Ian Taylor left out of tour...

[PeterWithesShin]

Ridgewell pretended to wipe his arse with £20 notes. IIRC he later claimed the money was winnings from a bet with a mate and he did the pic to wind up the mate.

And here is the pic Ridgewell's arse

I do agree Lee Hendrie has come across really well in conversations, but choice of him or Ian Taylor is no choice

Or Shaw, Withe, Mortimer, Evans etc.

Loads more, Mortimer not good coice as he will speak his mind, Withe managing overseas. Evans would speak his mind what a player. Gary Shaw what a player

[Steve67]

So, basically, any former player, who will speak his mind, cannot take this job because useless bollocks Lambert will get rid. Hendrie must be some sort of puppet then. Whilst I understand that the club must act with professionalism at all times, I would also like someone who tells it like it is. I think you can do both. There are reasons for things being as they are, Lambert said so himself, so let Taylor tell the story.

So, post-match interview with Benteke

Interviewer: You played well Christian but you just be disappointed with the defeat

CB: this club is a disgrace. the manager must go.

I: Wow. Your first goal was taken splendidly. you must be thrilled?

CB: Enough's enough. The fans are shit here too.

I: Given that you are employed by the club is there anything positive you could say? just for the fans?

CB: *Belches into camera and gives 'the bird'*

Same dif really.

We won 1-0

Just listening to Ian Taylor on Tom Ross's phone in. He's confirmed that the club were not happy with one or two of his comments towards the end of last season which is why he wasn't in America.

Good job the club haven't heard one or two of my comments about them or else I'd be down the treacle mines for the rest of my days.

Did he decide not to go because the club did not like what he said of did the club decide that he should not go because they were not happy with what he said.

[Dave Cooper please]

Does it matter? He was being paid to be a club ambassador, and as such he should not have been on social media slagging the club off. It matters not that he may have been correct in his criticism

[Louzie0]

I suppose that being club ambassador for any club is plain sailing if the club is doing well.

If the Ambassador is an ex player and the club is faltering on the pitch week after week it must be very difficult not to comment about it! A career politician would manage.

Not saying he was justified in his actions, just that, to be ambassador in the first place he has to feel an affinity for the club over and above the respect or affection of a player for his old team.  I would cut him some slack on this basis and hope that relationships can be mended, for everyone's sake.
And, it's very nice to find that Lee Hendrie feels the same way, always a bonus with an ex player.

[Steve67]

Boy,does the club need some positivity! A decent signing might just do the trick.
