ignore it as he has done the fake Twitter one.

I do wish General K sues that loser who's impostering him on Twitter.

The tweets aren't even funny, just monotonous. The parody has been killed.

If someone on Vital told me my name was Dave I'd check my birth certificate.

I agree with Brian here.

It looks to me as though the General Charles Krulak account is a generated account.

how about if we set up a thread call ' Not the general's thread', so we can put questions on there that you would like to ask the general, but obviously can't as there is no thread to do so.....
