Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

I worked in a well know record shop in brum city centre in the early 90s and served Karen Brady once, from memory she was really obnoxious and rude, like I was something she’d stepped in. And yet I’m still a bit embarrassed by some of the early comments.

My mate interviewed her back then for the Birmingham Uni magazine, and said she was an utter twat.  And he wasn't a Villa fan, so wasn't even anti-Blues.

Was it Reddingtons rare Records - might have been looking for rare records of Blues wins.

An old neighbour of mine bought a guest house in Acocks Green and one of his first lodgers was Paul Peschisolido. He was chuffed as he was a big blue nose and ended up mixing with the Small Heath players in Rosies in Solihull and getting free tickets for games. Most new signings stayed at my old neighbours Dave's place when they first signed. When the London porn mob took over they put the new signings into hotels and just sent the new apprentices to Dave. Dave was not happy. He went from mixing with the first team players in night clubs to having to babysit the Small Heath kids and chasing off the young girls that hung around the place.

I recently had dealings with the London Legacy Development Corporation which owns the Olympic/London stadium.  I asked what it was like dealing with Brady and Gollivan.  The look on their faces was utter contempt and they also said they were a bunch of arrogant obnoxious twats, and particularly Brady.

There are many valid reasons to dislike Karren Brady. None of them are based on her gender or appearance.

I agree re Gender absolutely, and looks too. Appearance though.......

I quite like her gender and appearance.

she'd look better without that top on.

Get the impression she is a bit of a nasty piece of work. But I do have a begrudging admiration (respect is perhaps going too far) for her.

I'm guessing Phil Collins or Dire Straits?

I think the contempt clouded my vision! It was 27 years ago....😊

Skee-Lo's 'I wish" for her husband perhaps?

She had a national newspaper column at one time and it was more of a gossip column. She would drip feed/tease bits of gossip like the extra marital affairs of Premier League executives and club owners without naming any names. She also used it to have a pop at anyone in the game who she felt had wronged or slighted her. However I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for any meetings/conversations she had with Doug.

I have a feeling it was Sade. Could you check somehow pls ?

[Hookeysmith]

I wrote a piece to the mail many moons ago pointing out that the sactimonius shit she wrote in her regular column was beneath contempt.
She was moralizing on the sexualisation of young girls through fashion advertising whilst working for a scumbag porn baron whose daily rag offered gems such as sex chat lines with girls that were "barely legal"

Oh and she regularly had a suite at the Hyatt and was " visited" by several players. Bet old peskidildo was not aware.

I hate the ****** woman or not

I have no memory of what she bought, however Meat Loafs ‘I would do anything for love but I won’t do that’ was no 1 for weeks and weeks at the time and used to be played about 10 times a day every day in the shop.
Let’s just presume she bought that for the fellow Canadian Pesch and my dislike for that song and her are entwined For ever more.

I always had her down as a Crass fan.
