Quote: FickleFingerOfFate "Interesting that Wilkes should be mentioned as one who maybe released/ shown the door. Our CEO was very unprofessional towards Ollie in the hospitality stand, within earshot of regular fans. He seemed to take great delight in passing a snide comment when Ollie knocked on in the first half.'"
Doesn't surprise me in the least. You will always get this kind of banter/sledging amongst players and Coaching staff. However two people in particular the CEO and the Head Coach should be above it for obvious reasons.
I don't know if what you say is true (no offence) but I've heard the odd comments myself at the club through the years that were unprofessional.
What's especially stupid about this alleged dig is that Elston re-signed Wilkes and was here the first time. Any of us who have watched Ollie both times will know that grafter and decent player though he is he has a tendency to knock on, it's not new. Did Jim not notice or remember this before waving the cash!
