Conservative Club in Great Barr, for 120 people (sold out tickets to capacity). I think Dean’s family lives around there, his Dad did my grandparents’ patio or extension.

I doubt it, he hasnt had much nice to say about Brexit. But regardless him going to speak at a local Conservative club doesnt mean he is one. Hell I have had a pint at a Tory club as a guest and I am as left wing as they come. But if he votes for that party then so be it. There are plenty of Conservatives who dislike the current direction of their own party, same with Labour to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad was as red a socialist as they come. He used to use his local Conservative club, purely because they had the best snooker tables. He said they used to come round every election and ask if they could rely on his vote - and he cheerfully told them to **** off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think our head coach should engage only with people of the left in any case, that's not his role. I do find it interesting though, it's an unusual venue for a football club representative to play. They generally avoid potentially divisive stuff like that. Unless you're Klopp and you know you're on safe ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2019 Love this attitude. I genuinely think this approach will see us win more than lose. He’s not naive with it, he’s tactically astute enough to go and try to win games in different ways. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work permits sorted for Doug and Marv, they’ll be in Germany, and we are looking for a striker. He can’t recommend that the club buy Maupay at Brentford’s asking price and we overpaid for Mings because it was like having your son held to ransom. So, is this story a load of bollocks? And if so, why post it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
