Looks like the knives are out this morning for our former town MP and club President.

Did anyone ever see him standing on the terraces? No? Another piece of PR sh*te.

I did see him several times on the Millhouse Terrace, he always had a long overcoat on and a blue and white scarf, fair play to the bloke and he was always on his own that I could see, no heirs and graces either.

Once on the Mill House terracing ….oddly enough he was looking around the crowd and not the pitch, probably letting the crowd see him.
Wonder what happened to his ‘beloved Pools scarf’ he spoke of… :laugh:

I recall him being interviewed at Pools and some sharp journo asked him a question about a defender, if my memory serves me well…and there was an awkward pause and Mandy was like a rabbit in the headlights till Chris Turner quickly intervened with a comment.

Yeah, they tried to put him on the spot by asking him who was going to be playing left back at the weekend. Chris Turner stepped in and said that even he didn't know who was playing left back at the weekend.

He's been sacked. I suspect there is more to come.
From what he has said about his knowledge of Epsteins "secrets" or lack of it shows a naivety of mammoth proportions. He is either extremely gullible or telling porkies. Never liked the guy so won't be shedding any tears.

The Epstein revelations started in 2006. Mandy has been sweating on this news coming out since then and has happily taken a significant amount of our public money in the meantime. Pension rights should be excluded since then.

No room for his lot in Politics.

Trumpy due over soon.
Wonder if he congratulates Super Tommy for his Patriotism day on Saturday.

While we’re on the subject of politicians, on the news yesterday Boris J is in trouble for taking money he’s given because he’s an ex pm and using it for other stuff. Hardly a surprise but it seems that all ex pm’s get about 150K to cover the expenses of things they may have to do because they are an ex pm.

Wow. The gravy train really does roll if you hang around in the right places.

Mandy Will probably get a payout for something.

Nice to be proven wrong - thanks - and credit to him. Mind, he's still dubious, allegedly

Absolute disgrace. He refused to resign even though he sent supportive mails to Epstein even after he was convicted and jailed. Absolutely shameless and just typical of the contempt that we are held in by the political elite.
Tar and feathers for them.

You’re missing the point…. what Trump did or didn’t do is irrelevant in this context.you deal with the subject in question.
Why didn’t you mention all the other celebs mentioned…?…..no, you simply chose to put Trump in because he’s your big bad bogey man.
I’d have to be criminally gullible no to point out your political opportunism.

Apart from deviant Bill Clinton I don’t think I recognised any of the other ‘celebrities’ if you could enlighten me that would be good. I like Trump as much as I like the useless Starmer, my point was the free pass Trump fanboys give him when he’s up to his eyeballs with Epstein. It’s noticeable that one of the last speeches Charlie Kirk ( I’d never heard of him till last week) was to release the fabled Epstein list.

I’d have said exactly the same if someone dragged Clinton into the argument from the opposing perspective.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this occasion..
I’ve knew of Charlie Kirk for a few years and was surprised so few people knew him when it happened….he’s like Marmite, I liked some of his points… but it was all a bit evangeical….to be fair he was a good debater, never lost his rag and advocated both sides talking to exchange viewpoints.
Silencing anyone’s message by assassination means they’ve lost.

Are you suggesting his assassination was ‘targeted’, btw Starmer should resign, he appointed Mandy when he was aware of his association with Epstien.

Once on the Mill House terracing, but he was looking at the crowd to get himself noticed rather than events on the pitch, which I imagine he must have found a bit confusing.
Never saw him again.

Well two tier Keir has to be scrutinized for appointing him into such an important job as Ambassador to the US. His judgement has to be called to account.
I have no doubt Jamie will be preparing a case for laying all of the responsibility at the door of Mr Farage, his wife or Liz Truss.

Because he actually was stood on the Mill House terrace with some bloke…looked like he was keen to be noticed…now call me a cynic, but I doubt he was there for the football.

More coming out, being talked about being bigger than the Profumo Affair, Starmer is going to get some stick deservedly so at QT today. I can imagine there will be calls for his resignation after his decision to appoint Many’s appointment as the US Ambassador, were there no background checks or was it just another case of jobs for the boys.
Verified reports from Sky said concerns from the security services were raised about the appointment but were ignored.
