Graeme Sharp

[Harryflashman]

Just wondering what an apology needs to look like.

'sorry for taking a lucrative job and supporting my boss' ?

I expect if he disappeared off the radar for a year we'd have a whole new set of people to be grumpy with.

If you perpetuate a lie about a fan base who adore you , a lie that has such an impact much of the media still report it as fact , then it doesn’t seem unreasonable to think something would help .

I’m no Pr expert but a much better written statement than the below would surely help , wouldn’t it ?

“i’m so sorry about the whole situation , I thought I could help but ultimately I was wrong . I trusted people I shouldn’t have trusted and all this was the result . I can only assure you I went there will the best intentions . I’ll always be a blue and given the chance again of course I’d do things differently “

What lie is he perpetuating ? One man and his dog ?

The credible threats to the board line and that players cars were kicked.

This came on the back about the headlock so played directly to that narrative .

I know this isn't a court of law or anything - but did he actually say that or his guilty by association ?

The fact that he’s perpetuating ‘headlock gate’ accusations and that they were threatened to stay away which was all unknown to Merseyside Police I’d say.

It was more belittling it , this was long before baxendale and that were on the scene

 

[Harryflashman]

I’ve said personally I’d be happy to see him back in the ground , although obviously it’s not my decision . I’m just not prepared to say I wasn’t impacted by what’s gone on

As loads of said already a legend of a player but not a very approachable man.

Obviously happy to take the money, but without the criticism. Wish I had a job like that.

Did he perpetuate the headlock / fan thing though - genuinely just want to know if he was quoted spreading it ?

He comes across as cantankerous and defensive - not machiavellian.

Obviously I put that above as regards the threat here’s a report and I’ve seen the videos more than once and not seen a car kicked so you can see why it’s all a bit confusing if not worse .

Merseyside police have said they did not receive reports of the threats that kept Everton’s board of directors away from Goodison Park on Saturday.
The chairman, Bill Kenwright, chief executive, Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief finance officer, Grant Ingles, and non-executive director Graeme Sharp were instructed by Everton’s security advisers not to attend the 2-1 defeat by Southampton because of what the club described as “a real and credible threat to their safety and security”.

Well he’s insinuating there was something in it and there hasn’t ever been anything disclosed.

Doesn’t matter if he comes across as Machiavellian or not, he’s peddling the party line from the board at the time.

 

[Ferguson1878]

Mad how much he sounds like kenwright in that interview with his what have I ever done wrong attitude

Still though….

And there it is why I’m conflicted and sad about the whole thing .

What a goal , what a day and what a footballer for us
