Lets just say he isn't very nice.

This one is for you davek.

Bill is in complete control of the club, he has the final say in eveything, transfers, badge etc. The CEO is literally a puppet to him, even though he comes across amicably.

Bill literally puts on an act when he's on camera, he's an actor. But as someone who works at the club and with another family member having to put up with him on match day, the man is horrible, capricious and a bully. His wife is a really nice lady though, don't know how he puts up with him.

You work at the club ? Fair play for speaking out like..
 
You know what I thought people would click on who the player we are signing is... He comes down every summer, normally visits the city close to if not the end of August. Flies into John lennon takes a trip down the Albert Dock and loves getting his English cuisine on goodison road.

My source also says the deal has been a good few years in the making, it almost happened one year. They were all ready to announce it but kenwright blew the deal trying his hand in the fellas native tongue and it got lost in translation. He has kept in contact with bill though and often on his annual trips over here he meets up with him for a chat and persuasion. This time it has happened and the signing years in the making will happen.

You have got to be sh!tting me that people are buying this. Brilliant work.

Anything to back this up?
 
Haha to not run the risk of this running any longer I will have to reveal the player but it goes no further than this site.

riquelme!

Really thought people would have clicked on a few hours ago! I mean loves the Beatles, visits the city every year, loves fish and chips.

haha wasn't trying to start a frenzy, thought it was obvious

No idea who but I would put money on someone else signing by Friday.
Fish and chips on goodison road ?
No codding !! LOL !
 

The one on the left is our new big signing.

Althogh i reckon Harvey Whippleman would be stronger in a challenge than Osman these days.

I find it quite difficult to believe we are signing a deceased former basketball player/professional wrestler/actor.

On the other hand, at least we can use 'work permit issues' as an excuse not to have signed him.

That does not surprise me one bit.

Wasn't there a story about his standing n the theatrical world once, where a fellow producer was calling him for everything and that his staff were paid buttons?

He sounds like a two-faced so and so.

They used to have a saying years ago: "street angel, house devil".

Don't know what you mean, I work there. Bill has this very positive public image when on camera, but he's actually not very nice at all.

I'm sure if you met him by some fortune at the game or in the stadium he'd come across well, but he's a disaster to deal with as it's his way or no way at all.

Yes, you're correct, the public image of him is positive.

You have pointed out before on many occasions on how tight he is financially, that goes with how stubborn he is, he won't accept it any other way which is why I was initially surprised when Martinez came in.

Story goes that he said to another producer , I will make you an offer you can't refuse, could be a rumour like.
 
Tom Ince Update

Sky Sports saying that Blackpool have given Tom Ince permission to talk to a Premier League club for a loan... meaning that he will not be coming to us (in January anyway) because we already have our maximum of 4 loans. Shame really now that Oviedo is likely to be out for the rest of the season.

I have met him on three separate occasions away from football and he is very nice, but you seem to work for him and may have other insights. Can only comment on my experience.
