The Wigan Daily Mail.
That must have been some shrine to awfulness.
Once upon a time, you could’ve won your baby’s weight in tripe. “Eee look father, we can take baby Oswald down t’ paper and win all t’ animals stomach wall linings we’ve ever dreamed of!”
Tripe is less fashionable these days, but an expert in the stuff is our man in the gold plated Bentley, Emmanuel Anyone For More Tripe? Adebayor.
The Togoan took to Facebook to reveal the unsurprising chaos that is his family life.
Equally unsurprising are the ensuing tales of dimwitted thievery and avarice enough to make Fagin blush. He gave a relative a mansion to live in, it was rented out without his knowledge. He gave some cousin a trial at a football club and the twit hoisted 21 mobile phones from the other players.
When he sat down to have a family meeting, they all demanded new homes and monthly wages.
Making this public statement, we are assured, is not about shaming his relatives, we are told, but about helping other African families to learn from his experiences.
Which is tripe. The only thing we can learn from that, is stupid greedy people, tend to be stupid and greedy.
What Ade is actually doing here, is attempting to shirk responsibility for having signed a contract that gave him an enormous salary, that he rarely ever came close to earning.
No mention of his inability to get on a plane like every other Premier League player that attended the AFCON, or did that coincide with a funeral or a blood diamond falling out of his mother in law’s tiara?
One HH reader @NickKorda highlighted THFC making a preemptive strike on Bronze members bank accounts. His renewal letter asking for membership payment is 3 weeks earlier than usual.
Last year it came out on the 6th June, this year it’s the 15th of May.
Maybe the THST could help?
Probably not, looking at their site I could only finned this, which doesn’t help Kick or the tens of thousands like him:
Following lengthy discussions with THFC regarding the renewal date for 2015-16 Season tickets, we are delighted the deadline has now been pushed back from 30 April to 18 May. Full comment was made in our statement of 24 March, which can be read here.
Which yet again, looks like they’ve swung something, but in reality, they haven’t.
Unless you’re still getting paid weekly in a little brown envelope (in which case kindly adjust your watch from 1915 to 2015) don’t most people get paid monthly? So what benefit is there in securing an 18 day delay?
The same figure will still have to come out of your account from one month’s money. If you’re borrowing the money for your ST, then you’ve simply been given an extra 18 days to either take out a pay-day loan or prise open the pub’s fruit machine.
Azza Blud could well be back on his way to The Lane.
Just what we need, say I.
Another player that the current boss doesn’t want/know what to do with.
The Guardian are suggesting that Levy & Co will be looking to secure £9million for the Chapeltown Tornado.
My guess is that Everton will pass up this opportunity of a lifetime and nobody else will come in for him at that class of money.
He’s insanely overpriced – if this is indicative of THFC’s approach to player valuations come the summer, don’t be shocked if the ‘deadwood’ is still very much here.
