Webb's Divided Loyalties?

[EastStandBlue]

I've just seen this posted on another football forum that I occasionaly gander at...

As you may know, Webb isn't the most liked of characters down in Yeovil and following an article written for their fansite, Webb allegedly responded with this:

Dear Ciderspace,

I had my attention drawn to your article dated March 29th, entitled 'The Davey Vanishes' by a colleague, and I felt I needed to set the record straight concerning my current business dealings. It never ceases to amaze me how inquisitive football fans can be regarding an individual and his motives, but I have been persuaded that on this occasion it is probably for the best to prepare a response.

As it happens, my whereabouts over the past week or two has been a lot closer to home than you might expect. John (Fry) and Norman (Hayward) invited me down for a few days to discuss a relaunch of their Invest In Yeovil marketing campaign, and so I agreed to meet them to hear what progress had been made regarding ground development since I left the club four years ago, as I was told there would be an imminent announcement. That progress meeting was decidedly shorter than I expected it to be.

Hence I've been spending the week visiting my son Daniel, and watching the Yeovil first team train up on the top pitch. I've given Terry (Skiverton) a few tips on where I think the Southend back line might have a few weaknesses, as he's always been a good lad for the club. I always knew he had that leadership potential from the day I made him captain.

Just so there's no misunderstanding between the two sets of fans, as I find rumours can often spiral out of control, I'm going to be alternating my time between Roots Hall and Huish Park from now on. This week I've been assisting John and Norman with sorting out those damn covenants, and next week I'm going to be up in Southend helping (Southend manager) Steve Tilson out. Then the week after I'll be back down in Somerset. Daniel is putting me up in his spare room which is nice of him.

I've managed to cadge a lift on the Yeovil team coach to get back to Essex on Saturday. The Bentley is in for servicing and I've been a bit lost without it. Probably for the best though, as you know what the local press down here are like about the car I drive. It would only end up in another match report. So I'll be hopping off the away team coach and straight into the home dressing room a couple of hours before kick-off and then I'll be working for Southend for the rest of the week. That works out quite well, doesn't it?

Hope that explains what is going on. You've got my contacts below if you need them. Maybe I can avoid another 'Webb of Intrigue' headline. If only I had a quid for every time that's been used!

God bless!

Now, I don't intend this post to question Webb's position at the club, but I find the comment in bold to be particularly strange. What, exactly, is our apparent assistant doing talking to an opposing manager the week before a crunch, decisive game?

Think you'll find that article appeared on the morning of the 1st April! ;)

Jesus - I dont like that at all.

I did find it this evening and didn't notice the date it was published, and if it is indeed an April Fools it's a very good one, but it didn't strike me as one when I read it through.

Apologies mate, couldn't see it recently posted. Feel free to merge the threads or delete this one.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

ciderspace always had a good sense of humour.

A blatant wind up - Webby doesn't talk or write like that.

LOL sorry ESB but how could you fall for that! I mean come on, why would any manager need tips on how bad our defence is, they just have to watch one of our games!

 

[EastStandBlue]

My only excuse is I was caught off guard, thinking it was released today :D

Always be careful what you read on t'net --- next people will be saying SUFC have a few money problems.

I have no doubts that Webby will be in our camp today......because we are paying his wages ;)

Anyone with access to a television can see the weaknesses in Southends backline, it doesn't take insider information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
