My dilemma

[canveyshrimper]

Good folk of SZ I need your advice please. I have a serious problem.

I have been invited to a lunch on 4th April where the guest speaker is one Alvin "Chipmunk" Martin. :stunned:

What do I do? Do I accept and go along and listen to his "witty" stories about coming through the West Ham Academy (they won the World Cup y'know)?

Go along get ****ed and harangue him about his managerial expertise and hurl bread rolls at him?

Or decline gracefully and spend the day in the office?

Thanks all.

Is it a work thing, and if so how long to retirement?

 

[canveyshrimper]

Yes and too long.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Then call in sick before temptation gets the better of you!

I'm all for the bread roll throwing myself and maybe a brick.

play nicely - he tried his best for us, its just that his best was ****

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

To be fair i liked him as a bloke but didnt like him as a manager,go and be merry,be the bigger man and just tread on his toes on the way out whilst muttering,i was on eggheads dont you know.

This. And try to encourage him to apply for the Col Ewe job once they've had enough of their current clown.

Go, and when you get there express your disappointment as you thought you would be seeing alvin stardust.

And we had so little money he was forced to buy Col Ewe cast offs when they were a division below us.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Go.And make sure you tell him what you think of him as a SUFC fan.He deserves to be told.

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

Say nothing except "Friday night. Hull City." Then throw your box of locusts in his direction and let nature and the due process of justice take its course.

 

[Tinks]

Go and then heckle him while he is trying to talk

He is actually a very nice bloke. As I understand it when he was at Southend he was under strict financial restraints set by the chairman as to how much he could spend on each part of the team, i.e defence, midfield, forwards.
Personally I thought his tactics of hoof it and if we are losing at half time, hoof it longer, were pretty poor but plenty of managers have been successful playing that way.
Go along with an open mind, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

It's called a budget!

I think he tried (unsuccessfully) to get us to play football - he was the manager who signed Kevin Maher after all - but I've no sympathy whatsoever for his cries of financial restraints for someone who paid money for Neville Roach.

His signings were, with one exception, atrocious (and even that exception was atrocious for his first five or so seasons at Southend). His tactics were dreadful. The results were dire.

All this from a manager who spent more in transfer fees in a single season than Little, Webb, Newman, Wignall and Tilson (up until he got into the championship) did combined.

I don't think I've ever felt so ashamed as I did after that Doncaster game and I don't think I've ever felt so relieved as I did after that Hull game.

He's not just a ****, he's a W*** H** ****.

Thanks for the advice all, I'm sure I'll attend and I've asked the local baker to design a bread roll wrapped around a brick. Thanks Grouty. :smile:

Went to a similar event last year and it was quite a laugh. Martin was decent value but Tony Cottee was a complete and utter drip. Loads of curry and beer helped sooth the pain of being surrounded by Claret and Blue Monkeys.
