Gotcha.

He's blocked me on Twitter!

Why has he blocked you Darran - have you been trying to communicate with him, or just following.......?

As for Neil's interviews I think it is important to ask frank questions even if they are uncomfortable to both interviewer and interviewee, or otherwise what's the point? I like the TIG approach to FGR. On the other hand the approach to CTFC amongst local media outlets seems to be more psychophantic, not wanting to upset anyone in case they are persona non gratis. Might be to do with footballing allegiances.

As for Rowe, I spoke to him a couple of times, he does seem different from most football managers. Certainly not a teacups and tantrums or stereotypical alpha manager, and I don't think that is a bad thing. Maybe that gets loyalty and respect from some players as they might feel more comfortable to play and it brings the best out of them. But that approach is only going to work if you can back it up with success or in the long term questions are asked and stronger voices might take over the dressing room........

I wasn't following him and have never communicated with him. I believe he has blocked a lot of City fans on there.

I think Rowe is very focused and doesn't care whome he tramples on to get there. Problem is he looks to have the personality of a wet sock. Hex will find a time when all this comes back to bite him fully on his arse.....


RE: Transfer rumours - Andrew R - 09-01-2021

I haven’t been blocked, though I’m not particularly vocal on Twitter, plus my account is private.
