Stuart was and is an Employee of the Club and did/does what he has to from the brief he has from the Chairman/CEO. If you ever wanted to know what was going on in more depth a one to one with him would get you it usually on a confidential basis. He doesn't operate any differently as a Media Manager from another Club/Company would as far as public pronouncements goes.

You seem to have an idealistic/simplistic view of how a Club/Company is run. Its a Real World out here come and join it and be truely horrified!

My reference was to the work and effort he put in, and the loyalty he showed to "the club". As a paid employee, I would have expected him to have done what his employer told him to do on the PR etc front. He used to spin like a top for Caisley (including to me) and then for Hood (including to me). Some things he told me were without doubt disingenuous, but that was part of his job and I therefore would not hold it against him. I suggest your issue should be with his respective employers?

You seem to be alluding to further, unspecified issues and concerns? If so, then surely you are doing precisely what you said I was doing a while ago, namely casting aspertions implying there was more that could be told but not being prepared to - or able to - say precisely what?

But regardless, one would hope and expect lessons have been learned all round - not least by you and me and others who frequent these forums?

OK, fair enough.

I like Mick Gledhill as much as the next man, but a knighthood is a bit over the top.

Just going back to Lee St Hilaire; according to the interview with Francis Cummins in this week's League Express (by Aaron of this 'ere forum), Cummins is only going with one assistant in Lee.

"Last year there were two assistants, but this year I'm just having Lee..."

Finances dictate this is it seems.

Doubt he could find the readies to buy one .....

Ha, been there, got the T-shirt, seen the video...

Like most (I suspect) who have had the task of answering the phone to customers, I've disseminated my employers spin to the best of my ability, and managed to live with myself by inwardly saying, it's just an alternative point of view rather than probably not true. My only consolation is that I've always (apart from a short period in the eighties) kept a job.

Get a room, purleeese...

I think this is the real reason Mick is now no longer active on this and other Forums!

I know he still reads the pages so it will be good to wind him up a little!

When I co-commentated with Mick there was one microphone which was fixed to Mick's neck,
so I had to put my arms round him (in a fashion) & shout at his throat. Here is the evidence;

And the scary thing is...that looks to be a closer likeness of you than it is of Mick...

I don't wear ear rings & blue clashes with my lippy.

True.

That big ring through your nose compensates though.

Corrected for accuracy!
